I think there's a good chance it's gonna happen. I'd say backho 30% - 70% best. Hmm I guess 30% technically means unlikely so it probably depends on your definition of unlikely. Let's put it like this: I would not be the least bit surprised if Backho won. Just wondering by the way, does anyone know if the RO8 will consist of bo5's or bo3's? Bo3's would be so gay. | ||

He's seeded into the OSL, so he doesn't have to play many games there. As a BeSt fan I am far more worried about him having to play Bisu or Flash after he owns sKyHigh - either of those two would be a huge challenge, and the winner of that match is a shoo-in to take the whole tourney. How awesome would BeSt - Flash be? It's the macro matchup we've been dying to see every OSL, but Flash keeps losing to Zergs  . BeSt's insane PvT record lately adds to the drama, as does the fact that if BeSt did meet Flash, it would be an opportunity for him to avenge Bisu. | ||

EVERYWHERE on tl where backho is mentioned people dislike him, like people did with fbh when he just made it big. What's wrong with backho? How is he even any different from free or much? Sure he isn't as spectacular as bisu or jangbi, or as accomplished as stork, but seriously what's the deal with him? With his track record I would think that he would have quite a fanbase by now. I agree with the haircut though, backho has one of the worst haircuts Ive ever seen lol that's the first thing I thought when I saw him, how hard is it to spend 20 dollars on a haircut and 2 dollars for some gel. | ||

With his track record I would think that he would have quite a fanbase by now. BackHo has no particular style or personality but a history of eliminating fan favorites and then proceeding to embarrass himself in subsequent matches. See EVER08 OSL, where he beat Casy, Jaedong, Much, Bisu, and JangBi and then went on to play one of the worst semifinals in OSL history against July, losing 1-3 in a map pool that included Troy. Keep in mind that there's a distinction between hate and friendly prodding, and I'd say that the difference between FBH and BackHo is that more people at TL actually hate FBH (most people who appear as BackHo "haters" are merely poking fun at him because it's so easy - he has to be one of the goofiest, dumbest progamers around). BackHo is just the type of player who will make you whack your forehead in disbelief on a regular basis. | ||

BackHo is just the type of player who will make you whack your forehead in disbelief on a regular basis. lol I didn't think the Backho vs July games were that bad at all, July owned the shit out of Best just as badly, in games where I thought that July was playing even better than he did against backho. Maybe my protoss knowledge is just THAT bad but I never see backho making any terrible mistakes that make me shake my head. Only protoss player who really does that is the Rock and it only makes him more awesome. And how are casy and much fan favorites lol, much is kinda cool because he's such an old dude but come on, fan favorite? This brings up my next question actually, why do people like Casy? Have I been living under a rock the last 2 years? When has casy ever done something noticable, or played in a way that distinguishes himself as a terran from people like pepe/frozean/lomo/go.go. | ||

BeSt[HyO] losing GOM-Classic.His PvT is becoming like his PvP.BTW i like BackHo's Style, very aggressive and much micro.He deserved it >>> Stork.In OSL he lost game to Stork. But watch that game. He killed about 50-60 probes.His multitasking was in more than S-class level. GG | ||
