TLO Bomber was close though, so not as much of an 'upset' as some of the sweeps and near sweeps. Unless 'biggest' means 'most exciting' in which case it was.

I don't like it when there's this many upsets in a weekend, degrades their significance and I'm not one of those who thinks "omg lel koreans losing I just got a boner"

Voted ABomB vs Bbyong. After that comes SortOf vs Taeja.

Bomber vs TLO was no upset (bomber law) but the fact that Teaja ( in my opinion best player of 2013) lost against a weak europe zerg is just ridicilous :o Welmu vs Life wasnt that a big of a deal cause Welmu is a really suprising player and Sjow vs Life was the worst thing in sc2 history maybe, so Welmu vs Life is nothing compared to that...
Zanster vs HerO? hmm not sure about that .. just not sure

I think Tlo vs Bomber, just for being the biggest story of an upset. However I'm more surprised by Zanster and Abomb.

As a CJ fan i would add that everyone except hero are so inconsistent that Bbyong losing to a foreinger isn't that much surprising , even though he shouldn't lose to them .

You don't think TaeJa is consistent?

I don't understand why people would think Major beating Bbyong is such a big upset. He actually beat polt 3:2 on IEM qualifier and TvT is his best match up, i would say Bbyong is inferior to polt TvT wise.

ABomb defeating a Code S Korean. That is incredible.

ABomb is a Protoss who defeated a Terran. I don't think that is impressive at all.

Likewise, the biggest upsets all apparently happened to Terrans, Bomber, Taeja.

Wow, I am sooooo shocked.

I think he meant everyone in CJ team is inconsistent aside from herO, instead of all koreans on IEM aside from herO.

TLO vs Bomber was maybe the most exciting or notable or whatever but just on namesake alone I feel like Abomb over Bbyong was the most surprising.

I don't think Bomber's law is a thing anymore. He has been too consistent for it to still exist.. If you still want to keep it a thing then you can honestly say every player is affected by Bomber's law.

SortOf vs Taeja has to win, Taeja is just so consistent, especially in that matchup
