Closer than you expected? You have a very low opinion of HerO Both of you are correct.  I mean, there are players I don't like, but that doesn't mean I pretend that they're bad There used to be a time when I too would root for players I knew were talented and skilled, but had very a fragile mindset or crippling nerve issues. The heartbreak was too much, as I'm sure you and Olli and others can attest, so I stopped doing that and started rooting for consistent players instead. And it certainly doesn't help he's one of the most overrated players, which is none of his fault, certainly, but it can get extremely annoying at times. ^^; It is heartbreaking. So the reason you don't root for HerO is because players like him cause heartbreak, and the reason you dislike him is because he is overrated. I can see that, seeing as I used to hate Scarlett because everytime she won everyone would freak out and her fanboys annoyed me. Then I thought about it and realized it wasn't the player I disliked, but the fans and casters who overhyped her.
I'm well aware it isn't the player I dislike, but I'm also aware that the more they lose the more bound the hype train is to peter out and quell. After all, there's nothing I can do against fanbois, you can't cure stupid. I'm not referring to the people in this thread for instance, but rather those who pretend like HerO's the second coming of Bisu (even though most of them have never watched Bisu play) even when he's performing horribly by any standard and would stand by him being the best Protoss in SC2 history. What can I do against those? Nothing, I can instead root for other players who I like more, for them to beat HerO, and for the morons to hopefully sod off and find something else to circlejerk about, something a little more rooted in reality perhaps.
I can't complain about reasonable people like you, I understand your feelings and also your pain when HerO loses, I've been through that many times and continue to go through it whenever I don't see my favorites continue to struggle in mediocrity (relative to the absolute top they once were) but the fanbois do get to me eventually.

"what are you gonna do this year MC?"
"Play in tournaments and destroy there - win a lot of money. And get a good diet and become playboy like Rotti." LOL :D

Well it was MC who originally said that HerO could be the next dragon of SC2 haha but no I understand. Meanwhile my three favorite players are HerO, Bomber, and Life, so I'm sure the heart attack is just around the corner

"of course man, i love you man, EZ money" hahahahha this kid <3

'Do you have any shoutouts?' 'Carmac and Reis is disgrace"

MC has really come a long way from the "me all-in, he drone drone drone, me win" that made everyone love him for using English when Artosis still did those post-GSL match interviews.

Can we please have a Rotti vs ToD PvP mega final later tonight?
|
Awesome tournament Tod! I think it was really well produced and with great players, matches, and of course, casters. I love the Tod + Rotterdam duo
Thank you!

He's stylistically entertaining and actually IMO underrated when you look at his actual accomplishments, but yeah some of the more retarded fanboys get to me. I had to go into his stream the other day and e-slap some guy who said 'HerO is literally the only Protoss who micros'

I really hope to see a warer.com invitational 2, the games were a lot of fun and rotterdam + tod might just be my favorite casting duo

Just stopping by to say:
FUCK YEAH MC! :D

Not that I'm trying to argue that HerO's current shape is #1 protoss level, but he has at many points throughout his career been able to make a very very good case for his being the protoss king pin.
Don't think I'd call that overrated... not even now, especially with him still making finals like this.
As an aside, I like my track record of calling future Protoss gosus ;d
1) Called MC as best protoss in the world a couple of months before he won his GSL and went on to dominate the year.
2) Called Huk's rise months in advance
3) Called HerO's rise months in advance
4) ... Called Sage's rise but so far I have been wrong on this one..... but I believe!!
/end brag

Awesome tournament! Thanks ToD, Rotti, Warer.com and all the players It's been a long time since I stayed up to watch a full 7-game PvP finals, but it was worth it

Oh definitely, but again bearing in mind that some people seem to think he's some unbeatable god even when he's losing or getting eliminated early (like at Assembly) he is overrated in that sense. There were definitely points where he more or less was the best Protoss, but sadly he is a very shaky and streaky player and some people don't seem to want to accept that.
As for Sage, I know how it feels... I too rooted for him really hard when he started impressing, but as with other Protoss players (especially those on IM) the Artosis hype turned out to be a curse. D:
