On November 05 2013 08:18 The_Templar wrote: eagerly looking forwards to the aLive writeup in this case That’s enough of a go-ahead for me! 1. MMA Drink Count 0.5 Well statistically speaking, MMA is the most interesting player here. Why, you ask? Well, here and here are threads which include the top game of the year. Notice something? That’s right, they’re both MMA! Currently I believe Taeja vs Innovation during WCS Season 2 or maybe Scarlett vs Dream in Acer Teamstory Cup finals are vying for game of the year. “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho is the tale of a young man’s search for his purpose in life. Much as the protagonist there finds his own way through unknown lands to follow his destiny, so too does MMA, the Son of Boxer, struggle year after year to fulfill his destiny. In the Alchemist it is said that a thing that happens once may never happen again, but a thing that happens twice will almost certainly occur a third time. Just as MMA has fought a year defining game of starcraft at the end of two eras (2011, and the end of Slayers), so too will he rise to challenge once more at the greatest tournament of 2013. (I hope). 2. MC Drink Count: 1.0 I would be remiss if I didn’t list MC second. As a proud citizen of Aiur, I stand firmly behind our president as he makes this historic run to the cup. My room mate in University, a long time lurker of these forums, Mr. Frenchy has cheered on The Presidentoss time and time again, and time and again the presidentoss gives us all something to cheer FOR. Sometimes it’s just personality, sometimes it’s a never give up attitude, but every now and then it is a truly epic run which reminds us all why we voted on him in a simpler time: The Presidenttoss Gets Results. --I won’t lie team, I was going to slowly increase my beverage count… But then my room mates decided it was time for an impromptu drunken LAN sesh. Thus, I stand before you a thoughourghly intoxicated Dougler. It’s also 2:00 in the fricken morning, but I’ll do this for e-sports.-- 3. Naniwa Right, well folks Naniwa’s easy. That’s what Leenock, Life, and everyone else said at least! Fact of the matter is, Naniwa is less the King in the North lately, more-so the Kong in the North. But you know what you gotta respect? This sonofabitch never gives up. He is the Prince Zuko of the starcraft world. Nothing is given to him easy, he doesn’t usually end up on the right sight of luck, but he doesn’t want luck, he doesn’t need it. No, Naniwa strives to be the best, and love him or hate him, you really can’t help but admire that. When he was sitting 300 points below the cut off line, did he give up? No sir, he smashed his way through a difficult IEM bracket to earn his place among starcraft’s elite. Though I might not be the biggest fan of the guy, I have to respect his tenacity. He’s not at all a bad choice to represent the foreigner scene. Okay, that paragraph was WAY too coherent. Let me find another drink and come back here. ...NAILED IT… Okay, we’re back on the drinks per write-up bandwagon. 4. Polt Drink Count: ~7 ‘MURICA! See, that’s the thing. Why cheer for Naniwa when you have a perfectly good Texan superstar right here? I mean, I get that you might not “appreciate” his rough and tumble maverick style. But you know what? Polt’s got experience. He faced off against MC in the first ever GSL, he’s earned your respect e-sports soldier! The game has changed, but the players are the same! Polt’s been there through it all, and now he’s back, for Rambo IV. Will you see him as the washed up veteran, or the war hero who’s still got what it takes? The choice is yours! 5. MVP Drink Count ~9 MVP… What can I say about MVP that hasn’t been said before? Nothing. Lets move on. It’s now 3:30 after my room mate got home and had deep and awesome drunk conversations with me. 6. Jaedong… Eh, it’s probably still in all of our best interests if I continue along. 7. Hero Drink Count: ~10 Ah, HERO! The winter soldier eh? Yep, now there’s a protoss that makes me question my undying loyalty to the Boss Toss. I mean, sure, at first it was cute that Hero only won in the winter months, but by the end of last winter it got down right spooky. Now all I know is that it really doesn’t matter what other factors are at play, Hero is interesting because he’s gonna win Blizzcon 2013. Winter is coming my friends, and with it, Hero rises from his slumber once more. 8. Taeja 9. Bomber 10. DuckDeok When DuckDeok played at WCS Season 3 Finals you may have heard the Canadian crowd chant their ‘Quacks’ particuarly rythmically. There, is a fascinating reason for this. Any trueborn Canadian will tell you that all Canadians must pass seven rites of passage before their eighteenth birthday. There is the Canadian Birthrite, where upon their birth the Canadian is held by a member of the ‘67 Toronto Maple Leafs who then shake snow onto them with their hockey stick. At the age of five is the rite of pass-age, where two youngsters will pass a hockey puck back and forth for hours, days or sometimes weeks before one of them “passes out”. Eventually these culminate in the ultimate test: The Canadian Rite of North-West Passage, where we find a a creek or small stream, declare it’s world altering importance, and to it’s head and fight a polar bear. One of the less known rites however, is the Mighty Ducks Marathon where Canadians rehearse the epic quack speech again and again. All this to say, that DuckDeok is ours. You can have Polt, but Duckdeok is surely an honorary Canadian and therefore the most awesome dude at this qualifier. 11. Maru I had a dream last night. Maru vs MVP meet in the semifinals. Bomber eagerly awaits them in the finals. It’s a heart wrenching best of five, with epic games going each way until finally they’re on the last map. It’s Akilon Wastes and it’s split map. MVP flaunting his brilliant mech play, Maru utilizing his mobile bio force to poke holes in MVP’s defences. The game goes on and on. Finally, Maru see’s his chance. He surges forward, only to have MVP opt for the base race. When the dust settles, Maru is left with a lone marine, and a medivac gaurding his last refiniery against 8 marauders that MVP made earlier and had forgotten about but now has positioned around his last missile turret. After a few minutes of dancing around eachother the crowd has grown dead silent. A message on the screen soon breaks the moment: [Prime] Maru: FOR MARINEKING! [Prime] Maru: FOR PRIME! He dives in, and dodges the marauder shots, his one marine hopping in and out. In fifteen seconds it’s over. MVP is devestated, but the prime team rushes the stage, and there’s marineking hugging Maru for vanquishing his demons! And as far as you all are concerned, the dream ended there and didn’t get wierd with MKP making out with Maru and me questioning my sexuality… (kidding! Well, mostly). ... Revival: Here's the thing with revival, people. He's just TOO similar to Alive for it to be a coincidence. I mean, two Koreans on the same team with names originating from the same latin root word? I must do research to get to the bottom of this. It all starts with Puma I think, he paved the path for this vivacious rogues. Now, let us see what's behind this link here. Alive: There is no conspiracy. Alive and revival are both korean human starcraft players. All is well. Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Coach Lee R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn. | ||
