It must suck for players like Canata who just get hyped by everyone and then the expectations for them skyrocket, and then they can't match them. I'd be kind of annoyed if I was getting ready for a match and I knew I was pretty good and could win and then I heard that a huge name had said I was the next best thing since sliced bread and suddenly a huge number of people expected me to do better than possible.

Alternatively I can see myself appreciating it. I guess it would depend, obviously.

Uh what? He made it into this OSL and in the OSL right after the one he won he finished 4th losing 3-2 to nada in the semis (and 0-3 to iris in the 3rd place games, but Iris kicks ass at TvT).

very few people hyped Garimto's comeback, everyone was pretty realistic about his chances

even those going "OMG GARIMTO COMING BACK TO OWN" were just cheering and hoping rather than actually thinking he'd come back and win a starleague or something

Man, let's never speak of Garim II again.
That shit hurt so hard when he can't even get out of prelims....
It was very painful for me to witness..
The worst part? The guys that beat him in prelims didn't even make it out....

DUDE!! For god's sake Garimto just started going back to SC at around the time the prelims started, give him a chance for seriously. You think he would win like there is no tommorow after being absent from the game as a gosu for about 3 years? Jeez
This is deos not mean that if he deos practice hard enough for a while, that he can't get into the MSL or something.

Seriously Garminto is far from being a failed anything, he was just too absent, give him some fucking time and a fucking chance.
Fascism is bad......

Why are you even posting here?

People's lives don't have to match your ideals for them to feel they've been successful and get enjoyment out of life.

OT edit:
when do you think we will actually get to see by.baby actually play in or try to qualify for one of the leagues? When he is ready do you think he will do well or fail?

Ok, I read to the third page and then just gave up. Some of you guys are idiots. Do you guys not realize there is something called the Shinhan Proleague. Anyone stating that Sea is a failed prodigy does not realize the dependability he brings to MBC's team, especially after July left. He is their number 1 player, and is outperforming Nada who is something like 12 wins and 11 losses. Sea is something like 13 wins 4 losses. Not too shabby.

Stork has performed decently, I believe he is just in a slight slump right now. Hopefully he will be back.

Canata hasn't lived up to the hype, but he also hasn't fallen flat off of a cliff and died. He can still give some results, but nothing close to what a Sea can give you.

Actually I can only think of Kos. Not even sure he was a prodigy (well he did beat me in a series LOL) but Nada and Boxer certainly made him out to be. Sure he has always been a very solid player, but when those guys say you have better metal play than them you're supposed to be on top.
