crushing face in korea. lol.

it was a tournament in korea with about no korean in it vs Welmu in the final. i think there was some chinese guys in it, maybe mid level koreans as well.



yeah I was just wondering if the guy claiming that on the previous page could back it up. made me lol too. the guy was probably one of those platinum tosses that dont want to have their free wins taken away.

edit: guy above me its ''crème de la crème'' now plz teach me how to say I like Peter Forsberg.

The point is the Xeno doesn't whine about Protoss, he works on beating them. His stream always says "Lets beat the Protoss together." Shockingly, he does well on stream because he doesn't whine and keeps a focused mindset.

How could you mix ''crushing face in Korea'' with ''he keeps a positive mindset''?

What an awful tweet to retire on. To implicitly blame (what was probably) a lack of motivation at achieving higher success on David Kim is the epitome of arrogance. Politicizing his own retirement, why can't he just leave with dignity? Ok then Kas, seeya.

If im not mistaken he just played with his bar-code VS Grubby on stream and at the end said "What a joke" before leaving. Not sure if it's his barcode, but Grubby said it seemed like Kas from the way he spoke and played. I hope that game didn't tip him off, because it was quite a cool late game PvT with mass ghost/viking etc. I could be terribly mistaken.

I remember seening some whiny comments from him every now and then but like a baller he deletes them.
And I would guess little Limbo is young enough to cope with keeping a mindset that doesn't crack him apart.

Putting aside my Terran pride, watching the game isn't always that fun either. I really dislike watching ZvP due to the strategies most P utilize. Is it their fault for using a 2 base all-in constantly? No, it wins. That's their job. Do I roll my eyes every time I see that happening? Yup! Stream off. BW/LOL/DOTA Stream on!


Guess what, different people enjoy different things. One of SC2's strenghts is that the matchups are different. I've always liked PvZ more than the other matchups, and I enjoy PvP a lot, too.

Or the people, whether it's Terran, Zerg or Protoss at the time, realize that their mindset is the problem, not the game. If you can't deal with admitting that you are the one who is at fault and should train harder or you realize it, but cannot commit the necessary time then yes, at some point Starcraft 2 is not the right game for you

Shut up you clueless noob. You are nobody to shit on the amount of practice and hard work Kas has put into the game. And nobody should tell him what he should or shouldn't say. If he feels the game is unfair his reasons to think so are a thousand times worthy of more respect than your clueless shitty opinions on this forum. And this applies to every similar post I've read in this thread.
It's his choice. He is a great player. He is a great person. He worked hard and was one of the most positive terran players, even in the patchzerg era. If anybody deserves respect in this community it's him. So shut up with the idiotic comments. Thank you.

He does so well on stream that he gets crushed by mid-upper level foreign Protoss players. He got smashed by Grubby so hard on stream in a long macro game that ended with Grubby having a bank of almost 10k/10k and Xeno losing his entire army.

I don't understand this rage retirement. Why don't he just take a break. Try some new methods of reset his way of thinking about the game. Meditate, watch some VOD's from Jjakij or Polt, try to figure his weaknesses and specifically practice on improving that, mess around with new strats, or play Protoss.
The problem isn't balance, it's really the design. To tweet blaming your retirement due to balance issues is immature attitude

I agree so much. I very rarely use this term but this thread has so many backseat gamers who shit on Kas as if he's being arrogant or lazy. You guys have no idea what you're talking about, balance/design aside.
Delete your post underage b&. You're incestuous for you're onee-chan so you're clearly not a bad guy, but others might not agree

Yes, he was. But, I think he was also a good example of practice isn't enough. Enough to make it to the highest of amateur levels or a middling pro level, maybe. But to go higher, you need more. Kas did not appear to have it or know how to get it.

As to his tweet. Yes, it is a graceless and classless way to go out (if that is indeed what he is doing other than having a hissy fit). But, meh. Kas has not been really relevant in HOTS. Hopefully, DK caught that tweet and had a good long chuckle.

Honestly, I think fixing the game won’t satisfy everyone anyway. Hmm. So I think the key is to not get stressed too much. Let’s play with an optimistic mind. This is my answer ㅋㅋㅋ. Even I’m getting stressed at PvP these days. I’ve changed my mindset to “if it’s not going to be patched anyway, I’ll try to find the answer myself”. ㅋㅋ.

From a recent interview by Dear.
I wish more people looked at the game like this.


Starcraft has many factors to being good then just playing many games, mindset is one of the hugest factors.
