Can anyone tell me when the first HotS GSL season will start?
The Up&Downs will be played on March 4th through 6th, and (I assume 5/6 groups) 11th through 13th; so certainly not before that.

Not really. Great play by both, but it wasn't a very long series and Flash was clearly outclassing Rain throughout. I think people are just excited to finally see Flash make code S.
sounds alright to me. the laboreous series' are starting to get old anyway. i'm interested in some shorter games. and yeah I'm sure people are excited about flash's play coming up to form.

Oh Rain definitely isn't a top 3 protoss anymore. Top 3 kespa toss, with maybe sOs as the top of that list.
Rain still doesn't hold me as stronger than Parting, Squirtle and MC though. I mean maybe he still is up there, but he just looks so far from the near invincible kespa player that stormed into OSL and GSL last year.
MC really is not that strong anymore and Squirtle recently has been good but not great. Overall i would say Rain is still a top 2 protoss trailing Parting.
top 3 toss are flying rain and shy
Flying? are you drunk?
K dude,,,who knows more about the game. An actual progamer, or you?
Ad MKP is bad because Idra said so, right?
Actually Idra retracted that statement fyi. Its silly when casuals argue with players that play the game at the highest level.
Lol when? Idra was still calling mkp bad on stream like a week or two ago. Players like idra can't be trusted on other players skills because they don't judge them objectively and do it on whether they like that player or their play style. Plus, Idra's opinion can be bought so easily as we've seen with huk. Idra was calling huk awful and terrible during that one mlg, then shortly after, huk joins eg and suddenly idra is singing huk's praises.
Well for me it was one of the greatest skill display in TvP i have ever seen for a long time.
yes Taeja is really good with ghost, way better than Flash, but Flash today showed us some crazy multi tasking, and the obs snipe with the viking, never seen any terran doing that, after he realized he overproduced vikings, BAM use them to harass, most player dont even know vikings can land...
so much action we didnt even have time to see flash take his expos.. it was so crazyyyyy, im talking about game #1 of course.
Flash hype always makes me smile. Like it needs a disclaimer "The following work is of fiction and any likeness to real people or events is coincidence."

The real issue here is thinking TT1 has authority as an "actual progamer."

Pretty much take everything Idra says with a grain of salt, he continued to complain about Zerg when it was winning everything in sight. He also seems to like to trash on other players to help distract from his own lackluster play.

Well the real issue now here is you, since you think you have authority to judge people as "actual progamers".
