Flash is just as decorated, and jaedong almost as much. That statement kind of annoys me. Haha, no. Maybe because of the eat or be eaten nature of the ESPORTS world, the fans of the present only remember the MSL and OSLs as the majors, and perhaps they deserve to be because of their perseverance and legacy. But Nada won numerous other competitions that featured the best pro-gamers of the time and significant prize purses, which just didn't survive as long as the illustrious SL duo. The Premiere League, and GemTV tournaments come immediately to mind. Flash and Jaedong won lots of stuff outside of OSL/MSL too like WCG and the GOMTV classics. Maybe in raw numbers they haven't won as much as Nada but it's not their fault they didn't have as many tournaments to win. Is Usain Bolt less decorated then Michael Phelps because he only won 3 olympic gold medals in Beijing vs Phelps' 8? yeah, by definition michael phelps is more decorated than bolt. I think that's what I'm going for here :o
Exactly. "More decorated" has absolutely no correlation with "better," or anything else at all. NaDa has won more tournaments than Flash has. It may not be Flash's fault that he has fewer tournaments to win, but that changes nothing. NaDa is the more decorated player, which is all that was claimed.

Well if that's the definition of the word 'decorated' then I guess I can't argue with that. It just sounds weird for me to say that MC is more decorated than Nestea or Goody is more decorated than MVP.

Only one Korean in this tournament? That sounds like a lucky break for all the competitors, until they realize that it's NaDa. BoxeR showed why he earned and deserved the title of bonjwa at MLG Anahiem. Now is the time for NaDa to show why he belongs to the lineage of bonjwas.
|
Really looking forward to this!
|
My heart says NaDa... But somewhere deep in my brain I feel that he will disappoint and lose to someone you should not lose to... 
|
poor merz all they talk about is his apm and never his great skills or solid play. merz fighting!
|
Wow really impressed by this preview. Well done everyone.
|
|
|
players for hipsters lmao, nice writeup
|
Typo? Lalush is sweden's #3 zerg after Morrow/Haypro.
|
Hmm my predictions are easy wins by known players although there might be some upsets. NaDa is gonna get gold and HuK/Sen at 2nd or 3rd. Dimaga might pull something, but he hasn't been that kinda top notch to beat a NaDa
|
This is going to be Awesome !
 Happy: Whatever. This guy is top ten in TLPD ELO if you exclude Koreans. You don't do that without taking a lot of names.
That Marine Split is sooooo insane! I'm smiling every time I see it! Gogo Happy!
|
Awesome preview! Btw Seiplo is from sweden not finland 
|
Huk, Nada, Sen and Dimaga are my favourites to win the tournament.
