I'm not sure if you've followed any other sports but ripping on other teams and their fans is inoffensive/standard. I just got called elitist/obnoxious and have managed to keep my panties twist-free. You really do need thicker skin. On May 29 2013 22:02 DarkLordOlli wrote: He wants to fight for the side that fights for the living. rofl, best post this thread | ||

We follow our favourite players. It's become obvious that Kespa players have taken over Code S and its for a very simple reason. Their coaching and practice develops better mechanics and better game sense. Its also obvious that Kespa players have taken over so quickly and completely because the skill ceiling is so low compared to BW. Yes, it is a different set of skills, but regardless, it is a lower skill ceiling. That is why younger players like Rain, Bogus, and Innovation have adapted better than the older pros. I don't think the old pros such as Stork, Jaedong, and even Fantasy will really be as good as they were in BW. So yes, we are a bit bitter. That's why it is satisfying to see Kespa players beat up ESF players and that's why some of the more hooliganish BW fans love going "KESPAAAAAAA!!!". What they are really saying is "BROODWARRRR!!!!" Its revenge, not against ESF, but against SC2. I see no logical reason why sc2 being mechanically easier than BW would make old veterans worse and younger players better. If It's less mechanically demanding then you would expect the veterans who have been playing for the longest to be the best at playing smart. It's simply a shift in generations and it would have happened had BW not died. | ||

In all seriousness though. It's easy to see KeSPA players rise because they are on KeSPA teams. However there are eSF players on the rise as well, I.E: Hurricane / Avenge who almost qualified for Code S themselves (still has a chance in ups and downs). But they are overshadowed by the KeSPA spammers and get very little attention sadly. | ||

Skill ceiling is lower, so completely different players dominate the game like crazy? :D Judging by how monstrously Innovation dominate his non-mirrors, I would argue that the skill-ceiling is doing just fine. | ||

I'm no kespa elitist but all the talk is about Innovation thesedays, where did Bogus go? | ||

We were all bashing the association because they were so unfair to the players we liked but now we are all under their banner, not because we love KeSPA but because we loved BW if I'm 100% selfish I just regret our beloved BW scene so much... but of course SC2 is global and it's much better for ESPORTS  | ||

What's an argument with only one person? Exactly, it takes two people to argue. Okay, so if I punched you in the face and you fought back, you'd be the one who started the fight because it takes two people to have a fight. I realize that this analogy isn't perfect, but it should suffice for communicating why I think you're wrong. | ||

Bogus also played micro and multitasking style just like Innovation plays. That's why Bogus's best matchup is also TvZ just like Innovation. TvZ in BW is very similar to TvZ in SC2, especially HotS, so Innovation can easily transfer Bogus's skills in BW to HotS. And Innovation still struggles in TvT just like Bogus did. | ||
