I really hope Iris can do something special against Bisu. Cheering for EffOrt/Jaedong/Kwanro!

Zero is just flat out better then Kwanro, slup or no slump hes gonna prepare hard for those games. And I am a fan of both players.

Deep down, I still believe that Iris can win this MSL, getting the one title that has ever eluded him. Deep down, deep down...
(-_-) BW for ever. #1 Iris fan.

If I were a Jaedong fan, I'd be more scared of Canata than any player other than Effort. Yes, scarier than Bisu.


Fully agree with this. And I believe Canata will defeat Jaedong.

Great as always Hot_Bid!
Btw did you just come up with the FBI joke (Fanta, Boxer, Iloveoov)? It's hillarious

And i agree that canata is a huge threat to JD, unfortunately

Where are all these Canata fans coming from? What is remotely interesting about his play?


exactly my thought...

i dont get why an average player like canata who has done nothing in his career gets a lot more love from this forum than Jaedong, a guy who has won on every stage he's put on except for WCG...

i mean this is the same forum that loves their champions... be it Boxer, Nada, Savior or Bisu... and i remember this forum hating on Canata for his boring turtle-style games that get past 45 mins with no action...

so what changed? he got into the Ro8 on both leagues and he gets all the love all of a sudden? the need to cheer for an SK Terran? theres always fantasy and Boxer... is he one of the best guys to talk to after a match? is this just a bandwagon that fans will jump off of once the wheels start falling off?

i'm not hating on him... he's done nothing worth hating... its just im curious what changed to turn him into a well-loved player...

His play has changed recently. His last few TvT's iirc he has played aggressively and excitingly (series vs Upmagic for sure). And his TvZ is just so powerful lately as well.
But probably the most important factor is that he has made Ro8 in MSL and OSL which has increased his exposure a lot. I guess some fans need someone new to cheer for rather than just same old LJD and KTY. We will see if the hype lasts past these leagues - I predict not (unless perhaps he beats Fantasy in OSL and goes on to win it).

i don't see that happening. there are still far more jaedong fans than canata fans. maybe the reason it seems that many people are choosing canata to beat jaedong, or at least give him a run for his money, is because we all like to see the underdog triumph every once in a while. especially if this underdog had been an under-performing (for about 5 years) yet much hyped decedent of the famed skt terran lineage.

This is gonna be so great!!! FIVE Zergs out of eight players. Can't wait for the ZvZ's. Favorite mirror match of all.

the six dragons don't have shit on the six zerglings ^^


zerglings don't really announce or represent their ferocity as strong zerg players, as Dragons do for Protoss.
Sticking w/ the theme of powerful and empending danger against a player known as a Dragon (Protoss), perhaps a good comparison or title of an "Omegalisk" would suffice, for the Zergies..

6Dragons much more formidable sounding than 6zerglings..
hell, 3 zealots > 6 zerglings

Thanks for the stats and write-up Hot_Bid. I agree with your predictions, other than the fact that I think Iris will do a little better against Bisu than you do.

LOL I had a feeling! Fuck yeah!

Iris fighting!

Sheesh guys, have you ever taken a course on MASS nouns? It's not Zergs, it's ZERG. Not Pokemons, POKEMON!!!!! The Terran race is the only one of the three that doesn't apply to that standard
