If you don't have any haters, you are not that hot, and HerO is extremely hot XD | ||

If anything this proves even more the current volatility of the scene. Personally I feel that Jjakji is a bit overhyped even though he has a GSL Code S title. I agree, the finals were very good but his way to the final was not very convincing. In the group stages he lost to Killer and then rebounded with wins over SuperNova and Virus. His secound group stage involved getting stomped by MVP and then getting the walk-over over CoCa into a TvT win over the mediocre Gumiho(TvT Speaking). After that he beat Puzzle, Oz and Leenock to grab the title, those three are of high calibre. Still he had quite an easy path to the finals. Eh. Just because you win a GSL doesn't mean you'll win every match, and I would consider Hero to be a top player. I don't think this result means the game is volatile at all. People have been spoiled by Flash and Jaedong's dominance imo. It's like golf. People got used to Woods winning everything, and now it seems like you read about a different person winning majors every time. When forGG won an MSL and then became solidly mediocre no one thought it meant anything about BW. In most fields of competition you simply don't see win rates much above ~60%. | ||

Honestly fans will hype the shit out of their players, while antis will try to cut them down. IMO beating someone in a online show match cannot be compared to facing them in a major tournement. Perhaps in time Hero will truly stand in my top players book. | ||

Hero had better multi-tasking and better response than Jiajiki. Jiajiki is just throwing every build he knows against Hero in the hope that one of the build would pinpoint Hero's weakness but Hero adapted everytime. This is why Jiajiki scouts very late. He doesn't care about what strategy Hero employs. He's a flowchart Terran that just knows a lot of builds. There's nothing outstanding about his macro/micro or his multi-tasking. | ||

I'll just quote all the people in the first few pages though, everyone who watches HerO knows that he beats Jjakji like a rented mule on ladder. Not making fun. The bold is the fun part haha. Why I love this game, every match up is within 50% win rate of each other.  | ||

Puzzle and Oz probably #1 #2 Toss players in this scene both have fantastic PvT,and leenock best ZvT along with DongRaeGu. Jjakji's path to finals was quite tought. Yes, I am absolutely serious. He had a very weak first group set (in which he even lost to Killer) and in the second he relied on a walk over to get a second chance against a (definatly at the time) very weak TvTer. Sure Puzzle and Oz are both great players but compare that path against some other paths in that same GSL. Groupstage 1 Group 2 RO8 RO4 Finals Out of those paths (some are imaginary) definatly Leenock's, MMA's and sC's are harder. Depending on how you look you can also make cases for some of the others. | ||

Didnt he crush IMMvp in Code S,how can he have weak TvT? o_O.Losing SangHo doesnt mean anything since you won the whole tournament. whatever,just look at NesTea's GSL July path to finals;Ro32 July,Ro16 Ensnare, Ro8 CoCa,Ro4 HongUn,Final LosirA. still im saying jjakji's path to final is one of the toughest. Also jjakji won in new format,which is 10x harder than older formats. | ||
