can somebody explain the kespa jokes?


Basically, when Kespa players switched over from BW, there was a lot of BW elitism going around where BW fanboys would claim that the current crop of SC2 players were trash BW rejects, and thus, the actually good BW players would dominate them after switching to SC2. BW did indeed have many talented RTS players switching over, so the player pool was injected with a bunch of extremely skilled contenders, so there were many instances of recently-switched BW players taking out the old-school SC2 players in tournaments. While this was happening, we had BW elitists everywhere (presumably salty because they perceived SC2 being the main cause of BW's demise) talking shit about ESF players, citing the Elephant in the Room article, and so on. One of the things these BW elitists would do is spam KESPAAAA whenever a Kespa player would win. As a result, people now parody their ridiculousness by spamming the same thing when a Kespa player loses to one of the SC2 "old guard", or whatever you want to call them.

Good post, thanks for explaining!

That sounds like it was fucking annoying back then.


Yes it was very annoying, so much so that a lot of people just stopped posting in LR threads until it(mostly) stopped.


Does that explain your anger management issues and mocking the living hell out of KeSPA fans every time one of their players lose?

Which is doubtful if they even exist anymore, I guess illidanx is still around.

This is a very good post. This post should be referred to whenever someone asks a question about this topic.

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...."


jetlag was my favorite.

don't people still cite that today?

now Kespa jail doesn't let them leave

Why is there such a huge delay on the German stream? D:

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.

That tweet was made over 3 hours ago, when Artosis first said he thought TaeJa would win.
I am here in the shadows.
