Are you serious...? MLG Raleigh had like 8 koreans and only like 2-3 of them were actually in Code S around that time.

yeah i'm serious. the championship bracket final few rounds are pretty legit for 2011. code S in 2011 doesn't really mean that much anyway

Point is, you predicted his fall and YOU WERE WRONG. He didn't fall. He won the world finals for season 2. You just for some reason want to continue with the notion that he's not a good player to validate your earlier claim. Way to go.

Code S was pretty much all that matter in 2011... A lot of the koreans went to MLG just to try to qualify for Code S...Code S's winner also got close to 10x as MLG winner (not including Providence).

MLG competition was good but it wasn't close to GSL, remember that HuK won an MLG with Koreans at it in 2011. He never came close to winning GSL despite being in Code S for pretty much the entire year.

Is there anyone who makes a list of songs they play in the GSL still? Trying to figure out a song with a female singer they had going last night... Lyrics had "in my head" repeating and a couple of lines that had "falling to pieces" and "everytime I turn on the tv" and such. I was in a game at the time it played so I had trouble paying attention to the lyrics -_- http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=428849¤tpage=21#410
You rock.

Kind of sucks for SC2 that their will never be a dominating force or world's best. Innovation was damn close, but BAM out of no where he's in a slump and joining a foreign team.
This is the last season I am giving Flash to show he's back, otherwise I will lose hope in an SC2 bonjwa. Sports with championship monopolies are pretty sucky though
Sports (and in this case SC2) where champion changes every two month suck even more.

Haha just watched the bomber games seriously LAW won ...like he didnt even belong there. Did anyone catch in G2 vs Soo Tasteless said bomber was using a gold league strat? I laughed so hard.
Ah well he'll show good play in a year or so after he gets back in Code S

It's silly how over-hyped Bomber is. He's good but nothing special, and certainly not a huge surprise if he drops out of R32. He's good enough to be a contender but so is half the field. Innovation is the only front runner in this pack and he can be taken down by just about any P or T having a good day.
Also, how did Bomber's Law become a thing. Why is there no DRG Law, or Life Law, or MKP Law? All players win some and lose some. Why is it that when Bomber loses its "The Law"? Silly silly silly.
A lot of players run hot cold. Bomber is one. MC is one. Doesnt mean they are bad they are the best when they are on. But do go bad and look like they dont even belong there sometimes.

I might have worded it wrong. It's not about prediction really. In the PR thread I made my point that Bomber isn't the strongest player in the world DESPITE winning season 2, because of how he won it and who he beat. Simply reiterated my point over here.
