Well shit, if this was BW instead (yea yea I know, shut up) and it was the eSF players switching over, I guarantee they wouldn't be able to take off more than a single series from the top 30 KeSPA BW pros within the same time frame, same advantages and all. Not even the most talented B-teamers, who played years before becoming one, take at least a year to break into the A-team and start taking games off the more experienced pros. I could probably make the same case for a LoL team switching to DoTA 2, or vice versa. Experience should count for something | ||

Such a strong, well-formed argument! I'll use it with kespa replaced with sc2 and esf with non-sc2 (ha, the irony!) sc2 is even less interesting than bw, sadly. both in its play and its personality. people acting like its a huge deal that sc2 is so young when really it isnt. they have 10+ years worth of progaming and history to study of all the best existing esports while bw players had almost nothing to go on in the early 2000s. give sc2 10 years of esports history with blizzard subsidies and you will see bw being upset by sc2, its not like sc2 can 'keep up' in the mechanics department anyways, they just have an edge by existing later than bw. See how strong the argument is? | ||

Elephant victories were of course unexpected, not welcome by SC2 community and there is nothing strange about it. It is a natural reaction. Try to bear with the fact that some of us, like me especially, are still hobbling along with an old bag of memories, which we are trying to give a second life. Why would SC2 fans be mad about the fact that there are players of legend doing well ? Don't generalize, I'm a big SC2 fan and I only watched BW in 2009, and you don't even know how happy I am about the fact that these players are doing well, it brings new tensions and makes it a lot more interesting to watch It's just some fanboys who are mad at seing their fav players losing to some "rookies", otherwise I think most of us SC2 fans are okay, and even happy with all these old new players crushing nerds ! :p | ||

Based on your logic, Code A/B randoms should be able to regularly take games off Code S players because of 2+ years worth of replays and vods to study correct? | ||

i wonder why all your gsl champions didn't make it in brood war, some of them started in 2007, so that means that they had 7+ years of tactics, replays, etc all panned out for them. | ||

Seriously in time people that didn't follow BW will grow fond of these guys doing well in SC2 because they are entertaining and most of our favorite players will find a way to remain in the spotlight. Either they are good enough(Dongraegu, Parting) or knowlegdable enough(Nestea coaching Jaedong in Sc2?). | ||

The BW fans know the truth lol. Everyone else were the people scoffing at the Elephant in the room article. | ||

Because BW is 10x harder mechanically and no matter what they studied they weren't going to beat great BW players. | ||
