I don't think terrans can be aggressive off 2 bases on Bifrost. The narrow choke rules out a frontal assault so drop play will be expected by the Protoss. I think it will come down to trying to delay the third while getting the right comp to engage. | ||

You got this~ BByong is p good, not gonna lie, but hoping Stork can take this one. If Stork wins this, I have faith that Roro will be able to take it at least to an ace. Though in an ace match, not sure how we'd fare against Effort (probably not too hot). | ||

I think Huk and Idra are pretty much safe bets, i can't imagine either seeings too much play time with the current roster.. maybe just the occasional "we need to get our foreigner out there to appease fans"... but nothing serious. I'm undecided on a 3rd anti team though lol, needs to be big enough to balance the points to 12.. | ||

100% of GM terrans in NA will clear their main of probes between 4-5 minutes. It is an absolute in every game, takes nothing other than a few clicks to do. The terran not doing it is the terran playing badly. but games r fun to watch regardless | ||

GSTL lacks the intrigue because it takes place so late at night, and proleague is simply so many more matches before your favorite team gets knocked out.. | ||

All kill format in round 2 and round 5 (might be round 4 instead?) | ||

I feel like huk and idra both lack the motivation and work ethic to clinch the starting lineup, I think that thorzain has solidified the fact that he deserves a spot once every few games due to how hard he has bee working and how quickly he was ready to drop everything and go to korea. The koreans are also all doing well. And with stephano there too, its gonna be tough for idra and huk. I'm pretty sure they pick lineup based on inhouse tournaments or something ... | ||

So the players played here are the best Kespa players. In terms of skill, the range is quite big. There are some players who are Code S level, some Code A and some not very good. But this is the case for some eSF teams as well. | ||

The relative skill of pros varies even day to day, based on many things. thats obvious. But im curious as to why some of these guys are playing in televised matches if they arent very good. Im all for giving them a chance to get better and keeping them on the roster to work their way up to the team, but some of these guys I would bet you could grab people from bnet who would be more likely to get a win for your team. Maybe they all are really good and just look bad comparatively, thats why I was asking what the skill level of some of the players was because I have no point of reference. As I said, when I would play a progamer in BW, it was pretty obvious you were playing a pro just by the way they played, you could feel it because they were able to dictate the game and reacted much faster than most non korean players did. I haven't played any korean pros in SC2 (not that im very good at this game anyway) but I was wondering if it was kinda the same thing. The whole Kespa vs Esf thing makes me curious about the skill level of the average kespa player vs a guy who is on an esf team. Seems like the kespa guys can get by on reputation and potential so just because they are on a pro team doesnt mean they are very good. I would expect the opposite for esf teams since you basically had to earn your way on since the teams have been around for quite a while now. | ||

Yeah, I have to say that this is pretty fallacious. The reason why I say so is that Flash, JD, Fantasy can all compete at the highest level, but once you get to about 3 people down on the list, like Action, EffOrt, etc. they aren't code S level, maybe not even code A. They aren't even that far down on the list. The 30th best player for KeSPA is not as good as the 30th best player for eSF. IMO, once you get past maybe the top 15 or so, it really drops off. With time we might see a difference, but for right now I don't think we can argue that they are the same. | ||

That logic is so flawed. Yes, the top Kespa players can compete with the top eSF players. But right now, the 30th eSF player is much better than the 30th Kespa player. Yeah, I have to say that this is pretty fallacious. The reason why I say so is that Flash, JD, Fantasy can all compete at the highest level, but once you get to about 3 people down on the list, like Action, EffOrt, etc. they aren't code S level, maybe not even code A. They aren't even that far down on the list. The 30th best player for KeSPA is not as good as the 30th best player for eSF. IMO, once you get past maybe the top 15 or so, it really drops off. With time we might see a difference, but for right now I don't think we can argue that they are the same. I wouldn't even say those three are Consistent Code S level. JD would get smashed by any protoss with soul. Flash isn't as invincible as people make him out to be and neither is Fanta. | ||

As I said, when I would play a progamer in BW, it was pretty obvious you were playing a pro just by the way they played, you could feel it because they were able to dictate the game and reacted much faster than most non korean players did. I haven't played any korean pros in SC2 (not that im very good at this game anyway) but I was wondering if it was kinda the same thing. The whole Kespa vs Esf thing makes me curious about the skill level of the average kespa player vs a guy who is on an esf team. Seems like the kespa guys can get by on reputation and potential so just because they are on a pro team doesnt mean they are very good. I would expect the opposite for esf teams since you basically had to earn your way on since the teams have been around for quite a while now. Think this way. Good kespa players are on par with good esf players. Bad kespa players are on par with bad esf players. I think whats confusing you is that bad kespa players need to play in this format, while esf focus more on individual leagues. And team play is all-kill format. I dunno man... I feel like a lineup of YongHwa, Yoda, First, Losira, Happy would pretty much destroy any KeSPA team. And that's not even playing their three champions. And ST could probably just play their ZeNEX lineup and still smash face. It doesnt change my point :D I dont see a bad player in this ST lineup :D Well, it is because you are defining the player already with good and bad. It is like saying a good Korean is on par with a good foreigner and a bad Korean is on par with a bad foreigner. Which is true as well. But you just have a lot more 'good' Koreans compare to 'good' foreigners. The only way to compare would be to see how the 20th, 30th, 40th, 50th players from both sides stack up against each other. Right now, you have to give the advantage to eSF. But I think when HoTS comes out, we will see that gap close a lot more. | ||

If Startale was going to be a strong force in PL, They would need to play Bomber/Parting/Squirtle/Life/Curious/Hack lineup and occasionally exchange either parting, hack, or life to play a sniper (which would most likely be where suhosin would come in (or, less probable, one of the lesser zenex players).

The worst pros in BW who were only practice partners were still godly and would rape face vs just about anyone when you ran into them on iccup/pgt etc. They only looked bad by comparison to the top players. Some of these guys make mistakes that make you wonder how good they really are. Put it this way: GSL 2013 season 1 Code S Kespa players: Bogus, Soulkey, Roro, Baby Up and Down players: Flying, Trap. Flash, Jaedong, Fantasy, Bbyong, sOs I don't understand what you're trying to say...? I think he's saying that that is pretty good representation at the GSL level (highest esf). so obviously some Kespa guys are really competitive with the best GSL players. which means they are, in general, competitive as a whole against esf players, skill wise. That logic is so flawed. Yes, the top Kespa players can compete with the top eSF players. But right now, the 30th eSF player is much better than the 30th Kespa player. you're sure of that? Yes, if you look at results. There are 50 players in code S/Up and Downs. With 11 Kespa players and 30+ eSF players. Can the Kespa player take games off the eSF player? Sure. But so can the 30th rank foreigner. But overall, I would say the 30th eSF is the overall better player. "Taking games off" isn't indicative of anything. Combatex took a game off Parting in a Bo3. It's a poor standard to judge things by. Did you read my post at all? | ||

Good kespa players are on par with good esf players. Bad kespa players are on par with bad esf players. I think whats confusing you is that bad kespa players need to play in this format, while esf focus more on individual leagues. And team play is all-kill format. I dunno man... I feel like a lineup of YongHwa, Yoda, First, Losira, Happy would pretty much destroy any KeSPA team. And that's not even playing their three champions. And ST could probably just play their ZeNEX lineup and still smash face. It doesnt change my point :D I dont see a bad player in this ST lineup :D Well, it is because you are defining the player already with good and bad. It is like saying a good Korean is on par with a good foreigner and a bad Korean is on par with a bad foreigner. Which is true as well. But you just have a lot more 'good' Koreans compare to 'good' foreigners. The only way to compare would be to see how the 20th, 30th, 40th, 50th players from both sides stack up against each other. Right now, you have to give the advantage to eSF. But I think when HoTS comes out, we will see that gap close a lot more. Its fair. And thats my point about the original comment but with other point of view. Not about quantity but just quality. bad = bad, good = good But appart from ST, i dont see other esf team with a lineup with players on the same level. Even if its a better level than kespa teams, it still have a big difference between players in the same team. | ||

Almost all the Kespa pros went to the Code B qualifiers for 2 seasons... Better and much better depends on interpretation as does competitive. Are Korean better or much better than foreigners? | ||

It's hard to say because not that many kespa players have broken into gsl yet. that logic is also flawed in it's own way. less Kespa players have tried to go into GSL, and have had less time to establish themselves. I might agree that esf players are better in general, but I don't think by any significant amount. edit: hmm, it seems that I might have overstated that a bit (the bolded part of my post). though I wonder how many current Code S and Code A guys would be able to get through Code B.... again, not fair to compare the different situations. | ||

Given a high enough sampling size anybody with in reasonable range of skill level can take games over each other, it's the win rate that matters. We don't have a big sampling size with esf / Kespa so speculation isn't relevant. Even some random masters players can "take a game" off these guys, they didn't have perfect records going up to gm in ladder. I did read your post, it's just not a good example. Is Hero / Taeja top 30 esf? I would think so, they don't have perfect records. | ||

Terminator v Squirtle would be a pretty decent toss-up, with preparation ryul2 could come close against life or take out hack, and Speed could just pull a bravo and cheese.

Its not indicative of the best players obviously but it would be indicative of a general/minimum level. Now that I realize it is basically KESPA only teams this makes sense. I'm still curious as to the skill level of the lowest players. The worst pros in BW who were only practice partners were still godly and would rape face vs just about anyone when you ran into them on iccup/pgt etc. They only looked bad by comparison to the top players. Some of these guys make mistakes that make you wonder how good they really are. Put it this way: GSL 2013 season 1 Code S Kespa players: Bogus, Soulkey, Roro, Baby Up and Down players: Flying, Trap. Flash, Jaedong, Fantasy, Bbyong, sOs I don't understand what you're trying to say...? I think he's saying that that is pretty good representation at the GSL level (highest esf). so obviously some Kespa guys are really competitive with the best GSL players. which means they are, in general, competitive as a whole against esf players, skill wise. That logic is so flawed. Yes, the top Kespa players can compete with the top eSF players. But right now, the 30th eSF player is much better than the 30th Kespa player. you're sure of that? Yes, if you look at results. There are 50 players in code S/Up and Downs. With 11 Kespa players and 30+ eSF players. Can the Kespa player take games off the eSF player? Sure. But so can the 30th rank foreigner. But overall, I would say the 30th eSF is the overall better player. "Taking games off" isn't indicative of anything. Combatex took a game off Parting in a Bo3. It's a poor standard to judge things by. Did you read my post at all? Given a high enough sampling size anybody with in reasonable range of skill level can take games over each other, it's the win rate that matters. We don't have a big sampling size with esf / Kespa so speculation isn't relevant. Even some random masters players can "take a game" off these guys, they didn't have perfect records going up to gm in ladder. I did read your post, it's just not a good example. Is Hero / Taeja top 30 esf? I would think so, they don't have perfect records. That is why I said the 30th eSF is the better overall player... I just said the take games off example in case people came here and say that Dear beat HerO which shows the 30th Kespa player is better than 30th eSF. | ||

I haven't played any korean pros in SC2 (not that im very good at this game anyway) but I was wondering if it was kinda the same thing. The whole Kespa vs Esf thing makes me curious about the skill level of the average kespa player vs a guy who is on an esf team. Seems like the kespa guys can get by on reputation and potential so just because they are on a pro team doesnt mean they are very good. I would expect the opposite for esf teams since you basically had to earn your way on since the teams have been around for quite a while now. Think this way. Good kespa players are on par with good esf players. Bad kespa players are on par with bad esf players. I think whats confusing you is that bad kespa players need to play in this format, while esf focus more on individual leagues. And team play is all-kill format. I dunno man... I feel like a lineup of YongHwa, Yoda, First, Losira, Happy would pretty much destroy any KeSPA team. And that's not even playing their three champions. And ST could probably just play their ZeNEX lineup and still smash face. It doesnt change my point :D I dont see a bad player in this ST lineup :D lists 5 Code S level players from ST then says T8 would beat them Wat? In PL format, ofc. Assuming we take it by current player status, as long as baby got matched up against parting/curious and Jaehoon avoided bomber, Ryul2, speed, or terminator could take a game off of whoever is left. Terminator v Squirtle would be a pretty decent toss-up, with preparation ryul2 could come close against life or take out hack, and Speed could just pull a bravo and cheese. And alone could sixpool for the hell of it ^^ You're grasping at straws homie. | ||

Before those few months no one even knew who he was. With Kespa it's the same deal, Hero[join] was a b-teamer and completely uninspired, who knows whom out of the people on the rosters are actually top 30, they might not even get play time just because of planning. | ||

I just said the take games off example in case people came here and say that Dear beat HerO which shows the 30th Kespa player is better than 30th eSF. That's not actually provable though, I remember watching life play in non gsl / prelims and thinking this guy might make it big one day then boom GSL champion and best zerg in the world. Before those few months no one even knew who he was. With Kespa it's the same deal, Hero[join] was a b-teamer and completely uninspired, who knows whom out of the people on the rosters are actually top 30, they might not even get play time just because of planning. Is anything provable? Players can play head to head and you can still argue the player that lost was actually 'better'. Since there are 7 Kespa teams, ranking 30th would mean they are the 4th-5th ranked player on you team. It is likely they would be played in most matches. | ||

Terran can win, you just have to micro well and have the perfect army composition. Miss some emp's and your opponent gets to land 1-2 storms and a ~30 Supply and/or ~2000 resource advantage becomes meaningless. Reality missed his emps, so despite having an advantage and winning battles pretty decisively earlier he lost the game. | ||

IMO Stephano will lose in the Ro32 so he'll have time on his hands, but should he make a run, he'll still probably play in every match | ||

Jangbi had zealots in his base long before that, because he already warped 2 rounds of zealots at home to defend at that point. He should've kept warping at base instead of a round of stalkers on the warp prism. Think the attack went really well and herO got overeager and tried to end the game. Should've warped stalkers at home, micro them against zealots. And have his main army blink out of Jangbi's base and head home too, which he ends up doing anyway but a bit too late. He was up 30 probes to 10 at that point and could've easily won from there. | ||
