lmfao i can't believe how many people are hating on hydra. he did the smartest fuckin thing possible, helped his buddy out and made epic matches. there is zero guarantee that JD/Flash/Bisu would have met in higher brackets (esp with Bisu's luck). if anything i am MORE of a hydra fan after this. i'm just so astounded that people are disliking him for this ahha

A lot of fans are Flash, JD, and Bisu fans, and they hate to now have to think about seeing them in real danger of being eliminated in the GROUP stages. Since Great and Hydra were the ones who put them there, they're going to get a lot of hate.

Hey, if you didn't like the way this went, cheer on your progamer to win the MSL and get them back himself.

i can't either. in fact, the amount of hate he has generated has instantly propelled him to being one of my favourite progamers. i needed to replace the sadly retired kwanro with someone in my sig anyway

'Dear' vehemently stated that "I will crush 'fantasy', it's not a big deal at all to beat him all you have to do is defend against his vultures." soon after hearing this 'fantasy' turned red, showing his distaste for the comment, and Dear's comments shocked the crowd.
LOL
A new rivalry in the making indeed.

This is what the MSL commentators had to say about the group selection:

I wonder if the laughter is one of genuine joy or one of resignation.

As a fan of only Flash in particular, I'm still disgusted if you swap Flash with, say, Light or any other very good player. There is absolutely no way that the tournament will be any better with 2 of these 4 players guaranteed to not make it through. Hydra's probably my least favorite progamer -- he already won an absolutely terrible MSL and now he's doing his best to create a second completely awful MSL.

I don't understand why people hate Group D. I think it's gonna be one EPIC showdown. Instead of them getting eliminated early and robbing us those godlike matchups in later rounds (see. Bisu) this is just perfect opportunity to see who has the best nerves and abilities to pull this off. IIRC, there was a group in OSL which had Bisu, Flash, Stork and July.. this is as epic as that one, if not better.

If flash/jaedong/bisu/sea done same to hydra and great don't think someone would even complain. Come on guys, they have done what they are allowed to. And I am acctually still tired of JvF finals so may be now they have to play not more then one game which is much better then seeing them again in Bo5 where they always are oblidged to show some mind games with mass lurker drops on turrets, ugly falling to pool9 with supply barrack, lotsa 14 CC games and 2 pool4 in a row.

I may be a kt fan and support flash but I like to see a strong msl finish with the big names TBLS but now my dreams have been shattered thanks to sour puss HYDRA and GREAT. As a flash fan I always wanted flash to win but not like this when Bisu and Jaedong are in the same group this not only makes the chances of Flash,Jaedong , Bisu getting eliminated we will probably see a repeat of last year msl finals ? Maybe a ZVZ again thanks to him . To be honest I like bisu T_T i wanted to see him in the ro8 versus flash rather than an early group stage . Good luck bisu and jaedong plus here is hoping flash will deliver the goods . HYDRA ANTI FAN FROM NOW ON !!!! GRRRRRRRR

Your signature fits this situation perfectly I think.

You know for all of the talk about how hydra has 'ruined' the MSL. Let's not forget that there has never been an MSL where TBLS all made it out of group stages (unless my research was wrong).

Looks like there is for Hydra. Just took the detour around one of the best players in the world.
There is but one truth.

Epic showdown of Bo1s? Don't make me laugh -.- Good players have to play Bo5s against each other, that's what the whole SLs are about.
