Always entertained by the Zealot and the articles are up to the usual TL standard.

That said I have some quibbles.

First of which would be no HongUn in the Power rank?!?! T_T What does the poor guy have to do to get some love. He's definitely going to pull off some funky immortal allin in the up and downs and remain the most innovative toss.

Kidding aside, I comment on Toss is completely and utterly off the mark. The three code S toss to make it to the Ro16 faced some pretty horrific zergs. Go look at the LR if you need convincing almost 6 sets of crap allins that night (can't remember if that includes Hero's complete lack of star sense).Then we can talk about the relative players we're talkin about; Sage who San says has the best PvZ in Korea and JYP who everyone seems to hype because he's winning (innovative yes).

Also I thought we were past 2 nights of GSTL results being evidence of some revolutionary change in tournaments. Admittedly we don't expect the toss to pull off those results so it makes it that much more spectacular, but that's the point. If Nobellese or Byun had pulled off all kills or three kills against roster players we would have shrugged our shoulders. Like as not they've stopped practicing in custom games against Toss.

If the up and downs are different this time then maybe the title is warranted. Hell if we see a different top 3 at IPL or MLG than expected then it'll be warranted.

7 terrans in top 10 holy tits, feeling bad for high level toss. Hate to bring in balance but is it that these players are insane and just happen to be terran or is terran a better race so their talent shines?

I know they are good (really really good) but one has to wonder :/

"Slayers has been dominating this tournament so far, getting five of their six players in the round of sixteen (why did you pick Bomber, Puzzle?), and Ganzi will continue the run of momentum for Boxer's men."

The part about five of six is not true, please check it again.

Four out of six. Forgive me. T____T. Writing 7,000+ words in a day is hard.
