Meh fnatic if they want can easily market him better and you'll like him. Alot of the personalities in esports are somewhat fake or glamorized ablnyways. Perhaps alive just doesnt have the face for it

Its sort of like puma he just sells himself of his cheesier plays and EG acknowledges it with those 1-1-1 tshirts

I'm just hoping at least 1 zerg will get through (please NesTea :D) so that we can get a game which is not a TvT at the live show.

I like him. He's probably 2nd best terran in the world atm and play solid in all matchups. Would like to see him open up more.

Alive is getting shit from half the people here for playing standard and 'boring', and the other half for going all-in. Lulz.

Well it's kind of only what he does though. He uses either the cheesiest strats you can find (and the most well known too), or the most standard macro ones. There is no in-between for aLive, I guess that's why people don't like him very much, he's not very creative, doesn't have builds/styles that only he does or invented (like other popular players MKP, MC, MMA, HuK, Nestea, MVP, DRG and so on...). His micro is average (like I've never see him attempt to fight banelings with bio, he just runs away), he multitasks and macro kinda well, correct decision making, etc... So yeah, he's sick good, no denying that, probably top 3 Terran atm, but don't expect him to become a fan favorite soon, unless he wins two GSLs or something (but he's down to Code A :D)

tl;dr; I think you could just label aLive as the "strongest random Korean Terran", and that would be his special thing :D

So Alive went to ro4 of GSL season 1, win IPL 4, and is in the ro4 of iron squid, and people come on teamliquid to complain about his lack of personality ? Sometimes I just can't understand :-/

(Clide minus hype) plus (puma minus gimmicks) equal aLive.

One of the French commentator is definitely hilarious and knows the game quite well too.
It's too bad you guys can't understand him...

apollo, i am the biggest nestea fan there is, but please don't overhype nestea's decisionmaking. sometimes it is the best to find, but lately he actually messes things up from time to time.

nestea can still beat everyone on this planet and also today, you can still see the genius he is but he is not as perfect as you describe him and by highlighting that he, as every other player, makes mistakes, you can appreciate his awesome moments even more.
