I found most zerg players boring to watch, Shine and Kwanro all the way!
No I'm never serious.

Shine hopefully to play tonight! Should be on BW if I'm not mistaken.

I figured I'd bump this up a wee bit now instead of after his game so I don't get accused of spoiling games. Win for Khan!

edit: Game happened, he played vs Tyson on Electric Circuit

He won in the Shiniest of ways. "Hydras! More Hydras!"

I was always indifferent towards Shine. People dislike him not only for his cheesy playstyle, but also due to the means in which his matches play out. They're very unsatisfying and you end up feeling more frustrated with Shine's opponent than impressed with his actual gameplay. But even so, I'm a firm proponent of playing to your strengths. If you don't have the skill to survive the late game, then by all means, do whatever you can to end the game as quickly as possible. After all, cheesing isn't against the rules.

My opinion, however, changed during Shine's second game against Flash in the OSL. For those of you who are unaware, Shine requested a PPP due to keyboard issues, which later resulted in a regame.

There were only two possible explanations for that incident: 1) His keyboard had malfunctioned all game long, but Shine decided to keep it quiet as it wasn't affecting his gameplay (too much), or 2) in an incredible stroke of luck and miraculous timing, his keyboard decided to malfunction only after he completely botched the game and was obviously going to lose. Yeah, that... totally could have happened. He should have requested a PPP at the start of the game or waited until after the game ended.

But either way, Shine should not have accepted a regame. He should have done the honorable thing and conceded a loss. He should have known that such a bullshit decision was likely to affect Flash's mentality. But then... that's probably why Shine did it to begin with . We all know Shine is a very smart player. Do you really think he requested a PPP with good intentions? Like, fixing a minor keyboard issue was somehow going to get him back into the game? And the game file getting corrupted was also totally a coincidence. Eeee yeeeaah...

Anyone remember Power Outage vs. Flash and Jaedong in the NATE MSL? The outcome of that game was also predictable. It was pretty clear that Jaedong had a solid advantage, but the KeSPA refs were unsure as to whether they should do a regame or give Jaedong the win. During the commotion Flash was stressed and insisted on a regame, but what did Jaedong do? He showed his true colors and class by telling the refs that he actually didn't feel comfortable with being awarded a win.

Yeah, that's the difference between a scrub like Shine and a genuinely talented, honest player like Jaedong. If you dig Shine for his cheesy cheesiness, great! But if anything, you should totally hate Shine more after that bullshit stunt.

If you're going to hate a player for him getting a regame after a convenient and well timed equipment failure, then you'll find you have to hate a lot of players. EffOrt and Flash spring to mind.

I don't want to hate him less... because I don't hate him, nor do I like him, nor do I love him. I just don't care for him. As such this post doesn't pertain to me does it?

...I feel left out

Ah, probably should have read the intro, the conclusion, some of the parts in the middle, or some of the comments. A lot of people feel pretty indifferent towards Shine and that's been mentioned more times than I care to count.

Ugh, Effort... To this day I doubt him... The game was out of hand, and a minute or so later he claims there's a problem with his mouse. Could be legitimate, but watching that VOD (and live), I just....

Also, to the haters of Shine

"Shine: You Should Totally Hate Him Slightly Less"

is a poor title. It assumes negativity.

Should be "Shine: You Should Totally Love Him"

Agreed, I'm totally disappointed in my title. Put like 5-6 hours into writing the thing and then hurt it by spending 6 seconds on the title T_T

Actually, the title is kinda funny in a way. Shine has such cheesy play so who wouldn't hate him? It's also funny to see this getting bumped so often.

The only thing you need to know about Shine's TvZ is his that he beat Flash with a hidden offensive nydus canal.

In seriousness, I love Shine, and he has proved to be great for Khan.

AFTER tilting the hell out of Flash with a disconnect/corrupt replay, regame. God that series was funny
