I'm not getting any audio on the VoDs, is this a known problem or is it on my side?

Only if the antagonizing side don't spark the fire in the first place. So far, that's the sole reason why BW knowledgeable fanbase are doing, they are defending against the ongoing onslaught of the uninformed. People who don't take their time and effort to learn about the StarCraf's gaming competition is really committing a sin here. Some might even call that 'hurting e-sport'.

damn, mvp and mkp got crushed. definitely did not expect that.

Disappointing play from MVP and MKP. Didn't like a lot of their decisions and I definitely didn't like how they chose their engagements. Very subpar by them.
Plus, I would also like to say how this format of round-robin, only one game per night, really benefits the Kespa players and how they are able to focus on their practice time.

The elephant article was written by a BW elitist fanboy and was the first time I saw any conflict between the fan groups specifically pertaining to SC2. The only arguments from before that were the BW fans saying how much better their game is and how they don't enjoy watching SC2. Perhaps BW fans should simply accept that not every SC2 fan will know a ton about BW and that it is not an insult if they don't have time to learn about it. Many Sc2 fans expressed excitement about the BW players joining them and an expansion to their community. I very much doubt this is the way they expected it to go down. Stop acting so god damned elitist and like you shit Lannister gold and perhaps you would see less crap spewed. From what I can tell the huge majority of SC2 fans simply want both sides to perform well and for the people that they have cheered for two years to have continued success. I hope that Kespa players do well and I hope that the top ESF players continue doing well too.

i see why u guys say moletrap is bad caster...in MVP vs Flying match up, MVP lost 25 scvs, but he said mvp only lost 6-7 -_____-
|
I honestly believe the best ESF players will continue to be near the top for awhile. Kespa players will improve as well and the SC2 scene will benefit greatly from increased competition and interest.
Why everyone needs to bash on Kespa players or ESF players is beyond me. I think at least for the rest of WOL there will be a healthy rivalry.

That article is suppose to be taken as an education piece of work. A work that could very well reflect on the future of the StarCraft 2 scene. The author's intend was to teach TeamLiquid's newly acquired StarCraft 2 fans about the 'other side of the gate'. Yes it might hit a touchy string in the heart of many people as they have became quite fond of some of their players. That's comprehensible on my part. But however, it does echoes sounds of truth and was very prescient on the following sequence of things. At heart, it suppose to give hope to the fans about the upcoming events that could potentially change their whole point of views on professional StarCraft gaming.
But then it met with multiple of relentless attack reigned from the new fans. But these attacks are not based on logical reason or by looking at what the facts present themselves in front of their eyes. No these strikes came from their emotional egomaniac of new-kid-on-the-block-attitude. Instead of acknowledging it with humble humility, they put up their pitchforks and waged war upon the site's veterans. That's not the worst part yet, they have also developed an irrational abhorrence toward the grandfather of culturing altering's perspective on professional gaming, the predessor itself Brood War. And thus came the posts about "BW is a dead game", "Stop trying to change 'our' game for the better, if you want to obtain things that make BW great, you can just go back playing that game."
And that's the exact attitude that the Brood War originated fans detest with the greatest passion possible. And it is up to 'us' to individually educate the uninformed about the entire Korean's professional gaming scene, their structure of the system, and its historical aspect.

Second this, it is not possible for one side to dominate the other side on top level completely. But for mid level, code B, code A level, it is possible that KeSPA players can dominate. Just because they are treated better in their teams, their owners usually have more money. They train harder, and there are a lot of them. Lots of GSL players are actually like semi pros, even some top players.

Funny, all I remember is SC2 fans saying things like "Man I can't wait to see Flash switch to SC2!", and for that earning the undying hatred of certain BW fans. Nobody went around saying that BW players would not excel in SC2; any sentiments in that direction were just a response to the elephant article, which started it all.

No, not really. I feel like BW guys fall back on this but really you're not better than the people you criticize.

I don't see what's the debate here. In time, the player who will dominate the scene will not be KeSPA players. Nor will they be eSF players. They will be the kids who are sitting in PC bangs right now, watching these current heroes while growing up, and dreaming to be on the same stage as them. In time, both the KeSPA players and the eSF players will fall off, and these new heroes will come to replace them. It matters not whether they will ended up joining KeSPA teams or eSF teams. It matters not whether these organizations will be separate entities as they are now. No, as long as the scene survives, these players of the future will be the ones to dominate the scene, just like how iloveoov replaced boxer, savior replaced iloveoov, etc. Those, will be the real elephant in the room, the elephants of the future.

They were to be expected. MKP hasn't been looking good lately, he didn't do well at MLG, lost a bunch of games to foreigners. MVP won a European tournament with a weak line-up, but his TvP has always been his weakest matchup.
Meanwhile Rain looked very solid in the WCS, especially in his ability to play turtle style Protoss.
This really doesn't say much about Kespa vs Esf. Frankly, the selective arguing of the BW fans is a little irritating. When DRG roflstomps the most recent BW champion, it's glossed over with "he didn't have time to practice, he could have won if he hadn't missed that forcefield" etc. But when a Kespa guy wins, "OMG the elephants are crushing the SC2 gods".
The only dominant win from the Kespa guys was really Fantasy over Nestea, and we all know how Nestea has been looking for a really really long time now. He will soon retire, and probably become a coach, mark my words.
I feel bad for the poor Esf players. If they win, well, they were supposed to win. If they lose, "OMG they got stomped, LMAO. Elephants are on a rampage!!!" Kespa players should not be beating SC2 pros with years of experience. It shouldn't be happening, at all, and not around a 50% win ratio like it has been lately. At least, not if the SC2 pros are actually going to have a chance of holding on to the top. Also to sitromit's comment on DRG beating Jangbi: lollllll. The guy just won the most and the last (giving it even more importance) bw championship. This was literally only four weeks ago. He said he was practicing only BW. And that to a lot. On the other hand Fying and Rain have been going hard on SC2 since last season's proleague ended. Even in interviews before the games Jangbi said hes not ready to play at GSL level. On the other hand, the guys whove been practicing for proleague sc2 seemed decently confident in their sc2 skills in their interviews. My point is many Kespa players are holding their own agaisnt the best of the best. Even Best coulda done okay vs mc if he controlled his immortals a little. Time will tell forsure but the trends are looking goooooood for my kespa boys  You say his problem was control on his immortals? And for some reason you expect me to believe in the KeSPA advantage when an ESF guy has better control? Isn't control game independent? Now this is not to say that KeSPA advantage doesn't exist, but don't say something about control. If MC has better control, than this whole bw thing has superior control is simultaneously being melted. EDIT: which ofc I don't think you are trying to say. So dont say it  MC was a bw player, he was just a shitty one. Best has always been known to have shitty control, and no control is not entirely independent. Obviously theres a correlation between games but the units genuinely do interact different. Pretty ridiculous to say its being melted when mediocre bw tosses just raped the two best terran in the world... Ah you misunderstand. I am only saying that the poster is incorrect in talking about control. I am not in anyway saying that KeSPA players have worse control. In fact, I would EXPECT them to have better control. But if you want to say that his problem was he didn't move his immortals, you are also at the same time saying MC has better control. Maybe it is true, maybe it is not, but I am not arguing that AT ALL. But since that is not ALL You were saying allow me to help you understand why what you are saying is actually not correct . If BW mechanical skills do not directly transfer, then there is no KeSPA advantage. So you must not be saying that. Instead, you are saying that somehow clicking an immortal and right clicking somewhere else (or even pressing a hotkey and right clicking somewhere else) is EXCLUSIVE to sc2. I don't think I need to say anything further there. hey I can play the excuse card too now, given that ppl play it almost every single time an eSF player loses
*Ahem* Best's uncle died very recently, and he even broke down crying after a Proleague game. Obviously, this is affecting him very badly and you can't judge his performance accurately because of the recent tragedy. If Best's uncle didn't die, he would've done much better!
My condolences to Best and may his uncle rest in peace but yea, I wouldn't really try to downplay MC's win by pulling that shit, and I would appreciate it if eSF players would do the same.

How in the blue hell do MKP and Mvp lose to people who've been playing the game for hardly anytime at all?
