Since when was Huk in a slump? This really floors me. The OP describes Huk as being in a slump, and for what? For losing to imMVP, one of the greatest players in the world? For staying in Code S? If we want to talk slumps, Jinro is in a slump, stuck at the moment in Code B (but I bet we'll see him in Code S quarter finals again!). You can't say somebody's in a slump because they haven't been number uno in a tournament recently, or then 99.9% of all players in the world are in slumps at any given moment of time. Huk got 7th place in the last two MLG's (correct me if I'm wrong), which I think is pretty damn good considering the increased Korean presence in MLG.
Or... was the OP being sarcastic and I just completely missed it? The world doesn't spin around MLG. He did bad/terrible at IEM and Assembly, losing to MVP in the GSL is no shame and no one calls him slumping because of that, but you also can't say he isn't because, well, he lost ^^... Probably it was his travel shedule, we'll see  .
I did not know about IEM and Assembly, thanks.
I gotta admit, I got flustered there. Surprised by my own fanboyism =/

Great writeup, love it. Nice interview with nani too~
|
. I think this is better because if you are together with too many people you know for a long time you easily end up having too much fun
Spoken like a true nerd. Respect

Awesome Hero vs Idra!!! cant wait :D
|
no way anybody is going to "crush" lucifron, he really has some unbelievable TvZ, i saw that games in ESL cup you mentioned, but.... its DRG... man im really looking forward to that match, lets see if one of the best EU TvZ'er can do anything against a korean boss.
awesome writeup as always, thx!

Superb writeup and love the interview by Naniwa, truly admire the dedication...
I really hope he never loses that passion and fire.
|
Wow, naniwa's interview was so depressing. Can't believe he actually let himself say those things. Not just the being protoss is suffering stuff, I mean, that's reasonable, but he's getting himself down and his attitude is just not a winners one. He says he's gonna stay in korea but he says this?
Hm, as my mindset is right now I don't feel good about my chances in anything, but if I can fix it, I think I have a reasonable chance against anyone as long as I practice hard and don't get demotivated by seeing every protoss lose every game in every tournament around me.
That's just so depressing and self-deprecating.

Those Previews are always so huge and impressive. I really love them, thanks for all the hard work <3

I don’t think that’s what any real fan would want, and I’m not asking for my own personal couch (but while we’re at it...), but I do think that DreamHack does need to recognize that the live event is evolving. It's growing. You can’t just put the personalities in a room with the fans and let them run the show anymore. And while I'm at it, if you’re going to merge the worlds largest LAN with a championship caliber eSports event, the two need to become one; they cannot be separate. The live show must exceed what we can make real online, and every attendee needs to be able to say, “Man, you should’ve been there.”
Love the write-up and I agree to some extent about DreamHacks Summer event. But in your write-up you talk about Valencia Invitational in comparison with DreamHack Summer when this instead should be compared with DH Invitational in Stockholm.
All that you hope that DreamHack will do actually happened at DH Invitational Stockholm which was kind of a trend-setter regarding quality, live audience etc. for other tournaments.
The really interesting thing is if they can step it up from that? That would be more fair because I'm pretty sure that this will be a looot better live spectating as well as broadcasting than DreamHack Summer.

Nani staying in Korea is actually a HUGE news
Good luck to all the players
|

|
That Naniwa interview gets you pretty pumped.
|
Glad that Naniwa got a spot in the MVP teamhouse
|
Naniwa is pretty bad is, in general.
Go Thorzain and Naniwa, sweden hwating!
|
"And I prefer Korean girls by far"
Naniwa, I'm disappoint.
And why were you talking about DH summer and not the other invitational?
|
Nice writing, HerO will take this trophey ! (then make it to Code S eventually^^)
|
I hope Naniwa destroys Rain just so he can boost his confidence

Lucifron more likely to take a game from drg than it is for idra to take one from hero? Hah.
Lucifron is scarely good. Watched him beating MaNa and Nerchio. I think if he meet IdrA, theres a high chance there would be a RQ in 5-10 min... anyway, gl to both against Korean Pros!

LucifroN is really really good, but DRG is a Terran destroyer. Can be good games, but after I saw DRG vs MMA on Meta... holy fuck. Good luck to LucifroN.
