Sure great names fell this past weekend and lesser names prevailed, but why this was so has very little to do with the game itself. A player's state of mind is not a measurable variable, but it is always the most formidable one.

not sure about upsetness (is that even a word?) but I found TLO vs Bomber was the most entertaining to watch. very back and forth.

please dont ban me for going slightly offtopic

Bbyong code S player losing to the relatively unknown player AbomB is not an upset to you?

Why is anyone surprised Bomber lost against someone he shouldn't have? It's his hobby

I agree, SortOf 3 - 1 Taeja is way more ridiculous.

TLO is one of the most consistent European Zergs (honestly, by pure results, with his number of Ro4s/Ro8s last year, he was probably 'the best' European Zerg), and their series was still extremely close.

SortOf vs Taeja didn't even go to Game 5, SortOf is a good Zerg but far less consistent than TLO, and Taeja won the most tournaments last year out of all progamers. That's pretty ridiculous, tbh.

Not sure how your comments are related.

He said he doesn't like upsets; you said a certain match was an upset. Misquote?

so many upsets, it was hard to decide which one. Life losing is also an upset but in the end i went for Taeja but I'm not too suprised seeing as he's sort of grown tierd of pro-gaming and wants out. To truely master this game you need passion as well as skills

Yeah i agree, I mean if you go on twitch and see Taeja's stream, hes just faffing about playing 2v2's most of the time toss and zerg and then sometimes terran, he's slacking, that's why he is losing too much.And for a person who won 5 championships in one year, Taeja is the last person that should be fucking complaining about game balance, he won so much yet he still complains, he's being a bloody hypocrite, i thought everyone would be complaining about Taeja in that regard (although they didn't, good on them)

It WAS his hobby, he won against Jaedong in WCS S2 and got the champion and got top 4th place in Blizzcon, sure he hasn't made it out in a lot of group stages, but eveybody has bad luck sometimes

UMMMM, DUE to the fact that 80%-90% of finals in 2013 (apart from Naniwa i guess) are all koreans while most foreigners dont even make it out on group stage (either round 1 group stage or round 2); And that Naniwa is the ONLY foreigner to go to Blizzcon and still lost in the first round....???? ITS PAINFULLY OBVIOUS MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TLO Bomber was not really an upset, but it was the most exciting match outcome for me. :D
