I agree with what Mark said and Cole has been saying this forever, no one wants to be better or be the best anymore. The top players have stayed the same for years because no one is pushing or trying to be better. Like Mark said, everyone is just happy pubbing and winning easy games and not trying to better themselves. If you look at the standings it's basically the same people in top 5 every season for the past 15 seasons. I don't think this is blaming dodgers solely, it's the fact that the game is old and there isn't many new comers to the game. So it's hard to reach new people and get them motivated to be better at a game so old. A lot of players are just happy with playing pub games and that's fine. But an argument can be made that people play pub games because they would rather win instead of improve and that's their prerogative. Which is definitely a factor in why this game is dying and that's probably not going to change, unfortunate as that is.
I personally don't play as much as I used to, but I still enjoy to get on and play every now and then and it is very hard to find league games. I generally have to go and play pub games, because I can't get a league game. As much as I hate BW, maybe it is better for the league to be a BW league. But we all then have to live with the fact that Brain will win every season going forward and no one stands a chance. So I'd save your money Jacek! Or this is basically Brain's personal go fund me league lol.
Korean activity and skill could potentially be a driving factor for western improvement and activity. And if it doesn't stimulate western activity it could at least motivate more Koreans to come over. We would need help from Brain, Tokki and other koreans to spread the word. For as far as I know there is no korean league for Super map and providing them with a platform could be a game changer. Also, a lot of these pubbers have the base skill to compete at the lower levels of SCW and could over time compete at the middle level. The question is how do we market the league to these people in order to draw them in. We have identified multiple problems and I think it is our job to trouble shoot.

I don’t go out of my way to bm people I don’t know, the only time I bm is when people dodge, critique my play when they couldn’t do better, or just sit in channel and pub. You in general, I had nothing against you at first. I started to dislike you when you always act like you knew everything about this game. whenever you would lose a game you blamed your part or had an excuse. Then you would obs me, to critique my game even though you have never been better than me (not bmin). I hardly have time to ever play because I have a son now and for you to talk about my life because I talk shit for fun on a game makes you a pussy. So whenever I get on I just wanna play and a lot of people dodge me even though people are always saying I suck or get carried. Lol
If that is how you interpret my past actions then I should have chosen my words more carefully to convey what I intended more accurately. I have already talked to the people who were my parts to clear up confusions. I never intended to "blame" them for a loss or to find an excuse. I tried to identify what I thought to be a mistake that could in the future be prevented by acknowledging it and sharing it with my partner. I share my own mistakes with my parts frequently and ask for advice too. If people take offense to that it is either because of their prior biases tainting their perception or my inability to share the information in a manner that prevents the potential for a misunderstanding. And considering most interactions on this game are bm, people are more likely to interpret something intended as criticism as bm because most of the time it is. They expect it to be bm. And no, I don't intend to act like I know everything. Either I misrepresented myself or you misinterpreted because of conditioned biases. In (E-)sports you have coaches and analysts, individuals who are rarely better at the activity they coach than the people whom they coach in said activity. You are fully aware the value a coach or analyst has to an athlete or a team in the process of improvement and victory. I don't have to be better than you to critique you. If you find my critique to be wrong don't take offense, instead tell me I am wrong and why I am wrong. If anything, koreans have proven we're not nearly as good as we like ourselves to be. Also, you talk shit and it's cool but I talk shit and it makes me a pussy? That's quite the double standard you apply "oh so" conveniently. You started bming me. I responded. Yes, I may have jumped to some conclusions I maybe should not have. You know the truth about your life and I don't. I'll refrain from making comments about your life. And Lastly, my comment was not about you, so don't make it about you. It was my opinion on something I observed in the community. THIS reply was about you. So unless something is specifically about you stick to the subject matter presented.

I think most of the people who used to play a lot just aren't around anymore. Remasterd made some people come back for a few weeks only.. Also, the season is considerably less active than when we had Brood war, although activity was really low even then
That is sad to hear. Do you think there is a way to interest old players or to bring over activity from Korea? For example, a BW league ran on Super Map along side the Original league? worthless to come back?
Why? You can sit here and cry about the bm all you want, but what’s helping to kill this league is people would rather pub rather than league to help increase activity. Every time I check the webbot there’s plenty people on or even when I get on people are just wanting to go bash on pubs. There’s no thrive for players to get better or play competitive.
Over excessive BM drives people apart. You can't create an environment that stimulates growth and activity if the few people in it aren't working together in one way or another to facilitate it. People are less likely to stick around or come back if their memory of the individuals is a negative one. And considering a league like this deals with a lot of individual interaction I find over excessive bm to be a negative factor. If you play someone less good than you and all you do is verbally abuse that person because of his/her inferiority in skill you scare them away. If you are a welcoming community that reaches out to help said individual grow and have a good time you create an incentive for the individual to stay. You have to invest in the players of the future, not chase them away. A lot of these pub players aren't negatively confronted with their ability when they play pubs because the assholes aren't there to verbally abuse them to the degree people in leagues do.

I like Starcraft and seeing it lack activity leaves a bad taste. We have a pretty dedicated core group that comes back every single season and plays a significant amount of matches. Kudos and respect to you. But having just a core group that's mostly occupied with individuals trying to out-do eachother when it comes to being an asshole isn't exactly an environment that facilitates growth. Part of the reason I rather quickly gave up injecting money into the UGL was because half of the people participating were just too much of an asshole. Why would I spent my money on people who care more about bullying and being assholes than try to help keep the game they love and play more than I do alive.
However, just like how the people running SCW haven't given up I feel I should give it another shot. Over the previous year I've had a lot of luck financially and I can afford to inject some time and money into Ideas people have that could help improve activity. Please tell me about your thoughts and/or ideas.

you all cry cuz this game his dead and bm people like that.what you want ?
They lack the intelligence to come to the conclusion that a toxic behavioural environment does not facilitate growth. They suffer from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissism and only care about boosting their own ego.

Hey Mark  how you been?
I’m doing good man, you? Not thinking about making a comeback are you?
I would if it was like the old days. But the activity and level of competition doesn’t seem to be enough to be worth coming back. I do miss SC though.
The top end of the competition is higher than it has ever been, mostly because Brain is the best player ever. Other top players are also very good. But as you said the activity is pretty lackluster. Only way to fix activity is to be active.

It must of been in a different thread then. All I have been trying to say is anybody can lose in FMP. He’s dominating for sure , but we do have people who’s able to beat him.
Tbh, I want to know what Defjam has to say about this himself.

I’m sorry to say but you guys are riding this guy so hard. He comes out of nowhere so people don’t know his strats or nothing. All I’m saying once people get use to how he play he will lose more. He’s gonna dominate still cause he is amazing, but he’s not unbeatable. Defjam is a monster but we have other people his skill level and better. I believe Tyga could also hang with him.

I hope for the best in regards to western players besting koreans but history has shown there's a huge gap in potential. It is only logical to place our bets on Brain over Defjam given Brain has a way more impressive track record that not even western low map pro players can match. Whatever Rabbit/tOkki does, Brain does it faster, smarter and with better accuracy. Yes the gap is closing but to which degree can it be closed?
Oh god man I forgot you’re back. You’re not understanding my points. I’m saying in FMP anybody can lose. He’s a monster I’m not taking that away, but fmp being so unbalanced any1 can lose. Don’t come back riding his dick like you use to do peter/Birdy please
To critique based on merit and demerit is no dick riding, even if the critique leans towards merit in its judgement. I have always voiced my criticisms regarding both Peter's and Birdy's playstyle. I respect their strengths and ability but I am not blind to their faults and weaknesses. Peter's early PPvPP, PTvPP and PPvPT is almost entirely centered around trying to sneak in a block. He'd always attempt it before getting an edge on the mid fight and it would often cost him the mid fight because he'd have a fewer zealot count. Please leave the dickriding non-argument out of any interactions with me. It is a discredit to yourself, not towards me. You do however raise a fair point about FMP being unbalanced on Original, more so than on BW. We'll definitely see Defjam and others beating Brain in the future. But as Western players improve and adapt to koreans, so do the koreans improve and adapt to the west. Only time will tell in this case. Also, you never mentioned anything about your argument being centered around the imbalance of FMP. Not until after I posted did you mention it. There was nothing to misunderstand as you never even mentioned it. You might want to work on your argumentation.

looking at those games, defjam beat 6 time brains' zerg ( without lurks since its on sc)... i dont think its an achievement.
zerg player ( low money ) focus on lurks almost all the time.
You’re really gonna hate on Defjam? Starcraft or brood war he’s starting to go even with him every time they play. Not to mention he has a win against his P. Defjam doesn’t nearly put in the time on this game that brain does.
I don't think Defjam's going to win another TvP against Brain though. My gut tells me Brain can play better than he's been playing.
