Both streams are free in SD, you can figure it out ~_~ |
Went to bed as Nani 1-0 Flash in the first series, damn shame he didn't manage to beat him in the extended series 
And now he's up against soO/Rain......-_________________________-

According to this logic, none should ever have to catch up to Boxer and Garimto skills in BW. According to that logic (disregarding words like "raped/sick") Flash managed to be at the same level as Naniwa is or a little above in only 6 months. You got to give Flash some credits. To be honest I wasn't expecting Kespa players to bounce back after switching to sc2 so quickly. Hope now it makes sense.
Considering that Flash already had the mechanics and Kespa players only had to catch up to the current meta game where a lot of things had already be 'figured' out. 6 months playing that much every day is a pretty decent amount of time. I think most eSF pros said it would take about 6 months for Kespa to catch up (maybe slightly longer since Kespa still had hybrid league). So I don't really think it is all that a huge shock that the top Kespa pros are already on par with eSF players. Obviously, it is still impressive to see.
Like someone said, it would be like saying Flash 'caught up' to Boxer when Boxer had been playing Broodwar since Flash was like 6-7 years old. The skill/time ratio is not linear and it begins to plateau.

Are there no VODS? Payed for the stream but have not been able to watch much...
|
So Naniwa faced Flash twice already and might go up against Rain next. Good luck with that. Can I watch the extended series anywhere?

Yeah exactly, it's really massively overstated, although their play level is impressive.
1. Kespa pros have all the replays and VoDs they could want to use in their efforts to figure the game out.
2. The game has been figured out to its current level by ESF pros and is immeasurably different from when they started playing.
The first god knows how long consisted of 4 gate being viable in all matchups, hatch first builds were much riskier than they are now, the 1/1/1 has come and gone, etc etc etc

So when we will see a MLG Korea? The majority of the players are koreans anyway, it would be cheaper to fly those 3-4 foreigners to seoul. Well Naniwa is there anyways, so you probably don't have to fly in anybody at all.
Live events are about audience as well. It is the reason why we have sports tournaments all over the world even though some region/countries might dominate it.

On point 2, you don't think the kespa pros could be at an even more impressive level had they made the switch when sc2 was still in its infantile stage?

Quite possibly I don't think people dispute just how good the Kespa pros are at RTS games, that said for every Flash or Rain there's a Bisu or Jaedong who haven't looked so hot thus far. It'll be interesting to see how things progress

No. What it is saying is that eventhough Naniwa has been playing for 2 plus years, it doesn't take 2 years to 'catch up' since Kespa players already had the mechanical skill. Of course, if Kespa pros had switched when the game was 6 months old, they would have caught up, faster. You have examples like Mvp, etc.
Let say Kespa pro had to play in a 'vacuum', where they had no access to VoDs or other resources and only played amongst themselves. Then it would take a lot longer to 'catch up'. Although it still would be less than 2 years since their mechanical skill were already superior.

lols he already got atked multiple times for that statement and apologized for his wrong info. With how fast with LR threads move, if you say one really dumb thing you will get 10 people quoting you all thinking they are the first to do so.
