In the playoffs I expect him to lose, it has become standard. Bear in mind that he's still a young player right? I mean season-wise and A-team wise, not age-wise. I reckon that if he can conquer his nerves, he'll be in a good position to replace/reinforce the Brotoss line. Seriously though, I feel as if SKT really needs some good Z players. It seems like you can practice almost exclusively vT or vP again SKT and still be kinda okay. | ||

After about a month of Proleague, I'd completely fallen for Woongjin Stars line-up, loved how solid it was, loved the play of numerous players and will always love ZerO for being the zerg to really bring Queens into play vs Mech and vs HT play in BW, which I'd longed for for so long. I always liked STX Soul second and they have never won a final (or gotten to the finals?) so I'd really like STX to make it. Plus, for some reason, I have really been enjoying seeing Rain fail. In response to IntoTheHeart, this guys fandom is all over the place. Look at the players he listed in his profile quote lol. | ||

Actually they were much better before (during BW, and maybe early WoL too, don't know, wasn't watching). Immediately after the GG they would cut to the loser's face and let the audience enjoy the various dejected reactions. A few seconds later they would show the winner just in time for the high fives and the eventual little ceremony. But now they've gone all PC and start with showing the winner's face, so when they finally cut to the loser he's had time to collect himself. It's not nearly as funny and I miss it every single time. | ||

Had he won his ace matches then we would have made it to the finals. He's not a young played anymore he should be used to the spotlight and pressure now. He is not a proper successor of Boxer, Oov, Bisu, Fnatasy ace masters. | ||

Hasn't Rain only been an ace-level player for one season? | ||

I only wish sOs hadn't gotten mauled so badly in the WCS finals, but Innovation is so impressive so one can't blame him too much. Could someone clarify for me, does the third series get played today after this if SKT T1 do win, or is it played on another day? I thought in the past (in Brood War at least) it was played on the same day. | ||

They were horrible when they first transitioned to wol, zooming in on players faces at completely random times etc. They're still not as good as they were in bw but they are getting better. | ||
