Nice recap! Poor Dream, he was doing so well until he for whatever reason had a bronze league reaction to oracles.

Yeah, how could they spell it wrong: its spelled nexi (double 'i' endings only occur on words ending in 'ius'). That does look kinda weird though.

The big question is "did afterburners look OP because the best players at IEM were Terran, or because they're actually too strong?" A Code S class Korean pro can make almost anything look good against foreigners


The problem is that some people had to deal with speedvacs for quite a while during the beta and already back then called the ability overpowered. That weren't Code S koreans beating foreigners. Those were players of master level against similar opponents. Which is another reason why some complained about it; you didn't need to be a very good or very fast player to abuse them to the maximum.
IEM just happened to raise awareness to a problem that existed for much much longer - same with widowmines or voidrays.

Apart from that, nice writeup.

At first I thought he meant that the yodaism was laid out incorrectly but I can't think of how else you'd write that... dunno.

Nice recap, great tournament, I was particularly glad to see LG-IM dominate in such fashion. Hope 2013 will be another year full of LG-IM champions!

IEM WC was a thrilling tournament to watch but I missed the semifinals and the finals. This recap was written very well and I like how you speculated the current and future usefulness of the new HotS units. I predict that the metagame will still evolve a lot, but what we have seen here was a good display of how HotS games will start off for ladder games with the release of HotSstill being fresh.

The irony showed here is "read book". Shouldn't it be in the plural form, "books" ?

Note: If you were a Star Wars fan you would understand the jab at humour in his comment.
