Just gotta say that's technically not, "the other way around".

Let's just clear this up.

Goody is Cloud's nemesis. Goody always beats Cloud.
Nerchio is Goody's nemesis. Nerchio always beats Goody.

Only thing missing is Cloud starting to destroy Nerchio, make it happen!

Agreed. Plenty of other things he's written that I've enjoyed, just not this. He's great.

Enjoyed the read, and especially the Cloud podcast.
Cloud's an amazing real person who doesn't fear to speak his mind, respect for that.

It was a great tournament showcasing what small tourneys should be all about.
I really enjoyed Grubby's casting.
I feel that iNcontroL's casting brought more legitimacy to some of the odd casting pairs. Although he didn't post good results he really shined on the casting couch. I don't know if the "treading water" label fits considering his quality casting.
I'm probably one of the few that thought that the MC-MKP casting was cute the first go around but afterwards just was overall boring. I don't get why Cloud got so much hate regarding his casting...it was better than MC-MKP IMO....

Waxangels write up here was pretty bad in my opinon, compared to the others.

I disagreed with him on who should be on the win list. Grubby performed better than any foreigner at the tournament, and was incredibly close to beating sound, his performance wasn't really noted much on the win list, just mainly how good he was at casting, why would you wish him to go to casting when he is showing some of the most promise of any players in Europe right now.

ViOlet was also incredibly impressive and you'd be hard pressed to find faults in his play, i was really shocked to not see him mentioned either.

Also, the MoMan-incontrol jab was just unnecessary.,

I like Grubby as does everybody else but still best foreigner at HSC 4?
He did well and showed nice games but Dimaga and Nerchio imho were a level above him.

As Mr. Bitter said HSC4 was hands down the best major tournament in 2012 so far . Great write- up. Personally I would add Ret to the losers as well. I really expected a lot more from him given that he trainend (and streamed) a lot before the tournament. Maybe the lesson learned is that you don't play NA ladder in preparation for a tournament.

I have a feeling that Grubby is on his way up and will shine in 2012. Watch out for him!

I would like to include Mr. Bitter in the winners list. He wasn't a player but he always filled a gap when there was downtime or another caster was needed. He was there from the very beginning to the end for 15 hours each day without any sign of slowing down or lack of interst. Any employee would love this kind of dedication. The same goes for Rotterdam. But in contrast to Mr. Bitter, Rotterdam sometimes while not on purpose overstepped the thin line of being funny and rude (eg Mr. Bitters girl friend thing).

Cloud was great! Thank you, but please post some results, you are one of the most deserving players to have a breakthrough moment. DO NOT CHOKE!

Great casters: HasuObs and NightEnd! Hasu always tried to incorporate shy guys with questions and gave some beautiful insight, while NightEnd was always right on the money, even when Hasu had it wrong.

I think the only looser in HSC4 is Wax Article.
The imature level and trivial content in it made it hard for me to read, it's just ridiculous and very bad written.
Obviously Grubby, Cloud etc. deserves a spot in the so called "Winners", but you fail to pin point one of the most important things: Take and the HSC Crew. If you want to promote ESports, tournaments and the Game, you cannot simply put "Like, Duh." it is really childish but oh well, it might be easier to mention Moman like you did?
You speak of "Marketing", yet you downgrade the image of people in your post. Not to mention the part you gathered all the casters and branded them as "Anyone who casted". You fail yet again to even mention their names.
As for Hero thing i would just say, like you did.."Like, duh". Maybe (MAYBE) you will understand it....or not. I might pick the second option.

"I don't care if MC is speaking English or Korean, talking about his girlfriend or saying how Phoenixes are imba imba, I just love seeing as much MC as I can."

when has MC ever called any protoss unit imba? Every other unit in the game yes, Protoss units no.

He did last year with the infamous "penix imba" comments, was quite funny. I believe at least one of the times was at IEM3 on stage. Could be wrong my memory is a bit fuzzy, I just know it was at one of the big tournies.
