Also, I didn't see the games but wasn't rain the guy that got stomped by Curios and now he 2-0'd leenock...did he play that better than then or did leenock play bad? Leenock had an ultralisk strategy that killed nothing basically and in game 2 tried roach drops and then did SOME damage and then decided to never transition out and just keep trying roach drops/run byes.... so Leenock played badly in game 2 and I'd say strategy choice in game 1 was quite poor. | ||

That is meant to show that it wasn't like these WB GSL players stayed there by dominating Kespa. The guys who originally beat Kespa mostly lost this week. All I'm saying is that "look at WB, lolo" does not make the point they wish it to make. Curious > By.Sun Hero > Effort Alive > Jaedong Gumiho > Soulkey Puzzle > Hero Puzzle > Reality For your attitude of "Hey, I just want to sardonically and/or condescendingly point out perceived logical fallacies I find with other people's posts", you sure make some convenient oversights of your own. Oh, and the only guy who lost this week that originally beat Kespa was Gumiho, so your use of the word "mostly" is rather perplexing. Also, I hope you realize that even people rooting for Kespa players are becoming fed up with your condescending flame-baiting throughout these threads. Just sayin'. You can make all the excuses you want about how what you're doing isn't motivated virtually solely by a desire to piss people off, and maybe that's actually not your intent, but you're just really bad at just coming off as a pleasant, remotely likeable person if that's the case. | ||

Every tournament champion wins by beating only a small percentage of the players at that tournament. We make the winners of each round play each other in the hopes that it means the better players will continue to advance until we find the "best" player. It's more complicated than that and it's not the perfect way to find the "best" player (it depends on how you define that, I guess), but that's the general idea that every sport follows and it's the best system we've got I think. You're reading too much into what I said. All I am saying is that the WB GSL guys have (mostly) not played against the Kespa guys. That's all. | ||

I have been coming here less and less and actually looking over at reddit starcraft during games because it has higher quality "discussion" and talk about the game to a certain extent. | ||

Ok... so the people who beat the Kespa players were beaten by someone else and you are using THAT as an argument that you are right? So to put it in far too simple of terms what you are saying is this.... player 1>player 2 and gets beaten by player 3 so logically player 2 is better than 3. GJ. | ||

Oh, and the only guy who lost this week that originally beat Kespa was Gumiho. I am talking about the people still in the WB. Perhaps I do, but I admit then when I do, that's the difference. So only Gumiho beat a Kespa originally, instead of most who were beat this week, I was wrong. There, no big deal. | ||

It is absolutely beyond me how can anyone be this stupid. I suggest you read what I said again. A few million times. But in all honesty, I don't think you'll get it. That is, that I really said only what I wrote there. Not the additional stuff you somehow magically inferred from it. User was warned for this post | ||
