MMA didn't really come out of no where... He was a GSTL ace that failed in Code A 4 times before finally getting Code S through MLG. And yea, the others you listed were all pretty well known. But people like to give Boxer/Slayers credit for any little thing.

oh, race count stays the same? :/ I think there are 19 terrans this time.......... LOLOLOL Well to be fair, there are like... 3? Terrans that might not deserve to be there. The rest are just REALLY GOOD. yes suuure, at least 15 of them are top5 terran in korea what makes guys like you say that? it's harder to look bad playing the strongest race MMA, GanZi, Ryung, Taeja, MVP, Happy, sC, MarineKing, Bomber, Polt Polt didnt look so good at MLG though, I can see him dropping again in the future... Happy, sC and Ganzi have impressed a couple times, and even then arent locks in code S I guess. Hell, MVP and MKP were in code A a couple seasons ago, we can never know what will happen.
Polt went on a 18-0 run after losing against Gawser. Only to beaten by Puma who in all fairness had not only time to prepare himself against Polt, but also the skill to make it work. As long as Polt isn't messing around he's easily code S material.

GSTL is when MMA suddenly exploded, same with DongRaeGu.

My god... TOP's vT is his best matchup so I'm surprised he did so bad. I guess MVP really did suck the soul out of him.
His TvT was never really good when it was Marine/Tank . He was never really good at microing / engaging. I've seen alot of games of him where he sacrifices alot of units needlessly but still won because he's just very good at rebuilding stuff and scv's.
He's really good at macroing though maybe even the best overall at it but thats not allways enough.

Thats quite interesting. I would have thought that NsHoSeo would be doing better by now. Also its sad that Prime is doing so "bad" with only MKP in Code S left.
I think (and hope) Virus, YuGiOh, asd and Ensnare drop down to Code A to make some space for better players. When I think of other Terrans to drop to Code A I cant think of anyone who deserves it even though there are so many. I also think TOP is Code S level and deserves a spot. Im Curious who will drop and who will advance. So pumped for next season

Nada might drop as well . I know he's Nada and everything but he hasn't looked like Code S for a while. He played soooo bad his WCG Groups as well.
|
SO HAPPY FOR TAEJA AND SC!

ayayayay sc gl in code s! you deserve it
|
Boxer is a pretty good coach huh?
|
oGsTOP goes out 0-3 and FXOsc goes from the hospital to code S... WaaaaaT? I gotta see these games.
|
Haha pretty amusing that you can have 2 terrans advance out of a group (best you can hope for) yet lose 1 terran from Code S.
|
Is this the beginning of the downfall of oGs players?

i agree with Virus YugiOh and Ensnare but not Asd this guy is dam good on par with another top terran player i hate to say this but IMO Nada is one of them that should drop down to Code-a
and same to Alive this guy sometime looking dam good but in the same-time he can lose to eveyone -"- (if Clide is not the best human i 'll put him in the list too XD)

MC had a great MLG run. Let's hope the trend continues of his move upward. He secured his Code S spot, so he doesn't have to qualify all over again. I hope he practices his PvT enough

Damn, that GSL finals curse is really real isn't it.
Poor Top. I wonder how he'll do in Code A.

Agreed, asd is so underrated over here. MMA had to rely on gimmick strategies to beat asd. I think asd is a ro16/ro8 consistent type of player if he dosen't get placed in any groups of death. He probably can hand most code S terrans a good beatdown, maybe even Nada.

SC is a natural. I underestimated him. He's going to be around for a long long time. GJ. Disappointed by lucky. I underestimated taeja too; I thought talent was all he had. Apparently, he reads the game like a genius too.
