I see the reason as something else. A fear of something unfamiliar.
Just the facts: among the people who take prize places in lans and beyond, you won’t find a single one claiming that WOG is a myth for the self-affirmation of "old-timers" )). And their opinion is actually more significant than, for example, the opinion of Grizvald, who saw a game on SoD, quickly whipped up a wonderful toad, and then just as swiftly disappeared. Of course, there will be a couple of people who really tried it but couldn’t get into it. Their opinion deserves respect, but they are an overwhelming minority. In response, you could cite the example of Dubrovin. HW hasn’t seen bigger conservatives. In the end, he still switched from SoD... even if it was to Jebus ))) And generally, about half of the WOG players willingly and successfully play SoD. So there’s no need to throw around such offensive words ;)
Exactly. Most of the old-timers who switched to WOG back in the day haven’t even played modern SoD HD+, yet they stubbornly continue to consider it a pastime for the lower classes. If we’re talking about me, I’ve watched enough WOG streams and played in a SoD tournament. No, I only played one game. I beat Valenok. Then there was a coin flip. But that’s not the point. I didn’t develop any desire to play WOG further. Neither WOG under SoD, nor especially full-WOG.
Well, I’ll repeat myself once again. I am not a “true SoD player.” I acknowledge that WOG has successful features. Moreover, I really want these features to appear in SoD HD+ sooner or later. I just absolutely do not understand the categoricalness and, forgive me, the “stubbornness” of the community of the strongest players.
