EPTIncontrol has had Destiny's number for the last few games I saw them play, and now that Destiny is going almost full Idra in his views on the Protoss all Incontorl has to do to win is stress him out with a cannon rush or something in game one and its all over but the crying.

I think Idra-Jinro was the same, as well as Boxer-Nada, and probably a number of others I've forgotten. No matter how many votes there are, it's incredibly unlikely to break away from 50% +/- a few votes. I'm sure there's some sort of a scientific explanation for this.  | ||

Why do people keep saying this stuff? It hurts my brain. It's not like Naniwa doesn't have his fair share of stupid/embarrassing losses to players he would normally beat. Believe it or not, the conditions a player is under can and do influence results. Since Tefel beat Naniwa, can we conclude that Scarlett should be able to do the same with little difficulty? No, that would be fucking stupid. If Naniwa wins, and there's a high possibility he will, it won't be because Hitman exposed some kind of weakness with Scarlett, considering she beat MC 2-0, Stardust 3-1(the guy who just tooled Nani 3-0, again) and almost beat the blizzcon champion in a Bo5. It will be because he played or prepared better for that match, on that night. Good players sometimes lose to worse players, it happens. Flash lost to random zergs in BW now and then. Shine beat Bisu 2-0. | ||

Liquipedia says: "Steven "Destiny" Bonnell is a retired Zerg player from the United States. He has since switched to playing League of Legends" Also his main achievement was 4th place in "4th MLG North American Invitational 2011". So, a retired less-then-mediocre American zerg who plays LoL. Not thaaaat excited. Not at all. ^^ | ||

Destiny simply has a very sizeable fanbase in SC2 and is one of the oldest and possibly the first really big amongst SC2 streamers.

Starting to feel that Christmasy tingle in the belly - hype! | ||

Lot of controversy surrounding him/his streams/actions. Getting drunk, got a following, always streamed 1080p crisp quality, coined the term "brofestors", used infestors a lot and was very creative with them. Still streams SC2, still popular stream. Key figure for a long time in WoL. Still GM in HotS. Something like that | ||

Something like that Yeah, he's a very interesting (and polarizing) personality, often straddling the line between "hilarious" and "kinda/ very douchebaggy". Pretty much epitomizes "i don't give a fuck", and is a pretty cool guy in person. | ||

Heh ^^ Does anyone know after how many days you're allowed to vote in a poll again? Nearly every time I vote in a poll and come back to it after a week(-ish), it allows me to vote a second time (and actually counts my vote a second time). I'm not sure why that happens but I'm curious how much downtime is required between votes (and if you can vote a third and fourth time after the same hiatus, etc.). | ||
