That could change though. wtf...both TeamLiquid players not on main stage? | ||

However if we decide on which matchup will be awaited the most it got to be Mvp vs the Dong, regarding the fact that those two legends probably have the most notorious, loyal and die hard fanbase out of both SC2 and BW. You can see it in the poll, I expect nothing less than 300 comments for that match alone. Regarding who I expect to win, I got to go with Bogus, the player that has most to prove, most on stake (even more so than Mvp), his reputation as the most dominant figure in HotS might be on the line, his future and he probably needs that glorious finish to the year of 2013 to become the undisputed player of the year. He is still a monster, but others are catching up and try to make a name of their own, however the King of HotS might prepare too well for anybody to stop him on such big stage. He might even face his former team mate Dear, would be an epic TvP series to look forward. | ||

Even though both sets of fans are die hard and emotional, it rarely boils over into hatred for the opponent. It won't be the same as other matchups that will receive a lot of balance whine, shit talking and general jerkiness. Expect Soulkey vs Naniwa to be the worst. I might cry if JaeDong loses! Don't mind MVP, he is a awesome dude and all. But I want and need JaeDong to stop thinking of his opponents as ladies and coming second. + Show Spoiler + Hahaha, perverted mind! | ||

I really wish they could both advance | ||

He might even face his former team mate Dear, would be an epic TvP series to look forward. Completely agree. Bogus has been the best player of the year if he wins Blizzon. I don't know how people can even debate it. He made 4 ro8 in a row, stomped every KR qualifier like no other except maybe symbol and parting, led his team to proleague and won the ace matches in the finals, was an inch from winning GSL, season 1 finals. Yeah so you can say soulkey has the same level of consistency if not higher but bogus at his peak is the undisputed terminator. The only people I can see taking the #1 power rank spot from him at years end is soulkey and dear only if dear wins blizzcon. Taeja is obscenely up and down, Polt won three championships but they weren't against the cream of the crop (evidenced by his mauling at season 2 and season 3 finals). Maybe Maru if he wins blizzcon but seriously at Innovation's peak we had never seen Starcraft 2 like it. Let's hope he can snap Maru and show him who's the real Terran bonjwa. Edit: he still has WCG, DH winter and GSTL finals. The domination might increase further! | ||
