Perhaps when the GOM players destroy the Kespa players in this OSL the Korean Kespa fans will warm to guys like Mvp and DRG more. or they'll dislike the game even more. Watching MVP taking the first code S kind of disappointed me, because the only thing I remembered him for before SC2 was beating BaBy and losing to flash in some MSL (Bigfile or Hana Daetoo?). It felt like wow, this scrub can be so good? WTF is wrong with the game? It's a different game, yo. Lose the hate, please.
did you read my post?
I was referring to how I felt over a YEAR ago.
thanks.

Worry about Browder. I don't care what's on OGN or GOM if it's not as good or better than BW. I'd wager most current OGN watchers are the same. People aren't just going to switch from soccer to rugby at the drop of a hat. They want soccer or something better.
Soccer or something better? Like Rugby?

Don't start the hate.
Also, talking about number of fans here, eh? It was devastating at first for an OGN event, then it got to Proleague-on-a-bad-day level.

Question.
Why these matches are not on the e-sports TV youtube? Since OSL group stages are all on that channel, this non-Kespa group stage should also be on it.
(I know they are on twitch)

Considering how much better Byun played than Symbol(clumped vikings being his only mistake, compared to 2.5k+ float past the 17 min mark and losing the entire army to siege tanks and etc. etc.), I'm glad that symbol didn't go through.

Yes Sannn!! Thank you for knocking Symbol out :D Good news for MKP indeed  Yea, good news a Zerg got knocked out You know Symbol is more than a zerg for MKP na he isnt anything special for mkp, just another good zerg But he's gone so no worries No no mkp is a guy to beat and symbol has his number. It is good for mkp specifically that symbol is gone. But clearly you are just balance whining that any zerg out is good
symbol does not nearly have mkp's number lol
symbol won at iron squid
mkp won at mlg
symbol won code s ro32
mkp won at ipl qual
symbol won code s ro16
so overall quite even lol

i hope the OSL finals are similarly packed!

i think since twitch had it, they didn't bother with esportstv since so few would watch that compared to the twitch stream :D

I definitely feel there was an unfortunate conflict for ByuN trying to hide builds from GSL Ro4.
DRG plays ZvP pretty much the same every tournament, so he had less to fear, but terran is a more build oriented race and protoss can easily metagame certain builds if they are figured out.
Also people should be glad the esportstv didnt have vods, as those have been low quality. The HD stream vods they have on twitch are great.

I am not sure about hiding builds. If Byun played totally standard bio with pressure when Medivacs comes out into MMMVG, then maybe. But he chose an one base all-in, I think he just wanted to gamble.

None of the real pro's have switched yet. A years time and we won't be talking about half the players currently winning tournaments.

yup, it's a gamble, but anyone can do a 1-1-1 with very similar builds and it's fairly easy to pull off and has a decent winrate? standard mmmvg still has timings for the tech switches and timings for attacks for seed to analyse

I was pretty sure Byun wouldn't be able to make it through and I was right. Also very happy that Oz has beaten Mvp to place first. San is a bit of a suprise though but it seems he really likes OSL ! Hope he keeps on doing well like this !

Hello, I haven't followed the SC2 scene in a while. Sorry for my ignorance, but is this OSL tournament run by Kespa, the people who ran/run the Brood War stuff? Also, is this the first Kespa run event in SC2 so far? Thanks for any answers :D
|
I caught the VODs and the games were OK-ish. Symbol proves me that he's been riding the zerg patch. He should've lost to Byun on Antiga.
Wish Byun could have advanced along with DRG and San. I have been a fan of all 3 of them.

...? Come on now, that's definitely unfair. Symbol has been playing well, his GSL games show that. He didn't really deserve to win that particular game, but his recent success wasn't just "riding the Zerg patch," he's legitimately good.

I've been away from the scene only for a couple weeks and people are talking about BC/Raven deathball in TvZ? Can someone link to a recent VOD of such games? Out of curiosity.

so OSL IS part of KeSPA
as stated here also.

Why are these suckers trying to persuade me that it's not?

All that talk about trying to globalize esports is just KeSPA talking out of their ass, it seems. Meh, korean casters are far better to listen to even if I don't understand them. Also your comment on kespa is irrelevant OGN=/=kespa
