Lessons from OSL Kespa vs GOM competition:

We should speculate less and enjoy the games more.

Here's what I learned:

1, Fuck micro and multitask. The rumors are true, in terms of micro and multitask, indeed sc1 >>> sc2 players.. Nestea and even Parting where simply outclassed in these areas. Parting won, but only because he had the good sense to see what Ty was doing and and the right reaction to it. Fantasy's marine micro might be the best I've seen, better than MMA even, and those drop harass + macro is impeccable.
2. Kespa players are not ahead, not yet. It is safe to say that GSL players still have a very slight advantage. I will not speculate whether it will hold or Kespa will take over. Both have an equal chance to improve at this point, so let's see how they adjust.
3. Experience counts. DRG and Parting won by sheer force of slyness and knowledge of the game.
4. Flash is nothing special. I will not speculate what is happening to him since I



lol, not sure how Parting was out micro'ed and multi-tasked. Baby went for a 1 base double front attack that did basically nothing.

And Fantasy's macro slipped while he was dropping. He still played a good game but people are overhyping it a lot.

Flash just has to practice TvP for the rest of the month, he has no other obligations. He has had plenty of time to transition to SC2, he played Brood War longer than most, but he was rumored to have been spending all his time on SC2 anyway. If Flash really is as good as everyone says he is, then his convincing win over San does seem meaningful. Yes, he played passively, but he still won and since when is something other than winning or losing relevant? We have not yet seen the full extent of Flash's gameplay, we now only know that he knows how to win, and for a player like Flash that might be all that's necessary.
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.

Fantasy's macro didn't slip, he has said he sometimes lets minerals build up on purpose, so he can build more of the units he wants.

To be fair from the last i saw Nestea play which was in the IPL TAC he has been getting out multitask for a while. He likes to run his army in one hotkey. Nestea was a great player because of his game sense not multitasking so i wouldnt read too much into it.

The only thing we can learn from today's OSL is that the KESPA vs GOM competition is great for sc2

Baby's play was pretty terrible. Other than some nice Medivac harass, it was nothing spectacular.

His macro was subpar. Getting supply blocked at 110 and then proceed to be stuck on an 18 minute 2 base bio. Felt like I was watching GSL Open Season 3 all over again.

This sentiment is just stupid, most if not all of the "sc2" players, were bw players before they switched.

To the rest of your post, I will say that you're concluding way too much on a 4 game basis. Cool your horses.

yea, nothing to see here.

Actually my second account. The first one in 2011 got banned for my idiotic rage against 4gate pvp. Mod told me to be less idiotic on my next account.

Also, ironic that I just came out of a ban due to post count and join date.

Anyway, good day sir.

well if kespa players take over it is mostly due to their training, if gsl player will fall behind one thing will be cut. Going to international events. You notice that someone that attends multiple events falls off, with just a really small amount of players able to do it and keep their level (imagine if they would only train lol).
If against all odds, kespa players would also enter international events (more then only a few) the training thing would be evened out a little.
I have seen a few cute moves by kespa players, nothing impressive, i found it rather impressive that this isn't standard in pro level. But the rule seems to be, doesn't have to be done if no one else does it.
At the end i would put the chances higher into korea sheltering itself away in the competition and the international scene will lose the korean fan boy viewers. But from what i saw is that we might end up seeing more micro. (pulling medivacs away when dropping a protoss that is tying to snipe the medivac. bringing stalkers in the full marine range, easy to see easy to do)

It's also interesting how differently the kespa players evolve, depending how much help they get from the current sc2 players. And funny when they are confronted with something they didn't knew.

Can't wait though till the first mass fungaled group of marines will be completly saved due to medivac cloud kiting ... kidding.

Overall they have proven that they are pros, nothing special. Would have actually counted them out if they couldn't win Bo1s against ESF players after such a long preparation time.
At the end Fantasy will win everything anyway ! ... But MvP too they will have eternal draws in the finals.

way to small of games atm to compare, and I could say from these games that KESPA players want to do early damage to expand or just outright win the game.

I am talking about that game between Baby and Parting. I don't see how Baby out multitasked Parting. Could you give me examples?

Well, Flash did not not show anything that would blow your mind. We just have to wait and see can he bring something new and flashy to the table. I hope that he does!
