It's too bad people vote based on fame and not skill.

Really now? Nada and Boxer have the raw talent to make them succeed when the game is so fresh and new. They are true pioneers when it comes to RTS and you saw that when they made the top 8 in their first major tournament appearance. Such bait. Seriously.

Loner for me, as he was doing very well during the past weeks. Obv Nada is much of an upset, too, and Testere were much of it if he didn't already upset every1 last time

Boxer and Nada are pioneers in strategy, but unless they come up with an actual strategy, I am not sure if they are better in other terms than some of the A team progamers of modern day and age. People like MVP and Sangho could eclipse them in 2-3 months, and dare I say, people like FruitDealer and Tester are not worse or better than them.

Nada has the name, Nada has the fame. But something is not really clicking right now. Boxer is playing well, but nothing to write home about. There's a mass of 10-20 Terrans, and none of them stand-out clearly. If I have to choose, I will choose MVP and Foxer right now, they impressed me much more than Nada and Boxer. Though I noticed Nada's signature macro style. If it clicks for him, he can be a stand-out Terran once again.

Coming back to the original question, I was disappointed with Tester's elimination. I am a big fan, but even besides that, Protoss are doing horrible. The only stand-out player for me is Tester among protoss, so I was hoping he can win despite disadvantages of race.

How can people vote for HuK over Sangho, Loner, NaDa, Tester, or Inca?? Honestly why is he on a list of primarily such good players, I would have been surprised if he did qualify.

I voted Loner because I thought he was super impressive in the last GSL, having great macro and micro. Although, I'm most surprised that oGsEnsnare didn't qualify, although he for some reason isn't on the list

Sang-Ho has played better than the others listed in previous GSL's, him getting knocked out in the pre-lims was a major surprise to me. And I do mean played better, not just "I got placed against what should've been a Ro16 opponent in the Ro64."

NaDa and Loner not making the cut also took me back, but not as much as Sang-Ho.

Tester's play has been shaky at best in SC2, it isn't surprising when he fails to qualify time after time. No offense to the legend that is Tester, but this poll isn't, "Who did you want to win the most?".

Can't say I'm surprised in any of the names. Not like any of them would've been favorite to go past first round imo. No, nada wasn't worthy of ro8 last time. I'd have expected sangho and tester to go on, based on lot of hype they've had but haven't really seen many games of theirs either.

Ok I guess inca was expected to go around ro16 again. When it comes to not qualifying, he might be the top candidate.

Definitely voting Tester for this one, he's shown amazing games in the events in between GSL's, like beating Nada today in PvT which is just amazing considering how unbalanced that matchup is. Nada has amazing mechanics but he doesn't understand sc2 strategy as well as other pros yet which clearly shows in his strategies, so i'm not surprised he didn't qualify.

What happened to Tester? I don't follow the SC2 scene that much but I remember hearing that he was one of the best Protoss players in the world a few months ago and now this is like the second GSL he hasn't qualified for, right?
