Such a great livethread, totally letting people know how the games are going and everything
/end rant from someone who is unable to watch.

Hero lost first game due to collossi misrally, second to a failed immortal-sentry. He just won with a pre-brood timing
2-1 so far.

Can't help but feel that game one should/would have turned out similarly to this.

Why didnt he attack with the Corrupters from the side instead of head on?

Just going to pull a top 10 list out of my ass.

1. MVP
2. DRG
3. Leenock (pretty interchangeable with 4)
4. Life
5. Taeja: The Summer of Taeja was incredible Starcraft
6. Stephano: People are forgetting just how good he was for a while.
7. Gumiho: Clutch teamleague monster, 2 GSTL titles
8. MC: Always there or thereabouts, however he is very inconsistent.
9. Seed: Broke the Protoss duck in GSL.
10. HerO: Consistently good play

I'd stick in Rain, but he's not been around for the whole year. He's also just dropped to Code B. If he showed the kind of play we've seen from him so far, over a longer period he'd 100% be in here.

Is this for player of the yar? How could mkp not crack top 10 for what he did in the first half of the year and now back to back ro8 code S?

He hasn't made deep Code S runs, or had a good spell over foreign tournies in different periods. That said, not his fault that Prime can't send him everywhere. If he'd have won WCG he probably would have made it in but he didn't do that well there alas. Parting likewise, much as I love him didn't quite do it for me.

That and the glasses. He looks like what Elton John would look like if he was reincarnated as a Korean progamer.

Come on HerO for game 2! That was a bit sloppy on his part, but that pathing is ridiculous. Daybreak is a terrible map anyway, surprised people aren't more vocal in having it removed

I don't see how Gumiho can be ranked above marineking
Marineking won a MLG championship and a MLG arena. 3rd at another MLG.
Gumiho only made it past the ro32 of Code S 1 time this year. every other season he lost in the ro32 including one season where he lost to Thorzain
Marineking made it to the ro16 or higher in every season of Code S this year.
Gumiho won 2 GSTLs. sure.
Marineking won 1 GSTL where he 4 killed in the finals and led the GSTL season with the best record.
Sure, Gumiho is the better player right now, but for the whole year? no way

The first half of 2012 before Taeja's explosion was the year of MKP. He was unstoppable in like every match up. His games against DRG in the MLG arena's were just unreal.

Gumiho has been more consistent throughout the whole year. But MKP's peak was way higher this year.

Gumiho just performs better in GSTL, and MKP is just in a major slump right now

back to back top 8 in Code S is a major slump now?

he got 2-0 by ColTrimaster (or another Col terran) at MLG >_>

this just in, losing one game or not winning a tournament doesnt mean you are in a slump!

How dare you imply that a player is only not slumping when he wins every game he plays and places 1st in every tournament in the world? Lunatic.

depends who we are talking about if its Flash and he doesn't win every game its a slump.

Taeja got a ton of rep for the IPL TAC performance. Basically all killed or got 4 kills on every top korean team and almost double all killed IM in the finals. To me that is better than Gumiho or MKP to be honest. Those guys had way better supporting line ups. For Taeja it was literary Team Taeja.

If you want to talk about GSTL, Yonghwa all killed twice this season, yet nobody is talking about him :p
