the whole kespa vs. esf war kinda becomes moot when players who are 15 to 17 like Life, Creator and Leenock are going to be the ones who beat up everyone. It's still relevant because of the different practice environment. Not the same sensationalist war of gods vs dishwashers, but interesting nevertheless. that's a line of thought I've entertained semi-seriously since SC2 started... Back in the BW days, foreigner sucked, Koreans were good, and we just looked at all the correlations and jumped to find cause-effect. It was too easy and convenient to believe that the team houses were what made players good. While I don't doubt that there's a great motivational effect of the team house on players who need that kind of boost, I think SC2 and examples of players playing from home not only being very good (Ryung, SuperNoVa, HerO), but winning championships as well (PuMa, TaeJa, Mvp, Nestea, MC, Stephano, Nerchio, etc.) show us that not everyone needs a team house to reach their peak. In short, you can see evidence for the idea that players who are sufficiently motivated/talented will reach their potential without the help of a team house. Anyway who knows, it's too early into the KeSPA switch to know for sure, but it's something to think about.
Even just comparing Kespa team house vs ESF team house you have a lot of differences. Kespa teams sticking to a stricter practice schedule, having race-specific coaches, practicing mainly through customs instead of ladder (not true right now, but you can expect them to switch back once they get more comfortable with Sc2). It'll be interesting to see whether Idra's opinion of 'foreigners practice too little, Kespa teams too much' proves true, as the ESF teams represent his golden middle.

I had prepared something nice for my 3k, but I used it to post polls instead. 
Will get around to that later.

So all Korean have the same anniversary?

Leenock should have had that, fucked it up with awful macro It wasn't bad macro, he was banking to make 'good' units, then had to dump all his larva into zergling/bane/infestor to try and hold off the timing Keen hit. He fucked up by not making an ultralisk cavern at the same time as his greater spire, not by missing injects/bad macro lol On November 07 2012 20:00 Waxangel wrote:
it's more leenock being bad than keen being good ...and that's just wrong ^_^ you did see the part where he only made 2 BLs at once?
...because his 2? other corruptors weren't in position to morph and he wanted to dump his $ into something that let him retake some map control, because the fourth he still had is impossible to hold without mutaling on the map. He needed the 'front' fourth, so he tried to make units, but he didn't have ultralisk tech, so he could only make shitty units.
Note: even if he dumped his entire bank into broodlords, he had 3? infestors on the map, and 2 mining bases. That means he dies as hard as Nestea did to MVP back at blizzcon a million years ago.
