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.

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?

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.
That tweet was made over 3 hours ago, when Artosis first said he thought TaeJa would win.
