By the way, symbol and seed played in code a ro32 last season, symbol won 2-1. Hopefully history does not repeat itself this time. =/

So it seems we have finally arrived here once again. The notorious/hellish placement in Code S known as Ro8.

Because all 8 players right now have safely secured their placement for the 2012 GSL Season 4 Code S, the players no longer feel pressured by the threat of falling into Code A.

But unfortunately they cannot relax just yet. In fact, they have to work even harder than before. Because right now, at this very moment, each player is realizing the same thing. They are the final eight. And they are the only ones who are qualified to grab that revered GSL trophy.

With this in mind, each player will face off in a Bo5 with the same mentality. The mentality of one that is thinking "I MUST CRUSH MY OPPONENT!" And they must keep this mentality for 3 more rounds if they wish to be standing on that platform kissing that trophy.

Standing there with all the spotlights on them, and the crowd going absolutely nuts cheering for him.

And then, there are the players. The envious players who were so close and yet could not do it in the end. Just who will this player be? Let us meet our first four contenders.

-The So is excessive.
-The second sentence is a fragment.

It seems we have finally arrived once again to the hellish place known as Code S Ro8.




-When using numbers fewer than ten, try to spell it out, it would look more professional.
-Don't begin a sentence with "because" unless absolutely necessary.
-the words 'right now' is excessive
-the players no longer feel pressured by the threat of falling into Code A: excessive

Since all eight players have secured their place in the next season of Code S, the loss of pride from falling to code A no longer presents an issue.



-But is excessive
-link the sentences together so they don't feel like jolts of words strung together.

Unfortunately, there is no time for rest as they must now work harder than before.



-use colon:

As of this very moment, these players are beginning to understand one thing: they ARE the final eight, the only ones left with a chance grab that revered GSL trophy.




feels so awkward...

With the gravity of their situation in mind, each player must face his destiny with the iron will which screams 'I WILL CRUSH MY OPPONENT!' They must possess fortitude and perseverance of mind the entire match if they wish to stand on the world stage kissing the championship trophy.




-This is a fragment




Tonight, two players will stand in the spotlight surrounded by wild cheers and fanfare, the other two will fall with dreams dashed and ego bruised. Who will survive the the Semifinals? Let us meet our first four contenders.


That's only the first paragraph.

I wasn't talking entirely about just you! Though I still think you went a bit overboard with it . Just skimming through the thread seemed like 50% was about the games and 50% was about Seeker misspelling this or bad grammar etc. Which is fine if its like a main page TL post and supposed to be a serious report. But to me this seems like fun and like a good majority of those 'mistakes' were.. well not intentional but kind of there to go with the silly hype?

I know everyone loves Symbol but I just can't seem to get on that bandwagon

I have this curious dislike of Royal Roaders, and for some reason I rarely like Zerg players despite being one myself

So I guess Seed's got my vote

And obviously MC.

Man maybe I have a thing for protosses
