Guys he is saying the LAST 16 games. If you count that stephano win it is 1-16 in the last 4 matches... still 16 game loss in a row because Stephano won the first map of the first of these 4 matches.
EDIT: 1-16

I think that is an interesting point, you see foreigner Koreans decline because not by any curse but because their training is so much less restrictive and strenuous. It must feel like an Amish at Rumspring in comparison especially poolside at the EG house in sunny AZ.

Asia is a weird place. 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.

Oh wait, 5 > 3. Dat math. Finals 1 = 1. more math.

The only "esF" code S player that we've seen in Proleague is Taeja. Hero is not code S now.

again, for how long would it change things? several rounds, same situation was in WoL, after all other PL teams catch up it shall be just another disappointment.
It is not the game's fault, it is the fault of determination

That's exactly what I just said.

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! -_-

Yes, 5 > 3, 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.

I still don't get the point of having players like Zenio, JYP or Puma within one of the hardest teamleague competitions when they don't even have any good foreign results lately (2012 to now). 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.

Do you watch this game? Including Proleague? Fantasy has done terribly in sc2.

He might have had a rough time but fantasy is just way more skilled than Taeja.
