So what about this Lee Sedol?
http://gosensations.com/index.php?id=2&server_id=4&new_id=569
Does Lee Sedol have two accounts, or is there some confirmation that this former account is or is not Lee Sedol?
One can be left somewhat "confused". Although the games are enjoyable to watch, without being certain what is speculation and what is not, how are we to get excited by these "sensations"?
With that account it is the same as this one. Gosensations write "is this Lee Sedol?" and in the next article they write "Lee Sedol vs. player x" as if they know. It is written in a very absolute manner.
Suddenly this other "might be Lee Sedol" account shows up and one is left to wonder about the last one.
For all I know both of the accounts are Lee Sedols and Dinerschteins speculations are grounded on a very solid base. But if this formula gets repeated to many times, it is hard to get worked up.
As I said earlier, speculation is fine, as long as it is written as speculation all throughout, and maybe write some more what you base these speculations on when you write why you believe it to be Lee Sedol or whatnot. That would be really interesting, and one could much more easily get exited. Instead I sit here with uncertainty.

I already showed most secrets I knew about real pros on Go servers. That info was 100% correct, because I saw them myself.
I am in Russia now and it's getting harder to get 100% correct info. Have to guess sometimes, or follow Korean writers on Tygem or Korean forums.

You should not take this so serious Mata. ;) I hardy think Dinerschtein found this offensive. I rather think he finds it funny, as any man with a sense of self-irony would.
Oh, and I would not have commented it based just on what Dinerschtein writes here.
And I do believe that the people running this site likes feedback from the viewers. And my "4 cents" is that I would like things based more on facts, sensations or not.
And I like to read about people going 54-0 as much as anybody. But speculation should be written as speculation. It would be very nice to read about _why_ he thinks it is Lee Sedol, not just _that_ he thinks it is Lee Sedol. Is there anything with his playing style? Any moves in particular?

Incredible game!
Imperator: read the title of this website's url. goSENSATIONS.com. It's not a scientific paper. Besides, how can anything be more exciting or **sensational** than an undefeated player with a 54-0 record, going by the mysterious name of "alone"? Also, speculating that player is x is pro y has nothing to do with what you call "fanboi"ism. Your English needs a lot of work.

Dinerschtein has become such a "fanboi". I see several people noticing his constant tendency to speculate that player x is pro y on server z.
No offence of course. But personally I prefer fact over speculation. Or else you never know what is true or speculation.
When one goes from writing "probably" and the next match featured here it just sais "Lee Sedol". It can be as 99% as you like, it is still speculation, and it should be stated as such or back facts up with some sort of reference.
Just my 4 cents.
