I am around here since only a year ago. Can someone briefly explain where does all this Kespa hate come from???

To much to tell but from liquipedia:
Over time KeSPA has stirred up controversy among fans, players, and coaches over its practice in its judgment on rules. The most controversial type of disqualifications have been over sending chat messages; some of the notable players who have been disqualified are Leta and GoRush. Many people on the Internet have displayed their discontent regarding these disciplinary actions against the players.


That might explain the hate on Kespa but not on the Kespa players themselves.

Anyway thanks for the explanation guys, I think I kinda get it now. People want Kespa players to go down because of what Kespa fans said/say. I finnaly checked out that elephant article.


Well, I don't hate KeSPA players in general, just Flash specifically. And Jeadong.
I bear this sig to commemorate the loss of the team icon that commemorated Oversky's 2008-2009 Proleague Round 1 performance.

lol My favorite part was the 300 people that within a few weeks of switching dominated everything.

haha, btw flash is pretty much a reason why that article is hilariously wrong.

The elephant theory was wrong, not because BW and SC2 are too different, but because it assumed the strongest players in the past would be the strongest players in the future, a really awful assumption to make.

it's more just poking fun at the overhype, and how kespa fans were saying they'd be 999999999x better than everything else at SC2 and the competition before kespa was a farce


But who says Kespa players are better? I read the LR threads and all I see is people hating on Kespa and cheering against Kespa players, but I don't actually see much people seriously saying Kespa players are plain better (aside a few trolls of course).

you missed the times right before and during their switch to SC2 lol

You don't even need to go that far. Just two days ago.

I love how people like drg are now a part of the elephant because they've been absorbed by kespa. Somewhere along the way it stopped being that the current sc2 progamers (at the time) were shit in comparison and it became that kespa would just stomp everyone into the ground, and then following that it became anyone at all with a bw background was obviously better. This shit is hilarious.


I don't get it.

When did DRG dominate people and win a GSL or something?

A lot of people are of the opinion that KeSPA players belong to some kind of master race (that, strangely, can adopt players but not vice versa - JD is still a KeSPA player when he wins but Parting is also one) that sit above all others. There aren't as many people in that group as there used to be in LR threads, but I promise you that whenever KeSPA is successful (or has majority in whatever tournament), someone will let you know that KeSPA won.


your proof lies in what, your name in red?


Or the fact that I've spent an absurd amount of TL. I'm not saying something new or unique, I'm surprised you'd dispute it. Do you think I'm wrong?

I just don't get the dissonance where people say Korea is the strongest region but KesPA players aren't any better than non-KesPA players.

I think you're missing the point it's not whether they are better or not it's how highly they are hyped and how the kespa fans say non-kespa players are shit, also WCS AM/EU are not 100% korean

Intrigue wasn't completely wrong btw; He just exaggerated it and wrote the article when the game wasn't figured out at all.
