Did you see China builds skyscrapers because of government just creating jobs for people, middle class Chinese buy homes just for investment you have empty cities and 20 million homeless. Also nobody lives in a place almost as developed as Manhattan. Random thought I know but my point is Asians are crazy, notice how in the videos almost none have girlfriends none have time. We always wonder why they are so awkward on stage how many even have social time with humans? I hope this isn't coming off as player bashing I am just saying nobody could ever match Korean work ethics. Their culture is intense which is why they develop such phenomenal talent. As Iron sharpens Iron. You realize this is because they're computer nerds right? | ||

Well if we're playing this game, So far there will be 7 Kespa players in Code S next season(counting Parting) out of 21 players. That means there is 14 esF players. Also, even if all kespa players get through the up and downs, there can only be 7 more of them to advance making it to 14 Kespa players and 1 more esF player. Making it 15-14 for esF and that's the best case scenario for Kespa players Using your logic, and seeing how GSL Code S is the hardest tournament, esF player must be better players! -_- | ||

It is not the game's fault, it is the fault of determination I agree to some extent. But sometimes a new challenge can help a lot in bringing changes. | ||

As Iron sharpens Iron. Alot of them have girlfriends... They have been playing RTS at the highest competetive level longer than any of the EGTL players. They should dominate. The headstart is gone and now experience plays a role. Kespa teams are more: Experienced Prepared Mechanically superior Better synergized teamwise But there is ''shame'' in it, these teams have been here for so many years. Like artosis point: I seriously believe most of the losses are just due to EGTL streaming and playing in other tournaments, which gives kespa material to prepare for them. Look at the recent rounds, it isn't that they lose, it is that they lose so QUICKLY. They get straight up countered | ||

I fucked it up because I'm so used to EG-TL only having 4 games per match, that when Stephano wins one I still assume they only have 3 more left to lose! hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa....that's not funny ;( | ||

Yes, 5 > 3 (this counts Parting, but whatever), but what does that have to do with anything? My post was simply remarking on KeSPA players showcasing success in GSL. Since you might fail in comprehending things (you added a snide comment regarding math, FYI I deal with math a lot since I'm a math major, only fair I point out your ignorance), I'll break it down for you: KeSPA players are behind in years of experience for SC2 KeSPA players are already breaking into GSL and further (4-5 KeSPA players were in Code S this season, 8-9 are in the up-and-down). Hero is in the Up-and-down this season, he made Round 8 of GSL last time he was Code S, guess who beat him? Rain 3-0. TaeJa and HerO, despite being highly rated in GSL have not been performing well in Proleague (you can also include JYP/Revival). Point being: KeSPA players were typically composed of players who > ESF players back in BW. They have better resources. They have the experience. They have the motivation/dedication to train. I'm certain they can play against loaded teams like ST, FXO, MVP, etc. equally. | ||

You knowing vector calculus has nothing to do with anything. The rest of it I don't particularly care about. Since you are a math major, you should realize the math points to eSF in the GSL regardless of your excuses for their current minority status. Though Roro beating Symbol would change that because #1 is better than #2. As for what 5 > 3 has to do with anything, 5 is greater than 3 and you said Kespa > eSF, yet since that 5 belongs to the eSF players one would imagine that that actually makes eSF > Kespa. But since we can't truly consider Taeja, Mc, or Parting eSF players then 3 > 2. Though maybe we could consider Parting and Mc both half-eSF so it's 3 = 3. In which case we do not use a greater than or less than sign. | ||

Every EG-TL loss is no surprise to me, on the contrary. It needs more than Stephano and TaeJa to carry. HerO is no more on top of his game, and the rest of the roster feels like a solid MLG group stage, not like a ProLeague roster. EG-TL really has to change some players or leave the competition. Sorry. JYP has one of the best records in Proleague out of EG-TL's roster. Besides, where are these mystery players going to come from? It's not like EG-TL will rapidly improve by deploying Idra, Demuslim, Sheth and TLO, will it? It's not like either team will sign Polt since he's not going back to Korea for a while, either. Short of some massive player deals happening I don't see either roster changing significantly for a while. Best we can hope for is fortunes changing with HotS. | ||
