It can be at 4AM but usually its 8AM and the second match 10:30AM. But yea, happens to be early sometimes

Rank 13 in SPL brah, won MvP invitational, and trashed MVP last GSL, albeit in wings. Still, if you followed his play you'd know Soo is playing much better than the struggling MKP. Also, last season Curious lost a ZvZ to a guy who got 4-0'd by Snute, and he doesn't have a single accomplishment in the past 2 years. so should be cakewalk for Soo. Told ya :D Good prediction based on sound knowledge. He didn't play MKP but if he did I imagine he would've done even better than Curious did.
That's what it's all about.

It's not about the superiority of the players, it's about the attitude of people like you who appear to somehow feel like you're a part of KesPA and thus superior to eSF fans. Hint: you're not.

KeSPA fans couldn't stand that these players were freeloading in SC2 while their heroes were stuck playing BW and had to go through a long and tough transition period. Now that that's over and KeSPA is here to stay for good, the old school fans are seeking a sense of vindication. This will last until tournaments are dominantly represented by KeSPA (which includes KeSPA picking up straggling eSF pros).  Seriously? I don't know what to call the situation where losers bully around the neighborhood when the real gang leaders aren't around. Go back to the terrible BW forums and stay there. We don't need your pathetic sense of superiority here. the BW forums is pretty nice.
you need to chill out good sir.

I can't even begin to wrap my mind around hating ESF players that mostly practice just as much as Kespa players simply because they rose to fame in a different game.
But hey, it's your opinion.

kespa dominating? LOOOL 4/15 players that qualified for Day 1 of Challenger tier were Kespa, surely if kespa were dominating, it would be morel ike 9+ What we saw today was a MKP got dominated by a zerg and a protoss, nothing else. This group was very weak overall and HotS is still a new game. Lets wait a few months before shouting bloody mary about who is dominating etc.

Yeah like i said i'm barely able to catch it . Unless it's around GSL times and even then the casting is really subpar . Biggest reason i didn't watch was back when it was WoL because i wasn't watching any WoL tournaments anymore. Might catch it @ GSL times in the future though probably muted.

well said. People can cheer or boo for who they want, for whatever reason they want. That's the beauty of real sports and a stepping stone esports will have to overcome.

I'll all with Shellshock on this, we really shouldn't care for Kespa vs ESF. They're not players, and they're not even teams. It's really meaningless... Except to try to stir shit on forums, I guess.
That's like if you rooted for people sponsored by Nike and trashtalked people sponsored by Adidas in real sports. Who the fuck cares.

Not to mention some of the better eSF players are pretty young and started off with SC2 , never even tried to get in Kespa teams and didn't even play that much BW. But hey lets hate them anyway for no reason ^^ .

SC2 players are fragile 15-24 year olds who rarely finish HS or go to college. This is different from other professional sports with players in their early to late 20s and 30s, who have experienced the animosity you describe in school and in their sports. Asians also have a different culture. Boo/hate/shit on anyone from Life to JangBi to Flash to Mvp and I bet all my esports dollars it would break them mentally. It might be fun for you but I am certain none of these players want you to hate on their rivals.
I can understand hating on other fans (KT vs SKT fans is always hilarious, and I hate those dirty dirty Startale fans), but shitting on players just because they play for a certain organization that they had little choice in forming is silly.
Respect the players.
No need to respect their fans.

Kespa players doing not too shabby, in the qualifiers too.

Basically this.
Just because there are some new unstoppable players winning tournaments that ppl start proclaiming them gods. Like MC who has many titles (boss toss,suicide toss....) actually was a unknown noob in BW (no offense) and they don't know anything about the true gods of SC....TBLS...etc....
I'm sure almost BW's fans (if not all) have this in mind. That includes me as well, but I'm not as extreme as the others. I don't want to argue or cause war between two groups. I just keep silence and look forward to the future. Time will tell ESF's fan that their heroes are not that great just because they started playing SCII sooner than the others and now Kespa's players are coming to take the throne back.

The fuck. There's no "Team Kespa" and "Team ESF". If you want to support a team, then support an actual team, not a side in some made up conflict between two associations based on politics. Kespa has existed for like a decade so far, and I don't think I've ever seen anybody on TL calling himself a "Kespa fan" until last year.
If you want to talk about how superior SKT is, I'm sure nobody will have a problem with it. Well, SKT is obviously superior, so that makes sense. But I guess you could also talk about how superior KT is, and nobody will have a problem with it. They'll just see you as slightly misguided.

He played really bad. He hasn't played like the MKP that made him so popular for so long. It's not even his opponents became so much better . He just lost his touch, somehow.
