Wow, Haypro pulling one of the upsets of the year there.
I am never going to cheer for any player on FXO ever again. Now before you go and bash me, let me explain myself. I am a huge Slayers fan, and in IPL 3 and now MLG, every Slayers player was either teamkilled or knocked out by an FXO player. Boxer was knocked out of Code A both times by FXO players. Is it rational? Maybe not. But are sports fans necessarily rational? No.
This was especially heartbreaking after hearing Boxer say that after every loss he considers retirement. FXO, you are hurting Esports.
Disclaimer: My dislike is not not personally directed at anyone affiliated with FXO or players, it is only when they play. It is a simple as a Real Madrid fan hating on Barcelona (football), or a Patriots fan hating on the Giants (American football).
Holy shit, Haypro....holy shit. You're far from my favorite player but I hope you continue your breakout performance man. Just not if it's against Huk, Naniwa, Idra, or DRG.
Now that its you vs MVP you can believe I'll be in your corner yelling just as loud as any Haypro fan. And if you manage that Idk man I think this cinderella story may just get the best of me.

Koreans focusing on TvT too much because of GSL perhaps? Maybe its 'jetlag'
I think those are both factors. The foreign terrans are not as high level overall but seem more consistent in different matchups except maybe for MVP which is just a boss.
The new GSL format will change all of that. They definitely need to practice for anything at this point. It's hard to tell where you'll end up and vs who in that format so no taking it easy.
I predict that the level of play will go up pretty quickly in Korea because of that (moreso than now) until HotS comes out and people need to take a step backwards to figure things out.
Amazing that a tournament with so few top tier foreigners and such a huge swarm of top koreans has finished with 4 foreigners in the top 4. Even with the format it's a big shock for me.

sorry, but there is no way. MVP has a lead over him in an extended serious AND it's MVP. and after that the games wont be easy either to say the least haha. MVP or DRG is prolly gonna take it.

Nestea doesn´t wins anything.. Must be a slump.
Forget that he got 2nd at Blizzcon, RO16 at GSL and won against a ton of strong players.
Losing vs BBongBBong then Haypro in ZvZ (historically his strongest matchup) constitutes a slump.
Ummm no? No SC player(and I am counting BW too) is unbeatable, even in his best MUs. he had a bad tournament. but lol if RO16 at GSL and a strong showing at MLG counts as slumping I guess I am ok with that ^_^
It's not so much the results necessarily, more how he's looked in games recently.
You guys are basing a "slump" on TWO series? Really? Just stop, right now. What is a more legitimate theory is he was put off his game by Naniwa during the National Championship, and again in the Champ Bracket dropping to him. As amazing as the "Korean Mentality" is, we are all human and have breaking points.
It comes from earlier, he's becoming ZergBong at an alarming rate.
