But at the same time we've been seeing a lot of stagnation in Preliminaries and Code A. We still have Cella and TheWind nearly making it into Code A. The way I see it, I certainly expect Kespa players to break in, and maybe eventually make up 20-30% of all Code A/S caliber players within the next 2-3 months. But I don't see them breaking much further than that, or reaching the height of Code S, for a bit more time. Will they eventually completely overtake ESF? Maybe, that is yet to be seen, but I don't think anyone is going down without a fight. And I don't think the sky is falling quite as you're predicting it.

I'd be willing to bet cash that within 3 seasons, more than a third of Code S is players from KeSPA teams, and that they will take at least half of the top 16 slots in that season.

Oh for sure. they're work ethic is far superior to current GSL players.

Genius says that he plays at most 10 games a day to practice. And he wonders why he loses to Naniwa 2 seasons in a row.

I think that might be a little high, but then again it probably isn't too far off. We will see.

Additionally, Heart of the Swarm is going to shuffle things up too.

AGar · Post Post #1833 (ISO) » Tue Sep 18, 2012 2:23 pm

It'll actually put the KeSPA pros even closer to the GSL players, since it's going to reset a lot, and the KeSPA team houses are likely to continue their manic practice regimens, while I don't really see the ESF team houses shaping up to that level.

Friend me, lemme know if you're online and want to play somebody.
You'll most likely win. I am okay with this.

What is your code? I'm gonna friend you.

I don't play multiplayer much (read: at all), just against/with my friends and vs computer so it should be even matched

The frustrating part about Dota 2 for me is that it's still a moba game. hahaha, i wasted a year on LoL and i never really improved after 1300 elo. So doing Dota 2 felt pretty much the same, it's better than LoL. Except there is no surrender option

Yessssss Scarlett has started streaming on a semi-regular basis and DeMuslim is back to streaming regularly!

Other then when LG-IM team house randomly streams they are my favourite players to watch (Catz takes 3rd).

you do not understand the blizzard experience of pay $40 for every expansion, hope it's good, bitch if it's not and buy the next one anyways

BBmolla · Post Post #1847 (ISO) » Tue Mar 12, 2013 2:52 pm

Game is good. Upset Blizzard Allstars wasn't released with it, more excited about that than normal starcraft multiplayer tbqh.

Campaign is fun so far at least
