anyone else remember a time when blizzard made good game trailers? ... god that shit looks lame

Are you talking about the commercial for the single new character for Heroes, or the for the patch to Wow? Their game/expansion commercials are still cool.

I think commercials and trailers are done by different teams? That's probably why there's a difference in quality.

Well I mean
ByuL was a runner once and is now GSL and SSL finalist
MMA was a runner once and is BlizzCon runner-up and GSL semifinalist
Bomber was a runner once and has shown solid play, although nothing extraordinary. Same with jjakji, with weaker play, but like many true KR players.
Polt beat the greatest PvT players during the Protoss golden era
A team made with many former runners beat KeSPA's mighty JinAir this round in PL round robin
ForGG, Stardust and San are failures I'll give you that

honestly I was just kidding at first, but Yorkie got pretty rustled

and we both know that ByuL sucked before CJ picked him up

Given what I've seen of CJ, I'm just gonna go ahead and say that CJ had little impact on his skill overall. Send him to any other Kespa team and he's just as good.

And what have you seen of CJ?

They have all maintained there respective levels of skill, except SkyHigh who went up for a little bit.

Hydra improved after leaving.
Gumiho improved after leaving.
They basically chased effort out of the scene.

Compared to say what KT, JA, SKT, KHAN they havent really shown any kind of skill in increasing their players overall skills.

Rain got better results upon leaving SKT. PartinG too. MyunGsik too. I can't think of players that left Khan or JAGW recently. Hydra made 17th-24th of Code S twice while on CJ. What makes you tell he would do it now? I'll give you GuMiho, he should have been used by CJ.

I think Rain's skill went down, but his mindset went up.

Paring went up, but in his own words, "I'm a wild ESF animal. I don't belong in Kespa zoo."

They improved Classic (though that could have just been STX), Dream, Dark, soO and revived Inno.

JA improved Rogue, Cure, Trap.

Khan improved Bravo, revived Dear, improved Solar.

KT improved Stats and TY.

Every Kespa team can keep a players skill up within a certain range, but every other Kespa team beyond CJ has improved the overall skill in players in at least 2 players or more. In CJ's case the only player that impoved was ByuL, and he was on the up and up before he joined CJ.

Basically all I'm saying is CJ wasnt integral to ByuL's success. So long as he joined a Kespa team, I think he would have always been around this skill level.

I fail a bit to understand your reasoning here. How did Khan improve Solar (assuming we're talking about the period since ByuL joined CJ) or JAGW improved Cure, or KT improve TY, but CJ didn't improve herO, who won his first KR Premier this year and went one map away from GSL finals, or Ragnarok, semi-retired player who did Code S Ro32 (don't remember if it's during S2 or this season), or sKyHigh, who saw improved results, or Bbyong, who never knew individual success like that?

I did say SkyHigh improved.

I count improvement from when a player solidified their identity to now. So herO/BByong solidified their identites as a Top 5 Protoss/ro16 Terran since early 2014/2013.

They havent gone up since then. They havent gone down, but they have gone up despite Park supposedly being the wold's godliest coach? (I think its actually Ryu Won and Kim Min Ki in SC2, but ahts a different topic).

Rag was always a ro32 player or below that and he still is even after playing for CJ.

Cure was a ro32 player who peaked almost high enough to win a GSL. TY for almost his entire carrer is a perenial good PL player thats goes bad in playoffs, but somehow Ryu Won got him to play well once he got there.

Stats was around a ro16 player for a long time, but he eventually went all the way up to Top 3 of his race.

Not feeling Ryu Won anymore. KT isn't nearly as strong in 2015 as they were in 2014.

His resume is too good and the amount of praise he got (from pros) was too high for me to dismiss him, even after KT's bad performance this year.

    (2007) Jaedong  0-0  Lilbow (2207)     
-------------------------------------------
        16.99% 2-0       0-2  34.55%       
        19.98% 2-1       1-2  28.48%       
-------------------------------------------
            36.97%        63.03%           

Median outcome: Jaedong 1-2 Lilbow

Estimated by Aligulac. Modify.

I'd give JD higher chances than that but I'd still probably favor Lilbow

It was always unimaginative and cliche O.O but had good dialogue I guess.

I would give similar percentages for a bo5+ but in a bo3 I feel like it's a really tough match to call.
