Player names aren't even released...so anyone trying to draw meaningful conclusions from this is moronic.

All that can really be extrapolated from these results is that KeSPA players are rapidly improving and already capable of putting up a fight. That much should be good news for everyone, I think.


Well sure Shy looked decent, but did you see that KeSPA zerg? Didn't look like rapid improvement to me. He looked bad.

Maybe he's the Ace of ZvP.
May the BeSt man win.

Quick reminder :
Korean announcement : [1] http://esports.gomtv.com/gsl/community/view.gom?msgid=32742
Korean SC2 Ready Action VODs: [2] http://ch.gomtv.com/list.gom?ch=4555&intpid=28119&type=3

Format:
Match 1 – KeSPA-based team player A vs E-sports federation or GSTL-based team player C
Match 2 – KeSPA-based team player B vs E-sports federation or GSTL-based team player D
Macth 3 – a winner of Match 1 vs a winner of Match 2

Every match consisted of BO3
Every player will be coming from different team.
a name of the player and team will be revealed on Match 3 but until then, it will be anonymous.

Map pool:
1st week: Entombed Valley, Ohana, Daybreak

I'm not sure this program provides streaming through Gomtv.net. But at least, residents of KR can watch KeSPA vs GSL action every Monday 6:00PM KST in July.

Just hoping that GomTV release the official announcement for English viewers.


Why is everyone so sure it's a "GSL" player ? It could be Tiger or Trickster... Only the playstyle give a hint, but still, I wouldn't be so sure until it's confirmed...

Just so this calm down a bit, remember July ? Was quite a good player in broodwar mh ? Still, he's very good at SC2, but not as brilliant as he was in BW (and he's been quite declining recently. This can very well depends of motivation or transition conditions...

Relatively speaking July sucks at broodwar if you consider his skill vs the competition when he left it for sc2.
He who turns those around him into allies, possesses the most terrifying ability in the world.

It's pretty stupid to analyze the "31% win record" when like all the games are ESV weekly tournaments. It's actually shocking how ace apparently has played like 4 pvps in gsl since he has been around a while.


So ESV weekly does not count into the record? Sorry, but ESV weekly is a good tournament for guaging players' skills. Many current great players (Taeja, for example) did really really well in ESV weekly and it translate into GSL results later. Shouldn't that mean a player who went 3-7 in PvP in ESV weekly does not play PvP very well? Sure it might not be GSL, but ESV is still a tournament that many players compete in seriously.

And if you want to ignore ESV that badly, then his record in GSL/GSTL is 2-5. That's 28.5% win rate. His PvP record in ESV is actually better.

Ace is a bad PvP player. I would not be surprised if he lost to other KesPA's players in PvP.


2/5=0.4. That is 40%.

Ace's overall record is composed of games player over a long period of time. Therefore, it is hardly an indicator of his current level. Now, let us consider a few things here: His overall international PvP record is 18 - 11 (62%), where he played mostly against Koreans. His record against Koreans (international and Korean) in 2012 is 8 - 9 (47%). If we cut out the first three months out, we get to 5 - 4 (55%). Seems to me like he has been quite capable in this matchup recently, so people should probably stop making it sound like AcE is bad.

Ace revealed on his twitter that it was in fact him who lost in this showmatch (source as reported by TiG: http://www.thisisgame.com/board/view.php?category=13438&id=1240309)

He said that he didn't want Parting and Squirtle to take the blame and also mentioned his disapproval of barcode players BMing on the ladder.

I could translate the whole article if anyone wants more detail.

Knowing how sleazy GOM is in trying to artificially create things, they probably handpicked the best performers in a MU for Kespa players, say a really good PvTer, vs a GSL guy who has a terrible TvP.

Why the hell would GOM want it to seem like Kespa is catching up? Before you rag on a great company who has done a ton of things to work out for us non Koreans perhaps you should think on your damn logic, or lack thereof.

Man your dumb

Kespa and Gom compete for broadcast space. Gom would want to show the kespa players arent good to draw more sponsors to theyre practically sponsor-less team. It is a common idea in Korea that the kespa players will stomp the GSL players and now would be the perfect time for them to prove the opposite.


Gom are weasels. Corporate version of attention whores. They'll do anything to get views which equal money.

Hence persistent foreigner seeds that don't really deserve it (Nani proved an exception).

Kespa vs Gom is a rivalry. Rivalry sells. A couple of terrible matches make viewers go away. Good matches make people tell their friends about the show.

You're dumb if you think Kespa players wont eventually compete in Gom leagues, and vice versa.
If Kespa players turn out terrible, the charge is lessened, the interest is lessened.

I'm 100% convinced Gom is praying that BW pros catch up as soon as possible, because that means dozens of thousands fanboys and fangirls switching their attention from BW to SC2.

as much as i like to bash on sc2 being a terrible game i'd attribute it to the stricter training regime of kespa teams and the fact that 90% of gsl code s players were b-teamers or worse in broodwar

An yet many good BW programmers when transferred over to SC2 didn't do so well so your comment has about zero ground. BW elitism really needs to die out seriously both games are really great games but the elitism many BW fans feel is just completely baseless and false in many instances. Such as your statement here. Nada was great in the BW days but failed to win much of anything in SC2 hmmmm that alone disproves your theory there as does July not really winning much as well, shall I go on? Compare the SC2 careers of MVP,MMA, an MC vs that of a Nada or July. It's not even funny how far apart they are so quit it with the elitism seriously.

You are seriously clueless if you mention NaDa and July, who were several years past their prime BW wise when they switched. They were barely able to keep up with B-team players (unless they went on some rampage like July during his last OSL win). Yet NaDa consistently placed top8 in GSL while attending university.
