Wow that was very well explained. Gimmie a K! it's a silly debate since most of the sc2 pros who aren't really young played BW for Kespa at some point. debating whether the players who switched in 2010 or 2012 are better became a sport though. The argument was always that the 2010 switchers were all the B teamers who couldn't cut it in BW, so they went for easy money against easy opponents. Which is technically true, but the argument was also that the players that stayed in BW were genetically better, or something. The B-teamers always rise up and replace the A-teamers eventually though, they would have done that regardless of whether SC2 replaced BW. That was brought up once and they said players like Life and Taeja would have been the future of BW. I was less convinced knowing what I know of those two. They would have never made it in the kespa training.
Oh yeah, SC2 shook up the system a lot, I was just making a general statement.

The proof is in all the old LR threads(mostly gsl code a in late 2012/early/mid 2013) It was almost as annoying as the stephano's discussions whenever he got eliminated from a tournament.
the worst part was when a kespa player would lose they would just say "they need more time to learn the game, give them another 6 months/year/decade/century...."

Why is there such a huge delay on the German stream? D: Cause they're not at Blizzcon? (I'm assuming?)
it's not that. i'm also behind the regular stream. the taeja tweet was posted here before i saw artosis curse him on stream.

Why can't every series just be soO vs Taeja

wow if Life loses we're gonna have a non-Kespa finals. Well maybe MMA and Taeja are just a different level. Startale isn't on Kespa, or did I miss something? No, not yet. And even if they were, Life is certainly no elephant. Will they be? Didn't proleague open up to non-members? So Startale wouldn't have to join?!
They don't have to, but they might. Noone knows.

I hate it, when caster claim go like "player a is good at xyz" and don't continue with an example why they are good at it...
Are they just saying it to sound smart or do they actually have some pasts situations in mind?
