Heart goes with Hero and whoever. I'd be happy with any, so long as Hero's still with us. Maru is good but he is not a prodigy on the level of Life or Creator. His games lack the flair that make you say, "yep, that kid gonna be the best player in the world someday." hrm, i would disagree. maru has shown some of the best games in the past year, e.g: maru-seed in KSL, epic base trade maru-effort in code A, with epic micro holds maru-jyp with nukes in TvP maru allkilling ST maru-july in GSTL finals with the raven/banshee play maru-alive in up/downs with BC rush he's pretty good :D Life and Creator already have results. Maru needs to show up this season if he wants to be mentioned along with the other prodigies. Maru also doesn't have a distinct playstyle, unlike Life or Creator, that makes him really stand out. He is good though obviously
haha i would say really funky games are pretty distinctive :p the games i just listed were all pretty distinctive!
of course maru has less results than life or creator, but he's also a fair bit younger than them (half a year ish) so we'll see how far he can go :D i think he's not the underdog in this group, it's a very even group.

Between him and Creator will one of them achieve OptimusPrime and save the team?

prime doesn't really need saving though to be honest, they've actually had a really good year despite a small downturn of results of late (and even then creator has held them high with WCS KR and TSL4). we'll see if another optimus does emerge though! :D

The only possible problem with Prime right now is how small their roster is. Need to continue developing those future superstars afterall

HerO & Soulkey or Curious to come out of this group, I don't think Maru has a chance.
|
Curious is on one of his "looking average" times. Soulkey is a mystery even with his MvP run. Hero is looking good from WCS and last code s. Maru looking solid from code a and mlg qualifiers.
Im going Hero and Maru to advance.

Was hoping Hack was coming up big months ago when he qualified, or almost qualified, for everything.
Sort of everything. Like TSL4 qualifier, OSL Qual Ro4, WCS Qual, Ro24 in Code A. Was making a small impression in almost every tournament.
Then he lost to JYPvT in Code A ro24 and it was all basically downhill for a bit.
This kid did mech vs Creator in TvP. My heart swooned~

Yeah, imo he's slightly favored but this group looks hard as hell.
Yes Maru has a really funky style but he makes it effective as well. Recently, that game in code A against JYP was really impressive (and no one can say it was because of JYPvT as he was actually playing really well in this game and had the lead until he got owned by those nukes). Wonder if he can do this again against HerO.

Dunno if that is good for Hack or sad for Bomber =/

Bomber playing his best is still above that of Hack, it's just sad he rarely play's at his best.
So overall i guess Hack is better for he's consistant so far and even improving gradualy.
Bomber reminds me a bit of Baby in BW, extreme hights in gameplay then extreme lows.

I dunno, I haven't been in awe of Bomber's play in a year. Don't think he's impressed me in any game in 2012 unless I missed it
