Honestly, maybe we could pay just a tiny bit of respect to LoL (which, as I've said a thousand times before, is much harder to play well than the stereotype says) after they made a concerted effort to learn to appreciate Starcraft and watch the WCS Global Finals?

So if spelling 'wrecked' as 'rekt' is desirable because poor literacy is cool, and 'rekted' is the progression derived from compounding the illiteracy, is it possible to divine the future of the wrecking metagame?
if you think slang that simplifies spelling is a sign of illiteracy then you're out of touch with society, communication is evolving with the internet age and people who can't keep up are handicapping themselves
pretty sure it's easily possible to type "rekt" on a forum for fun and still write properly for job applications or essays

Watch Inno speak english out of nowhere
He's not programmed to speak English though. I was disappointed when Bomber didn't try English at all
New programming yo
Has he ever spoken English in an interview before? Even partially?
He said some english words at iem cologne in an interview. I got chills
Oh wow some English words? That's incredible
Almost as if learning a language from an entirely different family might be difficult to squeeze into your schedule when you're playing Starcraft a million hours a week

League of Legends is to Dota as Hearthstone is to Magic.

I'm jealous and full of gall ^^. Of course I respect any pro of any game. But if some of the other games' fans could join us... I wouldn't be mad

Innovation vs Hyun is arguably the most mismatched series in the Ro16 with Jaedong vs Bomber being the only other real contender.
Innovation's TvZ is top of the world and Hyun has looked so weak in ZvT lately that he's even lost to foreign Terrans.
That's going to be a 3-0, barring some CC first vs Roach/Bane All in stuff.
The butthurt in the SC2 community regarding LoL is honestly cringeworthy. Could we maybe focus more on our beautiful game and stop comparing it to others.
