Spoils the groups, so don't read on if you don't know and want to look them up first

Hydra is possibly my new favourite player. Here are a selection of reasons why:

Hydra literally buried MBC's hopes of good ratings this MSL by putting 3 of TBLS in one group, where at least 1 will be eliminated.

Good going, douchebag.

As reasonable a choice as it was for him to put 4 of his biggest competitors for a title in the same group, I'm still absolutely disgusted about how much worse the Ro16 will be because of this and I've now got a distaste for Hydra.

I may be a kt fan and support flash but I like to see a strong msl finish with the big names TBLS but now my dreams have been shattered thanks to sour puss HYDRA and GREAT. As a flash fan I always wanted flash to win but not like this when Bisu and Jaedong are in the same group this not only makes the chances of Flash,Jaedong , Bisu getting eliminated we will probably see a repeat of last year msl finals ? Maybe a ZVZ again thanks to him . To be honest I like bisu T_T i wanted to see him in the ro8 versus flash rather than an early group stage . Good luck bisu and jaedong plus here is hoping flash will deliver the goods . HYDRA ANTI FAN FROM NOW ON !!!! GRRRRRRRR

Just because you ZvZ lucked your individual title doesn't mean you can fuck with BW. I'm now an anti-fan of Hydra. I hope he gets mauled by a bear or something.




And that's just a selection of some of the more personal stuff, ignoring that which just calls him an idiot tactically etc. For this level of hate to come forthwith from fanboys of all persuasions requires the spark of an absolute genius, and we haven't even played any matches yet. Group D will produce such epic matches, and the meltdown of at least one of the larger group of TL fanbases. If Sea goes through, which I really hope he does, TL might actually crash through qqing. This is actually better because every game is going to be so ridiculously intense. Besides, how often does a Flash/Jaedong final actually deliver? The last few have seen cheesefests, 3-0 roflstomps and decent before power outages into don't give a fuck 8rax oh shit it didn't work gg, only Bigfile was actually decent. As for a Bisu final, I can't actually remember the last one, so long ago it was. The concentration of such quality in such a small space of time is unlikely to be seen again, so let's enjoy what we get.

As for what'll happen:

+ Show Spoiler [Expert Predictions] +
A: Light/Tyson winners match, think that Hydra is fucked, especially if Light's TvP starts to fail again

B: great and Leta through without thinking too much about it.

C: I'd really like to say Horang2 but no Protoss possibility makes it tough, Zero and Ruby?

D: Don't care as long as Sea qualifies, although he probably won't. Seriously too tough to call

E: Stork ezpz, probably free as well

F: Fantasy should get through, then it's just ZvZ so who knows, they're all competent enough at it. Probably Roro on recent form/avoiding Fanta in first game?

G: LOL. Snow and, idk, hero? At least he only has to practice one matchup and isn't that bad vP

H: Pretty close, Kal should get there, then it's a toss up between the rest. I'd like to say Really, but Shine could Shine, Reality not been doing too bad recently either

It's depressing because we lose TLBS or most of them in the group stages.


I among most other would much rather see them beat the shit out of eachother in a BoX series.

Hydra probably had his troll face on when he made the moves, using his last move to swap Bisu and Sea... within the same group.

2/3rds of Group D was actually made by Great. What do I mean by that? Hydra and great were in cahoots with one another in creating this group. Therefore, Please don't pour hate into Hydra alone please. I personally like hydra and great more now for creating such drama and controversy. Stirring passion like this is always good, even if the one who stirred it gets caught in the firestorm.

This pretty much summed it up

I'm not saying the group will not produce entertaining games, it's just better to see MORE entertaining games

Hydra had 3 chances to make changes and he should have spent at least 1, if not 2, making his own path to the Ro8 easier. Should have moved Light out and maybe make a change to group E. Can't touch Stork but FBH, Mind and Free all have very good vZ. That would have been a smarter thing to do.

Hahahaa I thought it was hilarious what Hydra did. I only wish that he put Stork in for Sea, mainly because I wanted to see TBLS in an elimination group, and that I don't want Sea to lose

But yea, the fanboy rage will be delicious -- wonder if it will approach GSL LRs in terms of ban counts.

oh man seriously, WHAT AN ANNOYING thing to do to all the TBLS fans.
But enough crying and throwing shit and flame-balls, it's done, we can't change it now, let's just all get hyped about the potential for some awesome games, the rare fact that Flash even has to go through this formality with a scratch, and all remember that overall, THIS INCREASES FANTASY'S CHANCES OF WINNING so honestly I'm kinda for it (trollface)

Hydra has such balls of steel...

People ignore that he used ZERO of his three moves on his own group... he hand gifted his teammates Leta and Snow easy groups and then used his last switch to switch Sea and Bisu rather than give himself an easy group.

Why are we spoiling everything? It's kind of stupid to click this thread in the first place if you don't want the groups spoiled...

Anyway, wow am I going to be in the fanboy minority on Group D's night.
