Both SeleCT and Sjow made it to R16.

Sjow and select also advanced past the first round only to lose to curious and sC (Sjow forfeited his spot and select lost to tassadar next season)
Ah yeah, true. Totally forgot about that.

I dont remember anyone saying Polt Code S champion. A lot of people were saying Polt belonged in Code S but champion was something I didnt hear from anyone.

HotS will if anything make terrans not want to build certain units in TvP for the chance that they would be good targets for the replicator (seige tanks specifically)

He beat Taeja, Hero, Lucky and Stephano at Assembly in one day. How isn't that competitive?
He deserved to not advance today as he didn't really play that well against Oz, but I don't get the notion that Assembly wasn't a competitive tournament.

Luckily for Oz his sentries got emp'ed, so he can't hurt himself with his terrible FF anymore

Holy shit, ForGG chose Terran again! Holy shit, ForGG built some Marines! ... I don't get it. Is this balance whine? Or is it an accusation that fOrGG is a boring player? Neither. IMHO Oz is just the better player right now. ForGG must the most hyped terran there ever was. Not sure what all this hype is all about. IMHO he just rallys in units, without even diverging his strategies. It just bores the hell out of me. But that´s just my opinion.
