Hmm, from his stats Seiplo looks like a PvP sniper. Quite lucky for him given that his group stage was probably the easiest possible and he met HuK in the Ro16, but he does not stand a good chance against the likes of DRG or Puma.

10 out of 16 were Protoss and you whine? Seriously? 2 of the 5 eliminated Protoss were eliminated by Protoss. 2 matches went 1-2 and HerO just beat Sheth easily.
Seriously ? Seriously ? ARE YOU SERIOUSLY SERIOUS ???? Not whining, I'm upset because the odds were really in P's favour
The only 'upset' I see here is White-rA losing to Naama which in itself can be argued about, since Naama doesn't show much, but is always a good player if he prepares. Genius is FAR worse than PuMa and NaNiWa lost 1-2 to DRG which is no shame. Both other Protoss lost in PvP .... not sure why you are upset.

k.
You realize the advantage Hero had in order to make that harass viable right?
If anything, it's a bad BO decision by sheth. WP attacks counter early mutas hard, since you won't have enough units to defend properly.
He harrasses beautifully with amazing multitasking in every game he plays.
And yet still got crushed by DRG in this tournament and could barely get past Ret (definitely not a Top 5 Zerg) in MLG. His harass style is cute, but he needs to combine it with an old-age-MC style threat of terrifying 1-2base pushes to really do well.
One of those games was a nydus allin though, which isn't anything to do with his playstyle. MC is terrible against zerg, can't count how many zvp's he's lost in the last 4-5 months. The matchup is pretty hard for protoss in general, though. But i in a bo3/bo5 I agree you need to mix it up a bit.

It is the second step on the path to becoming Bisu.
The first step is being blessed with extremely good looks.
