In every other case I d agre, but rooting against God is Blasphemy!

As a CJ fan, I actually just want Effort to win, and for the rest, just nice games, whatever the outcome

Great predictions Fionn, you got half of them this time. :o
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.

Now that there are only Koreans left in GSL, I have to wait and see who are they going to seed in next season.
I wish for Stephano, VortiX, TargA and LucifroN.

Meh, the only worth while one is Stephano, but I don't think he can succeed in GSL.

I dont think that we will ever see stephano in the GSL, cuz he would kinda ruin his reputation as a top tier korean killer, if he falls like Naniwa.

I'd complain that most of these "elephants" are no more elephants than MC or Nestea, and far less so than MVP, but then, I suspect nobody even cares what that article was about anymore.
I bear this sig to commemorate the loss of the team icon that commemorated Oversky's 2008-2009 Proleague Round 1 performance.

What is a GSL player exactly? GSL doesn't have any teams or players under contract so I guess a GSL player is anyone that can qualify or gets a seed to code a or above? So doesn't that make Flash a GSL player just as much as Mvp?

I think this is all kind of silly, if it's so important to sub divide the community the only one that makes any sense is Federation players and Kespa players as they are really the only two divisions that exist in korea, however in my opinion all none kespa koreans are simply international players, no different to any Europeans or Americans.

Actually, now that I checked it out, Mini has a 13-14 (48.15%) record in Brood War standard leagues, which is fairly good and actually quite a bit better than I expected.

But yeah, they're all sub 50% winrate players in standard leagues, only slightly better than most of the players listed in the Elephant in the Room article. These are the kind of players that article was scorning, not elephants. Effort and Flash are the only elephants here.

If Naniwa loses: "He sucks! It's over, Naniwa is done. He has done terribly in foreign tournaments and now is out of GSL. I can't believe people actually thought he was good as Stephano."

If Naniwa wins: "Whatever, he won a PvP against a player no one has ever heard of. Just wait until he plays a Zerg or Terran and gets his ass kicked. He's so lucky that he got a coin flip in the first round!"

Just another day in the life of Naniwa.


Hahahahaha, so true....

Edit:
Why does this have to be the prediction Fionn got right?

He did, by the score of 2-1. Effort on the other hand didn't make it through, joining Jaedong as another huge elephant falling
