The writers do not want to get burned twice. Last year they were calling Hero the best Protoss in the world and someone who would win the group over MC, DRG, MVP (back when he was scary and less injured). Needless to say, that was a terribly inaccurate prediction, and the writers are definitely being more cautious this time.
calling him the best toss in the world was completely ludicrous. clearly, their predictions for him rn are much more accurate and unbiased
Totally agree with everything. Really didn't like the part of "Is Mvp his time over??" though... If anything his time is yet to come after his wrist has healed. Strong faith in him. Chances are big he pulls it off, but Leenock will be a big problem indeed. Hope he gets out first, else it'll be second.
1.-Leenock: because I will still go for Leenock as best overall player, since he has the skills, the tactics, the style, the results, and the race every other is having trouble with lately.
2.-HerO: because is the best protoss in the world. His results may not be as consistent as some others, but you just need to watch his games to be convinced that he has more skill than anybody else.
3.- Parting or MvP: depending on how much chances parting takes and how much it pays off, vs how much win factor mvp will be able to call upon
5.- DRG: That's sad, but he seems the weakest of the bunch.
weird that everyone thinks Hero is going to win like every single time....is it because he is in TL that he is such a fan favorite? I still do not buy the stargate play vs zerg. Parting's robo style is superior. Hero won some foreign tournaments recently but those did not have many big hitters from Korean I believe.
It is sad to see Mvp lose his first 2 games, it feels like terran has to resort to early game more and more these days. Actually a lot of all-ins in SC2 in general still.

Thanks.. I just joined so I dont know all the accronyms and what not.. First what does LR mean (im guessing Live Replay).. second does it cost money to watch these events live?
Game 3 hero vs parting, hero definitely wasn't completely on his game, I think the nerves got to him, hope he does better next time if he doesn't make it

Pretty much... All this talk about how there is fewer viewers because of over saturation and what not, when honestly, most people just don't bother to watch another ZvP or ZvZ... At MLG Fall Championship the viewer number dropped by 10.000 in an instant when Flash as the last Terran was kicked out of the turnament.

he was "the best in the world" already last year for a short period of time
