He's not that random and pretty good and undervalued, but I was rooting for LucifroN as well, of course. He deserved to lose, though, unfortunately he made a lot of mistakes in the three games I watched, Sting simply played a bit better. Usually LucifroN looks better than he did here, a shame, could've made a good run.
not to devalue the guy but he is kind of random. Aside from his really great run in TSL4 he hasn't really done much else, and he had one brief appearance in Code A this year. Lucifron had a big lead in the cloud kingdom game but just traded very inefficiently and despite having the better econ for pretty much the entire game he just couldn't get into a good position to kill off stings army.
Well he was on NSHoseo and then teamless, which means Code A was actually the only stage he had available. And a lot of excellent players have bitten the dust in Code A and the preliminaries.
I wonder how much Lucifron has practiced for TvT lately, looking at this tournament/BWC I wouldn't think he would be putting in that much exrat time on the match up.

Every Korean is "pretty good and undervalued" until they start attending every foreign tournament and placing high.
You mean just like Lucifron and Vortix?
ehh I know they're not Korean, but you know what I mean
Their story line is kinda special in that they literally came out of nowhere and started kicking ass at The Gathering 2012. I'm not even sure they were really practicing that much before that, since Lucifron said he stopped playing to focus on his studies. And there's also the fact that they're brothers.
Sting's been around for quite a while, and hasn't done anything too significant at all. The only reason anyone really knows him is because of TSL4 where he did all-ins every game.
But of course, foreigners are still awful compared to random Koreans, which is quite sad.

i never said he wasn't legit but I was agreeing that he is a sort of random player in that he hasn't really made any big runs aside from TSL4. He deserved to win that series bc he just simply outplayed lucifron while, for the most part, being behind. Before western wolves picked him up I had forgotten all about sting lol.

well, if he wins this he can become a not so random player.
I never forgot about Sting because a lot of GSL players thanked him for practicing with them in their interviews.

when Lucifron said he stopped playing I think he meant "not as much"....SCII is not something you can just stop playing altogether and still kick ass

TSL4, practice partner for most Korean gosus and he was a KSL regular.
I love the Artosis/Kaelaris combo, funny jokes and great analysis. I watch so many tournaments but this is seriously the best cast I have seen in a very long time.
