It's paid off for HotS though. He's backkkkkkk Parting is genuinely no better than HerO in my view.

HerO vs Leenock on Antiga Shipyard was the most sad I have ever been in SC2 thus far. Not even angry, I had lost the capacity by that point.
I don't understand how Leenock did not deserve that game. Are you really so blinded by bias? Just because a Zerg is down on bases automatically means they're supposed to lose? Your dismissal of the validity and deservedness of his victory, and discrediting of his skill, is tiresome to say the least; and begotten of a combination of shameless bias and ignorance.

I like how you get so mad when he just said he got sad after the loss without saying anything of the things you say he said
In other news U/D Group D is fucking nuts

It was a stupid fucking game in which Leenock got pulled apart and won because he nailed some fungals in the middle of the map. No hate on Leenock, the guy is phenomenal, silly that he was able to pull it off.

Wait, you rooted for Rain over Mvp? I don't understand. Don't underestimate the need for a true, indisputable best Protoss player. I mean have we ever had one since MC's early success? Perhaps PartinG for a brief period from late late 2012 to early 2013. I disagree, Rain was already better than him then. late late 2012 was when Parting won two majors in a row. One of which was over Rain's dead body. Parting never beat Rain in WCS 2012 at any stage. Creator took him down for Parting Oh right. Rain threw that last game hard against Creator. How could I forget. the greatest 4 gate ever imo Best games with a 4 gate in them in no particular order (including both actual games and funny games): Naniwa vs Goody MC vs Inca (Actually good) MC vs White-ra Creator vs Rain Yonghwa vs some nerd in GSTL Choya vs Nestea Genius vs Hyvaa (He literally just did a 2010 WoL beta 4 gate and won.) yea the genius vs hyvaa one was funny as shit and I remember MC vs InCa on XNC being pretty good as they were basically the 2 best 4 gaters of the era and both had like 80%+ win rates in pvp in the early days
Those were some sick micro battles. i miss 4gate and MC

I think we can all agree end of WoL was terrible, let's not talk about that anymore. I prefer to pretend it never happened.

YugiOh, Trap, and Fantasy are all best at vZ, while Squirtle is ok. He's probably doomed.
I expect Trap and Squirtle to make it out, but I am praying for YugiOh

I don't see much bias in this... Many people agreed at that time that it was pretty silly that Leenock pulled that come-back after being dismantled by HerO the whole game... No hate on Leenock, that wasn't "that easy", but still, that seemed a bit too simple to pull such a reverse sweep after being down the whole game or so.

I want Rain to crush Bomber but this should be close. Though imo Rain is the better player overall, Bomber is still a TvP beast in HotS.

End of WoL was cool if you liked ZvZ

*crickets*
heathens!

Can't wait for group D. I might actually be able to watch some of it because of Fantasy. lol
