Still hoping for Grubby. Nevertheless, I was pretty disappointed that Tyler's stint in Korea wasn't mentioned in his introduction. Living in a Korean pro house is a bigger accomplishment than TSL2 imo.

WTH?

Not a fan of Tyler?
Not a fan of Strelok?
Not a fan of Destiny?
Not even a fan of TLO?

You should see a doctor about that.
"Not being a fan of TLO" was declared a serious medical condition by the WHO, but don't worry, it's cureable :p

That's the way it will stay. There are plenty other tournaments that can be srsbzns.

thanks man. i just recently started playing sc2 after watching it for over a year purely for entertainment. i have enjoyed what i saw from your last tourney, and i'm always entertained by your casting. keep it up. people like you literally grow the sport and i am proof of that.

I think it's pretty easy not to be a fan of Tyler, Destiny or TLO since they neither showed top results like Socke or Dimaga in the past, nor do I think they are able to do so now.
I mean using sweet tactics like TLO or Destiny or being a BW legend like Tyler is one thing, but in the end being able to win stuff is something I and many others just like a lot about a player.

it's all subjective in the end so no use debating it really.

You like players who win,I like players that deliver interesting/innovative tactics, the next player is a huge fan of some other player because he looks cool, and then there's the girl who thinks guy X is just sexy and has a great voice. Whatever the reasons they are all valid. One cannot cater to ALL tastes at the same time.

that being said, i'm glad at least Socke is there, i'd love to see thorzain as well but somehow i doubt he'll be the last contestant.Oh well, one can hope. *keeps fingers crossed *

I've become even more of a TLO fan lately. I've always found the guy likable and I was genuinely impressed by his play in the beta. Then he went ahead and (afaik I know, not like I know much at all lol) almost disappeared due to chicken pox (?) followed by a nasty injury. He got through all that, returned to the scene, only to fall again as his condition got worse. Most people would have given up right there, returned to their studies and settled for an easier life, but not this man. For all I know he's back in full force now, practicing harder than ever, making progress in both ladder and in terms of gameplay. I think he even vowed to surpass HuK.

Basically, that's what makes me TLO fan. Sometimes, having the most raw skill or earning the most money got nothing on being a true fucking baller.

"I have no-one to cheer for!" cry a few solitary souls! Problem solved.
