Stop arguing about what is or isn't killing tournaments. |

I think the Duran brothers only play full-time during the summer (can someone confirm?). School and whatnot. :/ Currently yes, but Lucifron will go full-time after this semester I think.
well depending on what you study, how good you're at it the commitment varies a lot. The best banshee control into huge deficit for Luci.

No, I have lags now as well, was fine until about 15 min ago, though.

Compare the player base. i dont know anything about the lol player base, would you mind comparing it for me? because i dont know what your point is.
Lol being a casual, free to play moba has a *much* bigger player base than a hard, competitive, relatively expensive RTS that SC2 is. There are, what, 35kk lol accounts? Let's assume there are 10 million people playing the game actively. That's easily 5x as much as SC2, and yet their stream numbers are only twice as big, at best. SC2 community is more engaged, passionate and, relatively to the player base, more active in terms of tournament following. I wish all the best to both the communities. What's important is that e-sports as a whole is growing

it's really good against banshees opening, if Luci doesn't do a lot of marine/hellion/medivac build it's quite safe. Dunno if Kas knows it or plays blindly tho.

Marines can't do shit until they have combat shields

He's studying computer sciences, my guess is that you better have a strong commitment.

Lucifron's player camera makes me think of the thor driver.

Well played by Kas. That drop is practically game at this point.
|
Yop yop Kas macro always delivers !
