There is a wrong information on this article.

MVP is the fourth player that come back from 0-2 to 3-2 victory (vs Ganzi)

It was the GSL Team Ace Invitational finals which held in Busan G-star Bexco convention center
(GSL Season 3 fianl also will be held in Busan city)

It was officially televised match on Gomtv and the prize was $10,000.
(higher than all of the come-back victory mentioned above)

Therefore Seed is the sixth player in GSL history to record that victory.


Thx always to WaxAngel, the Korean named Woo Ghwang hee in New york city.
LG-IMSeed, the Upcoming Protoss Executor.

As much as I want Naniwa to perform well, and will do better than the TL predictions, DRG should still sneak out with a victory.

NesTea should easily clinch the victory against Byun, however

""The Terran race had prospered for two years. With their commander Mvp at the helm, they ruled over the GSL. Stacks of cash were wheeled in daily for all the Terran players who were in Code S. Trophies were used as paperweights, and tears were used to fill their pools. For the Zerg and Protoss, everything seemed hopeless.

The world has changed. The once prosperous Terran lands have scorched by colossus fire and covered in roaming overlords. The once mighty commander Mvp lost both wrists in battle and fell early in the GSL war. His faithful right-hand man, MarineKing, took an ultralisk to the knee and succumbed to the new dominance of Zerg and Protoss.

Left and right the Terran players continue to fall. Even the most experienced and talented Terran warriors cannot withstand the new, powerful armies of the Zerg and Protoss races. Supernova, Taeja, Jjakji, MMA, Polt, and the rest weren't able to hold on, getting swallowed up by their opponents.

All looked lost. MC had slain Taeja in the quarterfinals and marched his way to the semifinals. DongRaeGu, Nestea and the rest laughed at the now fallen Terran race and thought it was a pity that there none left to prey upon. A new age had started, with the once powerful and all-conquering Terrans all but wiped out.

Except for one.

One Terran left to take on the unconquerable odds. No, he does not have four championships like Mvp. No, he does not have the millions of fans of MarineKing. The man left to represent the Terran race is unfamiliar, a bit eccentric, and just coming off a suspension due to an innocuous mistake. With only his faithful puppy beside him, he faces the task of preventing the worst season in Terran history. This new hero must brave the terrible maps for his race and take down the best players Protoss and Zerg have to offer.

He is Bleach, Excrement, Byun, GhostKing, Byun. He is the Last Terran.""


This is why i Love TL.net ;D
Im thinking of framing this story - Damm im ready for this

Naniwa fighting!
He can win if DRG underestimates him and starts trying funny stuff(he said in an interview that he can do anything to win so...)

ill never forget naniwas bm i hate that guy

It's people like you that make me scratch my head sometimes. :/

Apparently hate isn't a very strong word or he just really doesn't like a little bit o' bm.

I honestly don't know who I want to win in Naniwa vs. DRG!! Love 'em both! I mean, Naniwa is a foreigner, has sick micro, and has to get revenge on DRG. On the other hand, DRG is super cute, makes me laugh, and has done terrible things to Protoss in the past.

Fionn, you are brilliant and made me laugh, thank you.
"Took an Ultralisk to the knee..." has the potential to be for Terran what the sad Zealot was for Protoss...

Gogo Byun ! I love the storyline of this match. Congrats Fionn, that's one of the best previews I've read so far (this, and also the quick player's recap, it's awesome !).

Makes it a pretty epic story where Terrans are the good guys (haters gonna hate), and Byun is our last hope in these dark times.

Well... I doubt it ends very well for him but still, I hope he does decent.

Oh, and NANIWA GOGOGO. Seriously, I'd love to see DRG losing after such a display of vanity and comments from a lot of pro Koreans "DRG will roflstomp Nani". I still appreciate the guy, so whatever happen, this will be a good Ro4. But please Nani, just make him regret those words, would be funny as hell !

Did no one else see the IPL Fight Club at Hot Import Nights recently where Hero won five games against DRG and made him look very vulnerable to timing attacks. Obviously this is a different night and different venue, but I wouldn't say it's unthinkable that he lose if Naniwa prepares some good 2 base immortal pushes and mixes things up a bit. If Naniwa saw those games, I think he might have a good idea of how to take this series.
Any fool can ask more questions than a wise man can answer.

Fact error in the article: MC vs TaeJa on Atlantis Spaceship was NOT a 4 gate attack. It was 4 gate aggression after expansion. This is an old PvT strat long favoured by the likes of WhiteRa on the european server. SaSe also played it in the MLG back in the winter. It started popping up in the GSL a couple of months back, being perhaps most succesfully employed by Naniwa. TaeJa simply didn't have the units and he was also missing bunkers (1 was going up when the push hit).

The second 4 gate was a normal 4 gate all right, albeit without MC cancelling his expansion, which was the weirdest thing ever.

Haha, really enjoyed the strengths/weaknesses category. I was especially cracking up at the Nestea section.
