It kind of weirds me out that your feelings for a player are affected by his fans haha
I am extremely indiffrent towards Jaedong btw he is before my time. He wins a game: "THE TYRANT IS BACK FGHSUAJKLJ" He loses a game: "I hope his condition is okay the tyrant shall return he must be tired etc" It goes on and on and gets annoying. Leenock for example has done way more in sc2 but gets not nearly the credit Still not JD's fault though mhmm...which is why I don't hate him as a person, I just want him to lose so I don't have to read the overhyped tyrant is back messages with dancing sheep How do you feel about Flash? Flash has waaay more anti fans. Yeah I agree. It never really felt like Flash had that many fans beside the very beginning when he first switched just because of the hype. There are plenty of other players with bigger and louder fan bases these days but Flash still gets a lot of hate Hate out of ignorance, that is what it is. People just don't want to know anything about the history of the game. For me, as a bw fan, it is always sad, if they only knew they would understand. If they knew he was really good in another game they'd cheer for him now? Success breeds fans, but it also breeds resentment if you dominate for so long and that resentment comes out as anti fans when you aren't nearly as good in the future, as he is now in sc2. Flash has been declared to be the symbol of BW elitist since the elephant article unloaded that crap upon us. As one who didn't hate SC2 back then it is really hard to not feel at least some justice when Flash loses, even if you don't dislike him.
I hear you. But this is not the main reason for hatred towards the bw legends imho.
I wish the things stayed the way they were after all.

That game on Metalopolis. I want Polt vs Stephano back TT best rivalry in 2012 MKP vs DRG was just as good. Polt vs Stephano was over a longer time span though. MKP vs DRG was sick though. MKP vs DRG had the added bonus of being the two best players in the world at the time going at it back and forth in consecutive tournaments Polt vs Stephano had the Foreigner vs Korean edge as well and was incredibly close. We can agree both were good though maybe I'm biased but it always seemed to me like Polt crushed him or self destructed lmao. ASUS ROG was a stomp They are quite close in scores and produced some pretty epic games imo. But maybe I have a different perspective cause I loved it when those two met. I liked it when Polt won haha idk I'm probably just having a super biased/jaded view of the past. Their record was certainly close It is : http://aligulac.com/m/0wdG5JqxWG1zpvlZ/
Wait wasn't Stephno retired when he won that last showmatch? Wtf, how?

Does anyone remember when and how Polt became loved? I remember people hating him in 2011.

Polt played super weird and terribly. Stephano did what you might expect of post-"retirement" stephano

I think the Polt love started when he won ASUS ROG by beating Stephano in some exciting and high level games and showing off his English skills.

Well I always liked him but it was that Asus rog he won. He did interviews in awesome english which was a first for Koreans and showed some inspired play all round and instantly became a fan favourite

It goes on and on and gets annoying.

As one who didn't hate SC2 back then it is really hard to not feel at least some justice when Flash loses, even if you don't dislike him. I guess that's part of it. All the people who claimed that sc2 was sooooo easy compared to BW and Flash/JD etc would dominate easily in the new game make me feel satisfaction when he doesn't dominate
Hmm, I bet a lot of ppl still do agree that it is mechanically much easier than bw.

Little reminder that Snute couldn't take a plane in Norway so he had to take 5 trains to Sweden and then a flight to London and arrived a couple of hours before his match. So he may not be in the best conditions to display his best level.

They disliked him because he said Jinro wasn't that good and then beating fan favorite MMA in the Super Tournament
Then they forgot about him including Gom when they didnt even have him in the Blizzard Cup intro
Then they liked him when he started playing those series vs Stephano and gave English interviews
