I can't wait for Dimaga to run out of money so he can do super well in one tournament before balling out of control again.

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.

Petition to make the use of "rekted" a ban-able offense -_-


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


It's not a simplification, it's a subcultural code-word. It exists to identify as part of a group.
I bear this sig to commemorate the loss of the team icon that commemorated Oversky's 2008-2009 Proleague Round 1 performance.

Card games... MOBAs... Fortunately we have games like SCII that actually rely on skill.


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?


Well, if only LoL can stop doing that stupid in-game pinging, then I would actually watch it.

But I won't lie. LoL is EXTREMELY tactical in the proscene.

The current number 1 of the bracket contest has foolishly predicted San to 3-0 jjakji. Time for me to shine and take over the throne


you chose fucking jjakji?


of course he chose the fucking jjakji chan, Blizzcon 2014 champion.

Sorry, I have him out to Zest next round, but there will be 5 games to comfort you!


5 games against Zest ? Zest would roflstomp jjakji like he's plat.


Iirc jjakji was very close to beating Zest at IEM Shenzen (can't spell). Had a great game on Overgrowth.

All three series were won by the player I expected so far, but they were also the easiest to predict. I think Innovation over Hyun is a reasonable bet as well, but the other three are a lot harder.


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-, barring some CC first vs Roach/Bane All in stuff.

Jaedong vs Bomber was closer than Classic vs Polt

Barely. Polt beat Classic 3-2 only a little before he won a GSL. Please don't bring up Classic's victory over Maru because goddamn that kid has been irrelevant the whole year.

won't getting rid of a league (WCS AM or EU) reduce the number of nonkoreans that could be at blizcon? If only 32 players are getting a substantial cut of the points from both regions wont that reduce the number of people who can get large sums of points

Hold on, you forgot Classic and herO.

Basically, only the Kespa players.

Also don't forget players that should've been here but were not due blizzards ridicoulous WCS system:

P: Rain, sOs, Stats
T: Maru, Flash(yes hes doing amazingly recently, watch his games in GSL Ro32 and Ro16 vs soO, IEM Canada aswell..)
Z: Solar, Snute(almost made it to blizzcon, great player)

Showing great games in the GSL ro32 and ro16 does not mean you deserve to be at the global finals hahaha

He won an IEM.

In regards to North Americans, its because the fanbase doesn't support them. No one watches or supports the smaller tournaments. As long as that holds true, there's not going to be any infrastructure building that can foster new talent.

They could, if they were good enough... I mean, I'm not counting out a random scarlett or snute appearance but overall, foreigners would get shredded in the Qualifiers.

Fun fact, the person who designed WCS 2 years ago was fired in the same year he made it.
