I would agree with you until seed became a GSL champion, losira came close to two all-kills, and yongwha has already had two all-kills this season. IM - the greatest ever? Yankees of SC2? | ||

I believe Leenock was favored 92% or 96% to win on Liquibet or something ridiculous. True. I guess he's kind of like jjakji though because jjakji was picked last that season and people were like wat who is this guy and why is everyone scared of him? a lot of people in the group selection thread were saying that they thought Life was one of the weakest players in the ro16 not too far behind Heart | ||

He does not have crazy micro and macro skills like fellow Terrans Taeja, Byun or Marineking, but he knows how to solve problems he's facing much better than anyone else. This will be definately an interesting finals. On one hand we have the incredible gifted Life with the best mechanics we have ever seen from a Zerg player (sry DRG, but this is it!) and on the other hand MVP with his great preparation and decision making. Could make up for a great finals but could be very one sided either way too. I don't understand this.... MVP vs Symbol in Ro8, MVP was almost always equal on supply or ahead of zerg - maybe Symbol was just macroing poorly, but I've seen MVP do it alot. MVP's multitasking is also pretty insane too, if you watched IEM; his drop harrass was just as good if not better than alot of other top terrans(always taking out other bases, or attacking somewhere when the zerg pushes across the map. On top of all of this he also picks builds, hits at perfect timings and prepares for people alot better then these other terrans too. People really try to downplay MVP's actual skill and mechanics for some reason. Dunno why. | ||

We did a brunchcraft for the DRG - Genius finals, and it was a massive success. We were planning another for these finals, but unfortunately it will start two hours earlier. It's not looking so good. | ||

This guy is TSL4 2nd place and a monster in Korean weeklies. This guy isn't even playing this game full time and he is consistently 1#GM in Korean Server along with Creator. | ||

I think he could have used someone there to back him up? This is a good point. Hero and Taeja are great players, but Liquid could really use some kind of support system over there. They tear through groups like nobody's business, but they tend to fall in the matches. | ||

It really all just shows how little the foreign scene knows about Korean players skill levels... I remember when Polt was one of the most disliked and overlooked players, until he went to a few foreign tournaments and beat foreigners then all of a sudden he's amazing, sick good top tier terran(which he is, but still, people didn't think this beforehand). | ||

IM - the greatest ever? Yankees of SC2? IM - 1 GSTL championship despite the most stacked lineup in SC2. Yankees - 1 World Series in the past decade despite the most stacked lineup in baseball (usually) If that's what you meant, then yeah the comparison is apt. | ||

He mentioned in an interview he ask permission from his teacher to take a day off just to play at the GSL. (He said this after he all-killed TL and another time in Code S Ro16 or Ro32) He mentioned in his interview after beating MKP that he was in the process of transferring school and that's why he had a lot of time to practice. | ||
