Has there ever been a player that got better on EG? It's a bit sad.

Suppy!


Puma, Xeno, Idra (arguably)

Huk and Stephano both won major tournaments as EG players...

I watched all of Korra last week and I am on ATLA this week. Fun times

Why would you watch Korra before Aang

I mean I had already watched AtLA but after I watched Korra I wanted to watch it again #teamZuko

It was something they planned on back when the expansion was first unveiled, but they couldn't come up with a way to make a more interesting unit fill their niche.

Them getting redesigned or removed is pretty high up there on my LotV wishlist.

Ah, thanks. I have been out of the loop for far too long. I liked WoL as it was.


As much as I hate Swarm Hosts I much prefer HoTS PvZ to WoL PvZ.

Archon Vortex vs Broodlord Infestor has to be the stupidest match up dynamic I've ever seen. Even Swarm Host Siege Tank stalemates are more fun to watch than that bull shit was.

I dunno, I never really got the hang of the HotS units. Even when I play every now and then now I still avoid HotS units and die a lot.

It is a strange day in Starcraft, some kind of eclipse or allignment of planets has rendered Koreans unable to win.


Eh, considering who's waiting for these guys in the Group stage I really don't think it matters in the long run if some kind of strange celestial event is happening today.

If this shit continues into tomorrow? Then I'll start flipping some tables.


Why? The day when foreigners have progressed in their training and habits to consistently compete with the Korean superpowers is something we've longed for since Starcraft came onto the competitive scene.


"Consistently compete" is the key phrase. A couple upsets in a single tournament featuring KESPA players does not qualify.

I will admit that European foreigners in particular have gotten pretty damn good at fighting the Koreans that most commonly show up in events like Hyun, Stardust and jjajki.

But to think that Snute or Huk can go toe to toe with GSL Koreans consistently? I don't see it.


With Bunny, Snute, and Scarlett doing as well as they have been, I think the day is closer than it has ever been.

Maybe he realized now that top foreigners aren't 10 levels lower (BW memories?)?

Foreigners overperform in tournaments like this where you can't prepare for opponents since they mostly play ladder and underperform in WCS and GSL. Same with Koreans who don't live in team houses and mostly ladder like Taeja.

So it mostly just depends on the tournament.

Probably IEM Sao Paolo, where the Open Bracket was 100% Brazillians and one Korean got through anyway.

I'm not discrediting the fact that those guys have been playing pretty damn well.

But are they as threatening as Naniwa, Huk, Jinro or Stephano ever were at their primes? To that I say no.

The gap widened pretty significantly when WoL became HoTS. Is it narrowing again? Perhaps, but it's still pretty big.
