EPTThey mostly practice against other eSF players and use them to prepare for GSL games, often cross-teams as well. They all came from eSF teams. Prior to the point a lot of them went to NA, there wasn't really much point in distinguishing them from other eSF players.

Don't think that's ever going to happen as long as they are the two large competitive bodies. You never see people not compare nationalities of players whenever there's a korean and a non-korean involved either. That crap is equally as obnoxious but people obviously consider that an okay thing to do. | ||

At the same time it's pretty amazing how the KeSPA players are sweeping the GSL hard. The next seasons will have a ratio of 80/20 KeSPA/eSF mix of players, i'd bet. Would it be good for KeSPA to just absorb eSF? They'd have to drop non-performing players though, probably only take those who've made it to Code S for next season. Tbh, i wouldn't mind it soo much if it wasn't for this obnoxious eSF vs KeSPA nonsense. Then it would simply be new players playing better advancing the game, same thing that has been going on for 2 and a half years. | ||

Prior to the point a lot of them went to NA, there wasn't really much point in distinguishing them from other eSF players. If talking about origin, then lots of current eSF players are from KeSPA teams 2 or 3 years ago. If talking abut current practice partners, then EG and TL are more close to KeSPA, they have very close relation with STX, and probably regularly practice with other KeSPA teams too. Then by that way, KeSPA probably has more players outside of WCS KR than eSF. You can't talk about these things based on origin or other criteria, technically dividing them is the only correct way. | ||

What was bad about that game? It was like a continuous battle with great intensity, tons of micro and diverse unit compositions. If that game, which IMO is 10x better than the most exciting broodlord infestor games is boring to you then you just hate the game. haha. you should get used to that sort of thing by now man. you know what i'm saying *wink wink* lol | ||

A good amount of people are just bitter about "eSF players aka former KeSPA dishwashers" jumping ship when SC2 was released for a chance to make easy money which was tough with the BW competitive scene (given the high skill of A-team KeSPA pros as we've all seen by now). But that's just human nature right, it isn't exactly ideal. | ||

Maybe it's just that effort/trap aren't too well known with ST/IM/Prime/Azubu crowd. | ||

It's just interesting to see that, after years of speculation, the kespa players in general are in fact doing better than the esf folks. | ||
