I'll go with Life as winner, although I hope viOlet or Jaedong can take it... Only way I see Life not winning is if he has to play JD and his ridiculously OP ZvZ

Btw. gj writing this.

Squirtle plox! Not only do I think he'll win I really hope he'll do it too. It's not just because he's on IM now either.

Much like Symbol, he's a guy that just can't get 1st in a premiere event despite being really good and coming close a few times.

- MVP took his gsl title despite him only dropping 1 game until the finals.

- Alive took his IPL 4 championship after Squirtle came all the way from the open bracket to make the finals

- Creator took his WCS: Korea win.

- PartinG took his builds.

He.needs.this.

Yes, it's heartbreaking being a Squirtle fan

He did show some excellent games in the GSTL, including a sick good ace match win vs Azubu.Symbol. I believe!

Failing which, either Life winning or a Jaedong resurrection would be great.

Loved the "unbeatable-scale" for the Koreans. Enjoyed it.

Don't get me wrong, I like Squirtle but I LOVE MVP.

I have no qualms whatsoever about MVP stealing that royal road from him. If he won here I'd be happy for him but I just can't see him getting past Life.

Awsome writeup ! really good im looking forward to part2.
But i do not really see how you are able to write that life is "Surprisingly not-totally unbeatable" you act like hes almost jaedong in the pvz setup while life does still beat high caliber zergs and jaedong mhhhh does'nt really... kinda. Well its strange you doubt Life could have some problems getting top 4 cause hes still at the top..

Looking back, the three best players to compete at an SC2 DreamHack are: (T)TaeJa @ Valencia 2012 (at the height of the summer of TaeJa), (Z)DongRaeGu @ Winter 2011 (just slightly before his peak), and now Life @ Summer 2013 (slightly come down from his peak).

As an avid HerO fan, I take great offense at what you just wrote and demand correction asap!!!
Besides this glaring mistake, well written!


Seconded, December-HerO from last year was the best player to ever play at Dreamhack until now imo. He just manhandled the whole thing like it was nothing.

I'd say ffs Squirtle, just win something already

Will Squirtle finally achieve 1st place ? Will Life die ? Will Azubu players become free agents soon ? Stay tuned.

Edit :

GOGOGO !

So nobody commented on the fact, that there are 38 Protoss, 29 Terrans and 60(!) Zerg present?
I mean... come on, do hatcheries nowadays spawn young nerds?
I figured out the EG Curse. It was set in motion by Voodoo Shamans working for Millenium. Whenever EG aquires a player, Voodoo energies start slowly draining skill from the EG guy into an Millenium newcomer. Think about it!

High master zerg reporting in, to give my thoughts on this...

1. Stephano and Snute are both on a higher level than these players:
- Daisy
- Arthur
- Sting
- Stardust
- TheSTC(even IdrA is better than him)
- Lucky(why is this guy even considered a threat to anybody?)
__________________

I think they are more or less in the same level as viOLet and hyuN.

EDIT: Oh, and Life will win. Life as a player is just >>> Taeja.

Top 3 is prolly gonna look like this:
1st Life
2nd Taeja
3rd viOlet


I can do anything i want, until otherwise is proven.

I think Jaedong will win this tournament. I'm 75% sure he will

It was the Naniwa effect. Not the Korean against the world one.
