Yeah, MKP was one of the bigger ones, but you still got Naniwa, MVP's last stand with his wrists falling apart at the seems, the potential of a Liquid vs. Liquid semifinal, and maybe even Maru, not only usurping MarineKing, but becoming the youngest champion by a mile and being the first Royal Roader. Also you have Parting vs. MC in their back-and-forth feud for the Protoss presidency. Every player has a story. Unfortunately people ignore some in favour of others. I think you were the one who showed me that with your first 'write-up' for the Ro8 super tournament. That was a writeup of legends thanks to TheBestFoU =P Basically there's a lot of great stories in the bracket so far. Supernova is probably the least interesting for headlines at the moment, but when that kid's hot he's smoking. Personally I'd love for MVP to win, I think he's the only player I'm a super-fan of left. But I'll be happy if Naniwa, Hero, Taeja, Parting, Supernova, Group D 1st and Group D 2nd win =D | ||

SuperNova - the "designated" Code S November champion, will he show us new and innovative strategies and silence the doubters as well as beat fionn predictions? Hero - now with no PvZ left, can he battle his way through hordes of T's and P's and show SNova that he is the oGs-TL Ace? + TL and Bisu/Jaedong secret love child bonus Taeja - should have won the GSL "years ago", showed some most promising play in all matchups(innovation, control, strategy, multitask) then possibly: MC - show he is the best p, finally another p champ (same for parting) squirtle: same as taeja - innovation + more Cinderella lately, step out of the shadow of parting, oz: not just a coach-player kinda guy, show he is clutch maru: little kid i dont care much about, still an interesting story then all the rivalries between players, only some of which i mentioned imagine MC vs Mvp finals Nani vs anyone (beating mvp again) PvP finals / P winning again new TvP strategies (taeja,snova counting on you) youngest gsl champ/finalist soo many storylines I'll look out for Maru as well I guess. I feel like if Supernova or squirtle or someone like that wins this GSL, it's just be called a write off. If anything I guess MC winning would be the most interesting. Taking back the crown that he doesn't necessarily deserve yet. | ||

Taking yourself too seriously can cause yourself to fuck up. Not to say that Taeja doesn't take things seriously; his skill clearly shows that he practices a ton, but his attitude when he's actually in the booth seems to be one in which he doesn't put too much stress on himself. He usually looks at peace and easygoing. | ||

I'm rooting for MVP all the way until he meets HerO, should it happen. | ||

I guess Code S is the SC2 version of OSL so it's a good storyline. But I think the whole HerO of TL thing, EG.PuMa rivalry are even better. If anyone from HerO, TaeJa and NaNi win I'll be happy. | ||

I don't think it was the prime cause of MKP's collapse but I do think being tired and somewhat jetlagged after his NY trip may have been part of the reason why he fell apart quite so quickly. | ||

I like teja advancing, but to be honest, I' think a not dead tired mkp would probably went first in this group. ......you DO realize Parting was also at MLG, meaning that he didn't have a jetlag/sleep advantage.... no Parting beat MKP fair and square | ||
