Excited for Anaheim! why would idra be in there? that ranking is a bit frustrating to watch with all the koreans :/ and i also don't get why they put socke at 32. i mean he is one of the 3 foreigners that managed to qualify for the pool play and on his way he beat a lot of great players he finished 2nd at the EU qualifiers for the Arena only barely losing to stephano 5-3 and then at the arena he beat for example Thorzain (who is seeded ahead of him) and he was at a huge advantage in game 2 vs DRG almost knocking the (arguably) best zerg on the planet out... and yet he is #6 amongst the foreigners that are attending behind ret (who only even qualified for arena because some of the guys in the EU qualifier couldn't attend and then didn't qualify for poolplay at the championships) and behind thorzain who he beat in the arena | ||

The chosen one, whose dedication and talent which saw him to CJ, albeit B-team, but then he was supposed to bring balance to the nations in Starcraft 2, not leave it in Korean hands. Haha so true, so true. How ironic is that, Zerg has never been stronger and yet Idra has never been weaker than he is now. | ||

Boring guess is it might be a DRG MKP final. With Stephano finishing top 8 but getting knocked out in a ZvZ or something. I wasn't surprised at all that none of the BW pros decided not to participate. | ||

Wrist issues or no, watching MKP actually play, control, macro, micro, I simply see more to like about MarineKing's play than MVPs right now. As far as not winning GSL...firstly, he sabotaged himself a little by picking Parting in his group over anyone weaker, to try and mend relations with Startale, but secondly, all the people who are saying this...I get the impression these people are the FIRST people who would say that winning one tournament doesn't prove your overall level. If MKP had won GSL, I don't believe for a second any of the naysayers would have become yaysayers. I think they'd have just switched to criticising MKPs past inconsistency, and started whining about "Well how long is he gonna stay there lolololololol" MKP has mojo nobody else does right now. Even Bonjwa don't win every single match in their calendar, nobody has any right to expect that of MKP before they'll admit he's good enough to deserve #1, even if its just a grudging acceptance of others opinions. There's certainly no way anyone can say he wouldn't be able to beat MVP in any given series. We all know that predicting an MVP 4-0 is just being way overconfident in MVPs abilities, and underestimating MKP's. Those games could be played a hundred times and it'd be close every time. Very close. Too close. And honestly, what I remember about the GSL finals was Squirtle's play. I think we all know why. I can't agree more with you. Yes MVP has always delivered results wise, but MKP is just so much more promising when you watch him play. You can tell there's untapped potential in him, you can tell he has huge nerve issues that prevent him to play at his best when he loses, whereas with MVP this is just as good as he's ever gonna get I feel. MVP is the absolute master of preparation and mindgames that's for sure, but I don't think that makes him the "best" SC2 player and certainly not a bonjwa by any mean. | ||

Great write-up. I'm cheering for a "underdog" to win. Those always make great moments to see the crowd get behind a player that hasn't had that level of success (remember Leenock?). | ||
