I am not sure what is worst.. Naniwa out or the cheesing no name Korean keeps wining game after game.



Please tell me how finale aka duckdeok is a no name? That no name Korean was in Code S too.


results speak for themselves

http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Duckdeok/Results

One brief Code S appearance, and a top 16 at NASL season 4

He is not a no-name, people know who Finale is if they've watched GSTL and GSL.

If name is based off results like he said, wouldnt that make nearly every foreigner a no name?

I.... I guess so.

I think it exposes how ridiculous it is for people to say people are known by results alone. FFS, only one guy can win every tournament. It's not like there's one a week and it's common to be a champion.


Basically it's claiming that a "no-name" Korean = Hasn't won a GSL/ MLG/ DH, which is hilarious because those Koreans can still beat the best (let alone the average) foreigner.


Yeah that is probably the main reason for the decline of SC2 as e-sport.


DAT decline. Only 50k viewers on twitch right now. Better get back to NASL times with 15k viewers, because you know. 15>50. A lot!

UNLESS WE HAVE TI3 AND LCS NUMBERS WE'RE DEAD END OF.
KAS BETTER HAVE STREAM VIEWERS EQUAL TO TSM OR WE'RE EVEN MORE DEAD.

No it's funny how silly your opinion is, now that's really poor quality trolling


Why would I be trolling lol? That is my actual opinion based on watching every single game of Ro16 onwards of all the WCS tournaments.


So the worst players and the worst quality of games and productions get's the most views ... How does that make sense to you ?

Production is arguable, but player quality is indisputable..

Somebody explained it with timezones, which I tend to agree to.
Also, I think the 'WCS AM is bad' circlejerk has something to do with it.
And in the end, isn't it so? Player pool and quality of games themselves is, I think, unquestionable. The production is subjective I guess, but I just prefer the look of NASL to ESL right now (OGN and GOM are on completely another level).
The casters may be also a big reason, I agree WCS EU has probably upper hand with Apollo and Tod, although I personally prefer Rotti with Bitter.

WCS EU has the best production for me. NASL and GSL has somehow too much quality, it makes the atmosphere and "time elapsed" somehow worse.

i have to agree. they might not have the best production but how they handle it makes it best atmosphere/ viewing experience.
yo twitch, as long as I can watch 480p lagfree I'm happy

List of heads taken by finale: Dimaga, Stephano, Lucifron, Naniwa

So finale killed all the fan favorites? Welp, i feel bad for Grubby now.


eeexcellent :D

yeah we really need a (Z)Sniper for each race.
terran sniper should be alive unless we can come up with a better one


Terran sniper was Heart from coL and now on Axiom, he was really hated for being Puma 2.0 relying on super cheesy strats and he also knocked out HuK out of several MLG arenas and I think he also killed some fan favorites in the GSL.


I thought Terran Sniper was actually PuMa himself during the 1/1/1 days. XD


Oh right, I forgot how hated PuMa was back in the day.

Yeah that is probably the main reason for the decline of SC2 as e-sport.


Actually it's a sign of the growth of SC2. If you watch sports like badminton or pingpong or archery, the large majority doesn't care that *asians* are *unbeatable* in it, because they just want to see the best possible games. You need to have a large enough community for such concerns to pop.

(well tbh I know it for badminton and I'm just assuming it's the same for pingpong and archery)

I think some of the problem is that ESL is both the company and English Second Language. Took me a couple of reads to get it.

ESL as in "English as a Second Language" I think it was fine.
