I feel so bad for Iris. I like Calm, and am rooting for him against Kwanro, but I would have loved to have seen Iris finally get an individual title. Oh well.

It just boggles the mind to think that whichever player wins will suddenly be more accomplished than both Fantasy and BeSt.

There is no justice in this world.


I hope you're referring to Kwanro and not Calm.


I love Calm, but he has yet to reach Fantasy or pre-slump BeSt levels of skill, and both of them have come so close to winning only to fall short.


I would say that this MSL yes he has. Even his stats this year are better than fantasy's. (and very comparible to Best from beginning of 2008 to right before getting 3-0ed by July).

assuming he wins this MSL, he's at least arguably the best player outside JD/bisu/flash (completely equal with effort/fantasy/stork).

You shouldn't dismiss Mind like that. He really blossomed in that MSL and is still wemade's ace (although now it's mostly because there's really no one else to depend on). His road to the finals was no joke, he had to beat oov, savior and bisu back when they were all monsters.

But yeah, kwanro really doesn't feel like finalist material to me.

Clam = water based creature.

Lighting > water.

So Kwanro > Calm.

Makes sense.

well, every first time winner who wasn't very accomplished (Mind, Luxury, etc) are judged by how they perform after their first win. and Mind basically accomplished nothing since his MSL win, so he's definitely a "flop" winner.

I hope that kwanro takes it, just so that he can essentially pick up the msl sync award. calm has staying power, but kwanro imo doesn't

maybe he's referring to just this season

bisu has consistantly been just good enough to continually get cheesed out of chances to win.

I think Luxury was far more accomplished than mind was before they won their tittles. 2 OSL semis, indisputable #2 Zerg for a year, arguably best ZvT, etc.

+ Luxury totally totally totally deserved his title, super respectable run: hwasin, leta, zero (who before losing to lux has fucking amazing ZvZ), jangbi (well maybe he always sucked at PvZ and we only found out after the finals). Not that you said anything about his run (or minds for that matter, who probably had an even tougher run in his MSL), but I just wanted to re-emphasize to people who think last MSL was a joke. Only the finals sucked.

it is quite a shame that this season the wcg korea tournament produced about the same amount of entertaining and memorable games as gom, osl and msl together....
