He had a long period of time with no games played right before and right after the patch hit. But he won Ironsquid by beating Symbol ( right before symbol started to be a monster tho ). Since that, MMA don't seems to be the same.  | ||

It's times like this when I want to just switch to LoL. I hate when blizzard will nerf something because of exceptional players e.g. MVP and ghosts, MMA and his TVZ, SlayerS blue flame hellion timings. | ||

Totally justified invitation, especially since game one vs. Hero was insanely close, and he ended up taking Hero to an ace match anyway. I'm kind of glad that you invited him, rather than a fourth player who's already as established as DRG, MMA, and Hero. Illusion's the dark horse of the tournament, but he's not a no-name player who's incapable of holding his own. He earned it. | ||

Just the explanation is wonderful, shows you guys really are looking to give credit where it's due and care. Question: Dear IPL, will there be another stream with the camera just behind DRG? I'd LOVE to watch it, no commentary nothing. Just the camera on his screen!!!! | ||

Probably the player in the in the US with the most potential atm and the more live experience he gets, the better. The US scene really is in need of a "star" player. | ||

Leagues should start doing more like this, where they highlight some young newere players who could be great in the future like Illusion. He played great vs Hero don't think they're hating on illusion, just a bunch of other code s level players could have been chosen in his place too. | ||

I think we tend to forget that a lot of the current stars in GSL like DRG, HerO, MMA, Taeja, Creator, Maru, Coca and many others were all unknown players for the longest time trying to make a name for themselves against the MCs, Nesteas, and MVPs. Showcasing new and upcoming talent like Illusion is always a good thing. | ||

MLG does that in their arenas! would be a great addition for every tourney. | ||
