So you asked me if Hearthstone games are short enough to warrant BO7 group stages. Their schedule says their 3rd series should be about to finish now. But they're just now going into the last game of their 2nd series.

Yeah I think 7 might have been too much.

Not sure about the comparison since I don't know anything about guitars but the skill level in sc2 definitely isn't as high as it was a couple years ago.


Aaaaaaand you just took that right out of your ass.


The korean scene this year is much less competitive and cut throat than it was a couple years ago which I think has caused the overall skill level to be lower than it used to be.

I feel like he is only talking about mechanics?

No


I actually think that strengthens my suspicion
Aka having a better understanding of the game, builds, etc isn't included in his definition of "skill"

But saying pure mechanics = skill is kind of dumb. Knowing how to use that skill is in itself a skill

Yeah i agree with you, just how i interpreted these tweets

Yes Pele was definitely a better player than Messi.

Also these guys would win every table tennis world cup today. The chinese would stand no chance.

I really hope elazer trainer to be the next pope before this ... that was really underwhelming: came home, watched two terribly failed allins. I think he just conceded before the games even started... c'mon TY isn't such unbeatable god that reading TL would make you think. Really sad from that. I wouldn't blame elazer for losing, but he should have at least give it a proper try.

the skill in these games has gone up. back in the day progamers were barely able to control armies with ghosts and vikings and or collosi and ghost. now the games are faster, more expansions, more units to control and more spells. there is no doubt in my mind this game is harder to play than hots and wol and the skill as gone up to adjust to it

People just say what they want to believe is true. The statement is completely without merit.

It is funny that you call out stuff and do bad analogies yourself. When a scene becomes more competitive because more money, etc is involved then players become better as a result. Better coachig, etc.
Now try to take that and use it with (korean) starcraft.

Also i am just saying how i interprete his tweets and it makes some sense. Even though i think that decision making, etc is a skill as well obviously, but that doesn't seem to be included in his version of "skill"

Yes when people practice more they become better. But the claim is not just that the improvement has slowed down. The claim is that the players have become worse.

So how do the same players become worse. Explain that to me. All I heard was "guitars" and "koreans aren't dominating anymore".

OW is newer, on at a slightly better time for NA and has about 200 times the playerbase it doesn't surprise me that much.

20 Million sold copies, playable on consoles... 50k viewers is pretty low for what I expect for OW. But on the other hand, like heroes or Hearthstone, might be fun to play (not for me) but hard to enjoy as an esport.

It's 5 months old.

It could have 150k viewers or 5k next year. We just don't know yet. All we know is it's popular in Korea and Blizzard is pumping money into it like they used to for sc2.
