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).

Originally the GSL bracket was established with primarily ESF players (a few seeds for KeSPA/foreigners). You expect every KeSPA player to jump in right away? Despite the fact that they have to play through preliminaries (and potentially knock one another out), as well as in the main tournament play against one another? 12 out of 23 of the players who qualified for Code A this season were from KeSPA. 19 out of the players in Code A (not including any of the players in Code S who dropped down) were from KeSPA (20 including BaBy). Out of those 20, 3 move on directly to Code S, while 10 are in the up-and-down (4 in one group unfortunately). ...and this was the 3rd season of KeSPa participating, out of 14-16 total seasons? You sure showed me, an ESF established league having "1" more player in the Round of 8 indicates it's superiority, despite KeSPA players only having 4 players in Code S this season (vs 28 non-KeSPA).
you don't understand anything if you think these kinds of statistics mean anything.
skill of players goes much further than who won on what day.
statistics dont factor in luck or other situational things that happen.
plus kespa players started playing when the game was for the most part figured out - it's much easier to learn something that everyone else has figured out already rather than learn a game that was frequently patched, or a game where the metagame shifts in extreme ways.
you're making it seem like these kespa players came in with god tier mechanics and invented some crazy strategies that no one has ever used and obliterated top esf players with them, when the fact is that the kespa players were able to watch vods or tournaments to learn everything from esf players for the most part.
also your original point simply said kespa teams > esf teams.
wouldn't 5 esf players vs 3 kespa players in the ro8 simply mean esf > kespa right now? even if by a bit? the time they have practiced is not relevant.

Why don't you just admit you are bias towards KESPA and call it a day.
Anyone can see looking at the GSL that KESPA aren't any better by simply looking at amount of Code S player they have and how terrible they have been at moving up into Code S, notably the up and downs.
PL provides little to the conversation since 99% of the players are KESPA. You should know the insignificance of that data since its math and all.

14 pages for EGTL match, once there were ~30, still more than any other PL team gets

Fuck yeah Fantasy. Felt like it was me giving him that hug.

At the begining: man Eg-TL needs to stop sending foreigners cmon they need to go full korean
EG-TL sends korean line up: Cmon man stop sending Puma and JYP they just suck balls, we need Stephano
Stephano arrives: man if only we had Taeja, Stephano, Hero, Taeja, Revival, Jaedong would be unstoppable
EG-TL gets 4-0'ed again: ouch man these KESPA guys are playing with this format for ages it is not fair
This is just embarrassing

i dont get people saying that EGTL players (some) have different priorities. most of them are not in code S, some are stuck in code a hell, some of them not even in the GSL. what else could they be doing, practising for the internal minesweeper tournament?
|
oh wow, 0 maps won. Cant wait to see what happens in HotS edition, Kespa teams do not have deficit of experience there.

T_T I hope things will be better with Hots... I think players need to stop streaming too, it seems like other teams are always watching.

You took four strawmen, merged them into an abominable straw-frankenstein, and destroyed it! Congratulations, you gain +1 internet discourse.

Only Stephano, TaeJa and JYP are pulling their weight. Expected more from Jaedong tbf.
HerO, possibly the most overrated player ever? Expected more from Revival as well, ever since he beat the trio from FXO to win the Evil Geniuses a team league match (Tear, Leenock, Gumiho).

wow TaeJa lost to FanTaSy? ouch Yes? The opposit would have been an upset. 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. In BW, yes. In SC2, not even close :D Yeah, that's why Taeja lost to 8-game losing streak Fantasy. Skill just doesn't count in SC2, right? What? :D He lost one BO1, and just the other day played in the RO4 in the strongest tournament on the planet, also infested with Zerg who are destroying Terran. That alone trumps anything Fantasy has done in SC2 (that being nothing), so there's no point in listing like a page of his other achievemtns. So Fantasy is "just way more skilled than Taeja" because he beat him in a BO1? HA HA, that's funny as hell :D. And I'm not even a Taeja fan, but this is some seriously next level logic right there :D What are you talking about, I was acknowledging Taeja is far more skilled than Fantasy, problem is skill just doesn't count. yea, skill doesn't count when one player loses but it's also everything when that same player wins, right? rofl, this is Fantasy son, maybe sc2 isn't his game just yet, but he certainly has more skill than any Esf/foreigner.
You are being trolled, son.

I think Jaedong's skill will increase with HoTS as the builds favour him much more now. Roach hydra is much more micro intensive, especially against Storm and I think Jaedong is going to be the first player to actually bother to dodge storms (I still can't believe Idra yesterday).
Either way I'm just super happy that SKT and especially my main man Fantasy won <3

This is kind of sad in a cruel, unsentimental kind of way.

Well, HerO didn't even get to play today :D
Unless you're talking about his general performance.
