I've actually started to warm up to Shine a little bit, mostly because i feel sorry for the kid - he really doesn't deserve the hate of so many people just because he knocked out some of our favorite players. That is his job after all, to go try to win any way he can. I don't particularly like his playstyle, but he seems like a good person. I was rooting for Movie tonight, but I wasn't doing it because I hate Shine, it was because I like Movie.

sadly, it does look like he's going to go the way of type-b. The poor guy looked so sad after he lost

his play was horrible in all 4 games tonight, even the game he won he had it in the first 8 minutes then almost somehow lost it again... you point out the fact that he went 5 hatch hydra in games 2-4, but in game 2 he failed to win after scourging movie's first speed shuttle, which is super crucial, then almost managed to lose game 3 despite a huge advantage, then getting utterly destroyed in game 4... These games didnt look like osl semi-finals, they looked like some S-class playing a random no namer in pro-league, I dont understand how a couple of all-in wins against good players make so many people think this guy is going to be huge in the future, lots of people have gotten to osl quarters/semis then faded out of existance, i doubt he'll be any different -.-


totally agreed.

well maybe except for the fade away part. If he sticks with it, going all in everygame is so retardedly effective for zvp. A trained monkey could do it and and still win games

here, here

Although I love Movie, I don't hate Shine. He's a young SC player who's just realizing what life is all about so the hate on him is a bit exaggerated.

He needs to work on his gameplay though. All I've seen from him vs. Stork and Movie is crazy aggressive builds. I can't imagine him in a late game ZvT. Flash for example would devourer him. He would consume him like a defiler consumes a zergling.

If he works on his game, there is no reason he can't be the next best zerg. What I've seen so far can be summed up in one word - lazy. Because being good at SC is hard.

So work hard young cerebrate - and best wishes in the future.

I don't get what's with all the Shine hate? The guy's a sincerely good kid. He plays so hard. How can you not root for him when he plays for his grandmother (who watches every game of his)?

Granted he didn't play the best, he's still a good guy. No need to hate just because he knocked Bisu, Stork, etc. out.

As for his play, it's really fun to watch. His various styles are fun to watch. Could use a little more work on his mechanics, but his style is really exciting. Various openings as opposed to 5 hatch hydra every game.


Because he's really not that good.

HE doesn't have various styles, he has ONE style. All out aggression. Aggression is nice to watch sometimes but it's also fun to watch a long macro game... where Shine fails. Kwanro learned how to macro and look where that got him.

I dont have much to say about Shine, but I was looking through the old Power Rankings and found this on Flash.

08/01/2007

"After his uninspired performances against GGPlay and Stork, one might have thought that Flash was nothing but hype. I, for one, don’t think much of his late-game management—or even his mid-game management."

Just wanted to post this somewhere haha. 2 years ago but funny to see anything negative about Flash, especially concerning his management. Slightly fits in with Shine because of hype talk.

It doesnt really fit in. Flash might not have been a beast in mid to late game management, but at least he could manage. Shine has ridiculously bad defiler control and lategame management, for example

Anyone who was ever good at anything, was bad at it at some point.

He's still relatively young in progaming terms, and it's up to him how his career continues.

Just like the coach said about Movie: "he has to make a decision, to become great, or to be an average protoss." something along those lines.
