It's so sad how badly WCS has been screwed over by the qualifying tournaments in Korea happening during a time when Terran couldn't win a game. I don't think I'll even bother watching.

HerO wins it all and shows everyone that with hard work and micro he can beat the best in PvP. Calling it here and now (and every tourny HerO is in)

Please stop calling so goddamn many different players pracc bonjwa's and similar bullshit. Koreans like to talk highly of their pracc partners, especially those from their own team. I can accept that maybe 2-4 "pracc bonjwa's" exist out there, but the term has been thrown around ever since SC2 came out. They would have made it further if they truly were that good.

Edit:
"Alas, Poor HerO. If this were a tournament with reasonable racial balance, we'd say he was one of the contenders to win it all"
Also Hero would most certainly not be a championship contender when taking part in a tournament with opponents of this caliber:
- Creator: Winner of TSL4.
- Seed: Winner of GSL3.
- Rain: OSL finalist.
- Squirtle: Runner-up of GSL2 & IPL4.

That is 4 players who has achieved more than Hero in 2012, with Parting's results being on par with Hero's. In a fantasy world where these players did not play protoss, Hero still would not be a true contender.

I think that was all the bile I had. Well-written and interesting article outside of those small issues :-),

What a weird mix of players. I'll watch a bit, though mostly cause Tastosis is gonna be casting. I bet enough of the games will unfold skillfully, but not so sure if they'll be that entertaining.

So much Toss. I want hero to do well but >< Parting too. What the hell man. I didn't expect Seed, Squirtle and hell Alicia to outshine you.
