I think Jangbi might be the next big protoss. Had a misstep in Code S but easily re qualified for season 2 and crushed his WCG groups. He didn't drop a map in either Code A or WCG...

Jangbi looks good for sure, interested to see him going forwards.

Dissapointing viewer numbers


Its PvP and PvZ. Neither are crowd favorites.


TIL hero is not a crowd favorite with his 500 page 900,000 views fan club


HerO is like mila kunis

a desirable and popular part of your cast but I don't think you're going to make much money on a movie when she's your primary star

That is only because he hasnt looked like one of the best in the world lately. If he was suddenly on soulkey/innovation level he would draw far more viewers than them. He has in the past drawn more than this on his own.

He really has been top tier of late, top 5 Protoss perhaps in recent form alone, and definitely one of the most entertaining playstyle wise.


I don't think he's top 5 quite yet. Getting close though, but something seems to be missing.




If he was consistent and played like he's been playing this weekend all the time, then yeah he's top 5, but overall I wouldn't even give him top 10. He's very overrated.


To be fair though I don't think you can call someone who can consistantly beat even the absolute best players in Starcraft 2(Soulkey, Flash, Roro come to mind), the Ace of EG-TL and a two-time Dreamhack Champion overrated.

Maybe just super hyped, but not overrated. He definitely has the skill even if he doesn't show it all the time, which I think he mainly does now and inconsistencies are rare.

Hyped but not overrated sums it up quite well, if you look at his achievements and peaks of play. Number 8 in prizemoney apparently now, not too shabby

Hero 1-1 Oz.


Sick Live reports by stuchio!

Next post: Hero: ?-? Oz

Please add to OP, November!


Game 1 Hero vs Oz.

Oz goes for a double gate into stargate opener. Hero goes for triple gate aggression and proxies pylons far ahead. Oz tries to kill one and they battle with Hero losing his MSC and Oz losing his sentry. This lets Hero just bumrush into Oz's main and Oz tries to hold while his oracle dose damage, but 7 stalkers do more damage than just 1 oracle and he wins. Hero takes game 1.

Game 2 Hero vs Oz

Same builds, but Oz keeps his sentries alive. They do a lot of juking with Hero contianing Oz on 1 base and Oz teching to Robo to get 1 warp prism out to pressure with 4 zealots. The warp prism dies, and the 4 zealots are stopped. Hero expands and Oz gets another warp prism to break the contain and get his own nexus. Both players macro up to their comps. Hero gets void ray immortal and later archons while Oz gets a small group of blink stalkers to presure while going archon immoratls. Both get thirds, but Oz gets more damage done with his stalkers as he brings it lower. Oz runs around Hero with his stalkers forcing Hero's entire army to ambush them. This lets 2 archons 2 immortal 2 sentries to snipe rHero's third. Hero tries to bust Oz with his army, but his MSC dies to a feedback and he gets surrounded and dies. Oz takes game 2.

Oh god HAHAHAHAHA

Aligulac really found the perfect niche of a market with how lacking TLPD was. Doesn't it not even update all its games due to lack of contributors, as well as some other stuff.

Ready guys for the best player in the world according to TLPD?

Aligulac has the same problem with Koreans who mass stomp Europeans. They can mitigate it better than TLPD, but the "San Problem" can't really be solved in an elegant way :/

Hallucinated Collusus's are always so cool and makes so much sense, considering you don't even use all sentry energy anyway, really can trick your opponent and win you games or force your opponent back so you gain time.

Such great games in IEM by the way. Sad we didn't see more high caliber players.
