It makes sense, people are attracted to things they are deficient in
I guess Fantasy is deficient at living up to Boxer's legacy. (I joke but I'm actually crying inside, why Fantasy! )
Edit: The Zerg and Terran ones aren't too surprising, except for hipster Calm, but I wonder why all the Toss like HerO and JYP over players with more GSL success(nothing against them but MC and Squirtle do have better results).
Also SuperNoVa is a hipsters dream player because he'll forever be the most underrated Terran.
You know I honestly think if broodwar lasted longer fantasy would have eventually surpassed flash and become the best. I feel bad for soulkey, fantasy and mini they were the future broodwar stars!

Is that meant to mean that squirtle is bad?? He played so good vs mvp though, I'm kind of new to sc2.

Squirtle's success has been rather sudden and surprising and recent. I'd say that JYP's PvZ and HerO's unique style have been established earlier than when Squirtle went into beast mode. Up until the last GSL Code S season and IPL4, I saw Squirtle as an unremarkable, middling player with no real chance of a championship win. However, he seemed to have changed to a top Protoss so very quickly that I still haven't come to grips with how that happened so suddenly.

I would say that Hero/JYP's playstyle are centered around multi-tasking and harassing, which is quite appealing to BW pros. Squirtle. on the other hand, plays a extremely efficient, but dull or boring style (i.e. 2base colossus bzzbzz). He and Mc are similar in that regard that both depend on timing (attacks) and brute force their way to victory. Thats why neither of them are mentioned imo.

– I guess this isn't the time and place to go on a long diatribe about how Koreans are relatively homophobic compared to Americans, but at the same time have way, way more lax standards on what constitutes being gay.
That seems a strange thing to say about a country full of beardless men with hair that would look more appropriate on a teen pop idol.
Maybe he should have bolded the second clause for you.

Tbf Stephano, who's mentioned, plays easily as boring a style as MC and Squirtle, just with Zerg. His mid-game roach-max-to-gg ZvP is boring as hell to watch. (Though his ZvT is thankfully more interesting.)
I do agree that Squirtle and MC play more boring styles than HerO and JYP, but Squirtle's late-game positional play is pretty damn impressive. As for MC ... MC's opponents almost never reach the late-game, so we don't get to see MC's late-game much at all. :|
man this makes me wish i was in anaheim I've been following BW for so long and it's a buncha new fans from sc2 who'll mostly get to meet these heroes of mine I'm so gutted! JD!!!!!! <3
One day leta, one day progamers will play that dumb tissue game that Kpop boy bands play, and maybe just maybe, I'll get to see you accidentaly kiss another progamer. Till then, stop teasing

Haha! So good, I love it. :D
Also, is it just my impression that the BW pros seem a lot more happy and smile a lot more while at MLG? They always look so serious and unhappy when seen elsewhere in Korea.
