I pointed this out after the MLG results (Leenock Life murdering Kespa) and was told I'm an idiot who doesn't know how to read lol.... Kespa is certainly showing some great players (Hyvaa, SoO, Rain, Flash, etc.) but the elephant article is proven to be a total joke now. | ||

Pretty much, and since a lot of those players were already playing SC2 when that thread dropped, clearly they weren't counted. | ||

Dude I love me some Kespa players too (not as much as federation teams/players, but I'm willing to give it time)... my problem is the sheer ignorance from people when despite some decent results a few months ago (when ESF had zero games to study and were in a bad place psychologically) their arguments have been entirely refuted. I'll tell you the one scene I'm fully invested into: the SC2 scene. I could care less who dominates, just want to see some good SC2. | ||

 Mvp v  Creator0 - 0 Maps:  Bel&TBD TBD 05.00 Mvp spawning as the blue Terran in the 11 o'clock position. Creator spawning as the red Protoss in the 5 o'clock position.

Assimilator coming in from Creator. Cybernetics Core from Creator, not skipping Zealot. 1rax expand from Mvp, getting CC in his main. Warpgate tech started by Creator. Nexus goes down on the natural of Creator. Bunker on the natural for Mvp as he starts third CC. Two gates added on for Creator. Scouting Zealot scared away by Marines. Second Gas taken by Creator. 2 Barracks added on for Mvp. | ||

Well, in that case, just be like the quiet ones and ignore the article, and look at the SC2 scene as one and not as Kespa vs esf. Not really hard to do that. | ||
