Guys can we stop arguing who's the best Kespa player and accept the fact that Shine is fucking amazing?

No, just no.

the real elephant in the room is that no one remembers what the article said they just want to reference it whenever kespa wins.

The point is that people who don´t agree with the elephant theory, always divert what was wrote.

This knowledge cheapens any form of competition I see right now, no matter how much I try to enjoy the games.




To be fair Life was heralded as "the best player in the world" and he's been stomped out by Kespa players in the last 3 GSLs. He's probably not even top 10 in the world if you include Kespa.

Innovation made him look like a diamond player


Lol so what? Innovation got stomped in PL yesterday by someone he had no business losing to. And if Innovation made Parting look like a diamond player, then what does that make Flash, who Parting 2-0'd?

just for the sake of truth I reply to you: it's not the score that does make you look like a diamond, not even the result (as you can always lose in a close fight like losira did yesterday), but the way game goes and in that sense bogus really outclassed life which is being referred as "made him look like a diamond".

KEspa domination continues......

That's a convenient way out because there's no analysis or objectivity here. It's just "Oh, I felt like he made Life look like a diamond player because of the way the game went". Innovation played like crap against Turn, and given that, I could easily claim that Turn made Innovation look like a diamond player and you'd have no concrete way of disproving me because it's just an opinion. What IS objective is the score and the result.

PartinG nooooooo


Atleast SoS made it through, so there's a chance of a Protoss winning. I'm rooting for Bomber from here on out though. I don't give 2 shits if people think he's the weakest player on that half of the bracket.

Isn't there a thread now for people to argue on Kespa vs ESF? lol

Anyway I miss interviews, they made the players come to life for me :'( I really wanted to hear soulkey's thoughts after that 4th game, as well as SoS before round 5.
If we fear what we do not understand, then why is ignorance bliss?

What's also objective is how close the matches were. You clearly don't want to have a rational discussion considering all the factors and instead just want to mindlessly push your "Kespa stomping everyone" agenda even though I find it hilarious that one can use the word "stomp" in light of such close series.

Maybe eSF vs Kespa is the new caster bashing / balance whine to be moderated preemptively. Would sure be a nice signal, but I doubt it will happen. I guess some kind of comparing dicks of other people is bound to happen, so why not this way.

Progression went something like Balance whine -> Caster bashing -> Balance whine -> foreigners suck -> balance whine -> HuK's not a foreigner anymore -> balance whine -> foreigners suck again except all these counter examples because GSL -> balance whine & caster bashing -> ForGG the elephant -> balance whine -> Rain the elephant -> balance whine -> kespa vs esf -> HotS balance whine -> HotS "the reset" kespa vs esf

I feel the above is a historical depiction of LR threads for starcraft 2.

We'll move on when there's new balance to whine about.

So if I understand this correctly, the current esf vs kespa "discussion" is because David Kim refuses to fix the bunker.

KeSPA vs eSF is pretty entertaining storyline. Of course it won't be if KeSPA will start lol-stomping eSF players but I guess that's not happening anytime soon, even if KeSPA people are a bit ahead ATM.

Just watched Game 4 of Soulkey vs Parting. Is it just me or did Soulkey completely throw that game away by not attacking when he was maxed? He let Parting catch up... Got a bad unit composition, and just lost.
