People underestimating HoSeo.

They live in a little dorm room, have probably not touched WoL in months, and have been practicing HotS with their lives depending on it.

You going to bet against HoSeo's new crew of MadBull, Ssassne, EllenKey? They're going to wreck MVP. It's over. $3,000 to MVP is just some extra party money they can use to go out and eat more Korean BBQ. $3,000 for HoSeo would be more money than the entire team has made in a year.

They're hungry.

Fionn: hoping his hipster bets will pay off since 2012.

3. The Life Line of ZeNex In 2011, ZeNex looked like they might become a new power in the Korean scene. They had Byun, GSL semifinalist, someone who was able to beat MVP in the GSL, conquering the Korean Ladder with numerous accounts and having the personality to become a star in the international scene; Coca, the young Zerg who had already made a GSL quarterfinal, getting a lot of hype in the Korean scene for his unbelievable ZvP; and finally, Puzzle, the Code A champion, the man with the fastest APM in the entire GSL, destroying everyone on his way to Code S. They had a core that most teams would be jealous of. Sadly, these three didn't end the year on ZeNex, with Coca first leaving to join Slayers and promptly making the finals of MLG Raleigh; Puzzle moving to Slayers also, taking his Code S spot with him; and finally, Byun, the face of the team, leaving to join his friend MarineKing on Prime, leaving ZeNex with nearly nothing nothing. Their best prospect after those three, Hack, also decided to leave, joining Startale.

Now, at the start of year, there is a little bit of light. Line (aka Suhosin), their captain and the player who made the amazing run to the Super Tournament quarterfinals, has finally made it into Code A and looks like he might live up to the potential people thought he had at the end of his Super Tournament run. Also, the player who I think you should really look out for, the 14-year-old Life, has also made Code A, after being atop of the Korean Grandmaster ladder for a lot of 2011. With these two players, you could believe that we could be seeing two new ZeNex players in Code S very soon.

Sadly, my prediction for 2012 is that, no, ZeNex will not get these two players to Code S, as I see both of them, at least Life, being poached by another team. Life is everything you would want in a player; he's young, has major potential, and the work ethic that you would want out of a player. He practices on the ladder endlessly, playing the best players in Korea for hours at a time. His play reminds me of Coca before he broke out in the GSL, and I wouldn't put it past a team like TSL, Slayers or another Korean team to pick him up if and when he does well in GSL. I would really like to see ZeNex make a return to prominence, but it's going to be hard without a stable sponsor and money coming into the team. If they want to be around in 2013, they'll need to keep both their star Zergs, but it's going to be extremely difficult.
