Clearly the Kasparov of StarCraft 2 hasn't showed up yet. We've had some great players in WoL but no one as dominant as Kasparov was in chess. That's why almost every season has had a different champion. It could also be that this game is too difficult for there to be a SC2 Kasparov

So glad Flash won. It is always nice to see guys from the SC BW scene doing well in the new setup.

Before that happens you definitely need the game to be stable first. Meaning all 3 expansions and no major patches. Then there could be a dominant player.
Also, chess isn't the best comparison. Both players utilise the same tools (same amount and type of chess pieces + tiles), but in SC2 there are 3 races and many different units as well as maps.

Wow. That certainly backfired. When it Rains, it pours.

Really sad that JYP, MMA, and Rain lost x.x

He lost to Leenock twice, which everybody know how much of a beast he is. Extended series also didn't do him any favours.

I thought you couldn't go down faster than Seed did by losing to Center, but apparently you can.

I knew dropping his Code S spot was a bad idea. Eliminated from Code A by some nobody, bet he regrets it now. 2-0 Even. Haven't watched the games yet but that's def a huge blow for Rain.
On a sidenote: Hell yeah Flash!!! Always a sunshine in my day when he does well. Code S incoming!!!!!

But let that be the focus point, there's no reason to say his run at MLG was bad, when in fact it wasn't.

Watch him win the next OSL or something. It's time people start realizing that code B/A/S means pretty much nothing and GSL as a tournament doesn't determine anything except who the GSL champion is.
Your opinion is not a popular one, but I agree with it.

You say that like Dream played poorly or didn't also get top8 at an mlg event or that rain hasn't been traveling constantly for like a month.
