Oh God, it's glorious. Well played.

I was worried when Sonic left BW but boy am I glad now... Funny how certain things turn out in the end, huh :D

Saviors are cursed. Its the villians that we need. Become relevant again EG!

We just need a new word and it will be fine. Is there a synonym for savior? I'm not a native english speaker and the polish "zbawca/zbawiciel" may be too hard to pronounce.

"zbawca/zbawiciel" those aren't real words at all. How could any work get done with a language like that?

Someone hasn't seen finnish, hue hue. Or the perennial champion of english-speakers slayin', hungarian.

Tell that to Intotherainbow who put all his savings into it. What Sonic did is really bad.

It becomes easier the moment you realize certain consonants are pronounced differently in Polish and some consontant clusters (e.g. "ci", "ch", "rz", "dz", "dzi") are not pronounced seperately and produce a single sound. I never understood the notion of hard pronounciation in Polish, especially if you are familiar with a language / accent that is rhotic (like Spanish, or even better - Scottish).

If you do try to pronounce everything seperately and the "english way" it does tend to sound ridiculous as fuck though

English isn't better actually. In which other language can a vocal be part of a consonant like "ti" in "nation" stands for "sh" or the german "sch".

Also look at this:
gh in "laugh" = f
o in "women" = i
ti in "nation" = sh
So "ghoti" in english pronounciation could sound like "fish"...

@topic
I feel kinda dumb now for bragging in front of my friends with those sbenu SSL-Badges
Furthermore, I consider that some kind of Code A must be reestablished.

Im suprised that OGN and SPOTV accepted his sponsorship if they knew this.

How would they know?

Anyway, I am incredibly disapointed in these turn of events. I thought Sonic had a beautiful story, a fan of Starcraft fan, becoming rich and successful and helping prop up professional Starcraft.

Now with the two trademark issues, this is completely unsalvageable. What a shame!

Get carried away? It seems he systematically lied and put a lot of people and put a lot of people's financial livelihoods down the tubes for nothing.

esports is growing though.

I guess Brood War looks like its shrinking because Sonic created an unsustainable bubble with the last few big production Sonic Starleagues. But overall the interest/viewership is still there.

you watch esports because other people watch esports? That's a dumb reason. You should watch it because you like it.

Not to mention if "esports" is dependent on a nearly 20 year old game it's in trouble anyway.

Can't you fools see this is all a plot by Dr. Robotnik to tarnish his image? He's clearly been framed!

Welp seems like I gotta find a new team flair soon :-x

Why does everything have to be too good to be true in esports. It's a natural attractor for shady businessmen somehow.

Because there ain't no such thing as a free lunch. esports need to turn a profit to be sustainable. Passion =/= money. Sonic may have passion for starcraft, but that doesn't give him the $2million he needs to sustain the business.
very illegal and very uncool
