To crush the ESF players and show that Kespa players are superior?

Kespa players don't give a shit about politics, they just want to play the game. But those players have contracts with Kespa, they can't do whatever they want...
Are you saying Kespa tells them to lose? holy shit LOL
It would be even better for Kespa if their players dominate GSL, it would mean that they have the best players and everyone would want to watch Proleague instead of GSTL. Since the OSL is gone for a while they don't have " their own " individual league to play in.

Does anyone know where GOM typically posts the maps? I'd like to go ahead and make the template for the wild card group but I don't know what the maps are

Nothing wrong with preferring one over the other as long as you're not being a negative nancy about it like he is. To be fair. The OP was kinda of negative about GSL and trying to make excuses with Kespa players not caring. I know and i didn't agree with the OP either but it's just that i can't stand people discrediting SPL performances because they aren't played by people they know and is not played on the same old tired mappool we've been seeing for the last year and a half. It's completely nonsensical. In my eyes SPL performance and Up and down performances are equally indicative of a players skill.
I wasn't talking about Up/Downs. I don't think Up/Downs really indicate skill at all.

Yeah most people prefered MSL's format as far as i know, they felt the OSL format was much more random even though it was the more prestigious tournament.

The shits that supposed to mean? The ONE SC2 OSL that we've had with a shitty sampling size and players struggling with a hybrid format? Or the multiple BW OSL's that we've had? You can shove it back up your ass if you dare insult BW OSL.

Are you saying that Kespa is telling the players to lose in GSL? How does that make sense? It only makes the PL lose 'star' value when some of your best players are losing in U&D. Look, I think everyone gets that Kespa players care about PL more than GSL. But to say they don't give a shit about GSL is just wrong. I am sure the players are trying their best to win.
It is like EG-TL, they will focus on foreign events and some streaming besides practicing for PL. It doesn't mean they don't care about PL.

We don't. Many of us hate Kespa.
Kespa players on the other hand is a completely different story -_- I'm a " BW " fan and the people who say shit like " kespa players don't try in GSL " is just complete bullshit, of course they are trying. They're just not preparing enough or are not good enough. Those who try hard CAN succeed as shown by Rain and Bogus making the ro4 in the previous two seasons.
You assume "trying" and "preparing" to be different entities?
But yes, of course they do, it is just they play like shit, but on the whole, I agree, they try.

He is just making shit up to argue that Fantasy didnt try hard enough to get into code s because its the enemy league (lol wtf haha), not because he played bad. Kespa players have openly stated that more individual leagues is better for them as well and he seems to be ignoring that.

Because they are fucking competitors lol?
Because they were supposed to be better at BW than the eSF players, and now that both are on sc2 they are supposed to beat them? Like koreans were supposed to be better than foreigners so when the first koreans participated in overseas tourneys they had the incentive to do well, because ffs they were koreans competing against foreigners?
He forfeited his seed because of MLG yeah, but remember that KesPA is in contract with MLG. And forfeiting the GSL only to lose and finish like 10th place (maybe higher I don't remember but it wasn't top 4) doesn't make you look good.
I am pretty sure they take GSL seriously.

i say this prioritization theory is bullshit, every player will try their hardest to play their best at whatever event, pride means more than it looks, also, bo1 is terrible but acceptable as OSL is aired on TV
|
THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT HOW I EXPECTED THIS GROUP TO GO LOL
WHAT THE HUK???
|
NesTea and HuK. It was a good day.
I would have liked finale getting the wildcard spot, but you can't get everything you ask for, huh?
|
so statistically protoss is the most underpowered race of all time right now, TT. hopefully our protoss heros can do some work in the ro32
|
if any zerg advances tomorrow, it will be the first time that terran is not the race with most players in code S ever.
|
One thing is for shure, this Code S season will be absolutely amazing.

And this is only Code A qualifiers for code S, and not Code S itself. You are speaking about bo1's being a terrible format, but defending another horrible Bo1 system which produced really shitty games overall. You are biased, and that's ok man, but don't expect people to agree with you or not pick into your negative and biased feedback.
Edit - I hate Huk more now than ever. My precious liquidbets....

Yea, but time allocation matters. A player has priorities. Trying the hardest while using 10% of your time vs using 90% of your time is a big fucking difference. No one is throwing games, but it's obvious when someone isn't spending enough time preparing for something. BW quality in hybrid proleague fell down to shit because players allocated the vast majority of time to SC2, if you don't have enough time then your training regiment and the type of play you are likely to do is vastly different. Has nothing to do with "trying hard enough" or "intentionally throwing a match". This isn't a conspiracy theory.
