If Loner is really the best player in China then I have to say the Chinese server is tied with the SEA server for dead last in terms of skill. But of course, I know better than that. | ||

Have to say this because I think hyping up a player too much is actually bad for them because when they don't perform well they get a lot more flak even though it's obvious they're not at the level of their opponents.

Didn't you have to get through a 1000 person qualifier for this tournament? He is playing against MC i don't think a judgment based on his performance against possibly the world number 1 can be taken to seriously. | ||

I think xiaOt is significantly better than Loner. | ||

Like 99% sure that xiaot is the best player in China right now. | ||

Well, let's put it this way: Loner has never impressed me since his debut in GSL save for that one time when he won while being sick. I don't see why people keep hyping him up. I'm sure even the Chinese don't want Loner to be seen as their best player. I mean... He has good macro but he just doesn't have that special understanding of the game that you see from top players. He plays MC like he plays any random Protoss and you just can't win like that. His play is lackluster. He isn't good at multi-tasking, he isn't good at micro, he isn't good at timing, he isn't good at builds, and his game sense seems to have gotten worse since BlizzCon. Just say it like it is and perhaps the organizers won't put him up against MC first round next time, which is a pretty bad decision all-around as you can see that he's struggling to post some results but just can't. | ||

Is he the Human player that invented mass tower turtling with max expansions + paladin hero first (unheard of!)? I remember that replay standing out. | ||

I dunno if that was ToD or TH000 who popularized that. | ||
