90% voting for Innovation is pretty crazy, I think he wins but not that favoured.

Have taken some time off of watching GSL. Glad to catch these finals.

2 BW players left.... Has the elephant finally come to pass?


haha you came to the wrong place my friend. Any talk like this gets called "baiting" and facts get thrown out the window.

I don't think you understood the elephant in the room article.


I think I understood it. I never took it literally (like KeSPA would dominate anything within a week of switching), but I think it just wanted to bring up the point or the, "elephant in the room", that even though we all claimed that Mvp was the best player in the world, and that the current SC2 players were world class, that there was so much talent that hadn't made the switch yet that making such claims was meaningless.


Was Babe Ruth the best baseball player of his time? Who knows? Latinos, Blacks, and Asians weren't playing in the league and the sport wasn't as popular and accepted as it is today. Athletes made very little money and there wasn't a big competition to become a pro baseball player.

So sure, we can say Flash is the best Korean player, but can we say he's the best in the world? How many neurosurgeons, lawyers, scientists, or engineers have the skillset to be the best at the moment, but never even heard of Starcraft? The Korean scene is developed enough that you get a very high talent pool-- How many koreans do you hear say they would be lawyers or doctors if they weren't gaming. Compare that to the foreign scene where pro gaming isn't even known to exist to the majority of people, and your average foreign progamer was just a typical nerd in high school who happened to fall into pro gaming.

Just as it was pointless to call someone the "best korean" SC2 player before KeSPA made it's switch, it's pointless to call anyone the best player in the world. SC2 isn't developed like Basketball, in which case saying Lebron James is the best player in the world is established and proven. If the talent pool is small being the best means nothing.

reasonable interpretation, but by that reasoning it's still fair to say that there is no "best korean" SC2 player now, and we'll never be able to crown one unless every korean starts playing SC2 full-time

I think there is enough incentive and competition within the Korean scene that you can make the claim that Flash is the best, though it's obviously not as cut and dry as Lebron James to basketball.

but even flash being the best at sc2 is contentious, a significant amount of people would say bogus is better, for example. i don't think esports (especially sc2) is nearly big enough in korea to say so. as you said, what about all the lawyers, doctors, and LoL players etc? and what about the untapped chinese scene? they are also known for being very good and hard working, but sc2 is not a thing there unfortunately


If Chinese SC2 players had the same level of practicing and no bull shit technical problems (latency, visa, traveling, etc) I'm sure they would be just as good at SC2 as they are at games where they don't have those issues such as WC3 or Dota.

You are reading the statistic incorrectly. The question is "Who will win?" or "Who has more than 50% winchance?". It just shows, that 90% of TLmembers think, that Inno has more than 50% winchance, NOT that he has a winchance of 90%.

I don't think you understood the elephant in the room article.

I never understood the elephant in the room thing although I know the ideal/concept behind it.
Why is it called "the elephant in the room"?
Why an elephant? Why not something like a whale or a tiger or orangutan or something.


"Elephant in the room" is an English metaphorical idiom for an obvious truth that is either being ignored or going unaddressed. The idiomatic expression also applies to an obvious problem or risk no one wants to discuss.[2]

It is based on the idea that an elephant in a room would be impossible to overlook; thus, people in the room who pretend the elephant is not there have chosen to avoid dealing with the looming big issue.

Omg so psyched. Innovation 4-1. Soulkey gets one game since he's good at preparing. But mostly Innovation just goes laddermode tbh:

1. Make CC
2. Make Barracks
3. Set rally towards zerg
4. Wait for gg

This two hour wait period feels like an eternity.
I wonder how the players are feeling right now.
Wonder if they'll make a boss appearance like when Flash flew in from a plane in the Korean Air OSL.

Whenever I have a big game I always find taking a dump the hardest part of my pregame rituals. Don't wanna feel the need in the middle you know

I betcha Innovation feels more constipated right now.

... hype?
