On the subject of Shine hate, my personal feeling is that I don't want one-trick ponies to be around towards the end. Not that I don't like cheeses, as I was as thrilled as anyone whenever someone gets Kwanrrooled. But players like Kwanro, go.go, Horang2 with their cute tricks aren't the players I want to see in a Bo5. I want to see players who are well-rounded.
In this OSL for instance, I actually prefer someone like Hyuk over Shine. Hyuk, for all the crap we give him, plays incredible late game with great army control and decision-making when he doesn't... well, hyuk himself. You can actually find great games from him. And by great I don't mean making lots of mutas and hoping the opponent doesn't expect it.

i vouch this. additionally, when shine beat stork on that stupid ice map outsider remake with 98-style 100000 mutas, he was abusing the retardedness of the map to its fullest. imagine how much more epic this osl had been if the finals was flash vs stork instead of flash vs pvz-onematchupspecialist movie.
