i predict this thread to not exceed 20 pages. and half of them will be "lol, not gonna watch" posts....


so creating new fan favourites is impossible, right?

For tournaments to be successful people like MC, MMA, etc. have to keep winning and winning and winning because only those players are the big fan favourites lol

I don't know, the crowd loves herO - Could he maybe be a new fan favourite?!

Gonna be a good one!


Zest D:


He is top toss without a doubt, but not the best or second. The day he makes it to the deep end/winning a solo tournament he will be a contender.

Depends on if he does well in GSL. Any of herO, sOs, and Zest could take the championship I think.

To be completely honest, crowd was chanting sOs a lot.
And they even gave him standing ovation. Polish crowd deliver.

A lot of people still think that if sOs did beat JD, then he has to be hated by everyone in community except cheesy strats fanboys.

Do we consider him as someone from Renaissance or probably from antique time?

I'm an sOs fan. I'm not even mad he beat JD, who I am also a fan of.

But Mozart is a shitty and overrated composer.

This IEM has been soooooooo incredible!!~~....herO v Hyun Polar night, Polt v Nani ( lol through a megaphone!), jakjji v revival (all maps!), herO v San Polar night, sOs v jakjji (all maps - CARRIERS MOFO!), Polt V Dear game 5 (Polt is a monster!), Teaja v Life Heavy Rain, herO v Polt all maps! (herO is a wizard...how the fuck does he do it?) sOs V taeja - (the power of Blink in the hands of a Titan!)

And now the PvP geniuses in the finals... Fitting, poetic and just. sOs winning another 100K will be huge! herO winning 3 IEMs in under a year will be huge.

Have stayed up all night watching everygame and loved every minute of it.

Prediction: sOs 4 - 2 herO ... sOs exhibits why this game of SC2 is fucking brilliant...just when you doubters, haters, and know it alls think you have the game figured out, pinned down and pidgeon holed...sOs comes along and shows you creativity in never seen before strategies and compositions at the most elite level possible.

CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!

Thank you IEM, thank you SC2 pros, thank you TL and thank you Twitch.
