Molecraft is pretty good at solocasting but he just cant get the duo dynamic going. He constantly interrupts his co-commentator, ignores what they have to say and sometimes downright SIGHs into the microphone because his co-host is talking wich seems to annoy him because he wants to talk endlessly.

SKT's soO scored a narrow 4-2 victory over Life to advance to the GSL finals. He will face Zest on April 5th <--- wasn't it 4-3 ?

Today's faceless korean becomes tomorrow's fan favorite. The problem is sc2 is so volatile. Since the game is so coin flippy in mirror matchups and all-ins are so strong, no one can dominate for longer than a month or two, tops. THAT is the main problem with sc2. The faceless koreans are boring, because their interview responses are so generic, but i recall Soo's interview when he faced dear in the finals were quite funny.


Yeah, Soulkey was just a scrub throughout all of lasts year and not dominating at all. Taeja and Polt each winning 5tournaments just comes from volatility of the game.
And soO making two consecutive GSL finals is a great reason to whine about inconsistency of topplayers..


Domination = winning tournaments. Placing high consistently just means you're good. That's not domination. The game is volatile. soulkey has placed HIGH, but he hasn't won a championship for a while, and pretty sure he got eliminated in this season's group stages of gsl. guys like taeja and polt will suffer random eliminations, as does liquid hero and so on and so forth

innovation hyped up as the greatest ever. then hellbat nerf came and he fell off after getting picked apart by terrans in tournaments, then fall off even harder after he joined foreign team

dear won two back to back tournaments, only to fall off after joining foreign team.

sos wins the ultimate wcs tourney only to fall off completely, and randomly wins the IEM world tourney, only to get owned in the gsl upon return to korea.

then there are the quick one off GSL champs like seed, sniper, roro, jjakji

i can keep going. again, the game is too volatile, and yesterday's faceless guy is tomorrow's fan favorite. whoever wins this will be a favorite a while, but then will most likely drop off


There are few sports in general that have that kind of a dominating player/team, because the level of competition is so high.

And imagine a tournament without any upsets. Wouldn't this be boring as hell?


Having a consistent winner or at least finalist isn't the same thing as having no upsets whatsoever at any point in a 32 man tournament. And honestly, it wasn't that boring in Brood War, in fact it was hella hype when players remained strong for enough time to be able to win multiple OSLs/MSLs.

I think fishjie is exaggerating a bit, but at the same time he does kinda have point. The crown at the very top seems to be shifting really quickly, almost on a monthly basis even, and to me personally, as a viewer and general follower of SC2 professional competition, that is a lot less interesting than having someone crush face for a longer period of time, like Mvp, MMA, DongRaeGu, Life, TaeJa managed to do in 2011 and 2012.

Also, regarding the convo above, I agree that it's pretty idiotic to think soO is just some random nobody who's never gonna do well ever again.

+ Show Spoiler +

But then again... SKT Zerg hue hue hue


In my opininon this is only because we have 3 GSLs in a year instead of the 10 we had before. I would say that volatility is even going down instead of up.

Every hots champion last year is at least still relevant today. Soulkey ro16, Maru ro8, Dear ro16.
The finalists aren't too bad either with Rain placing ro4 and soO ro2. Innovation seems to be the exception to the rule with failing in Code A. I am blaming the foreign team for that. He still does well in overseas tournaments.

Even RorO had a resurgence and ended in the Ro16.

Compare this to last years results and you will see that consistency in the big picture went up instead of down.

I remember the last MLG when there were Kespa qualifiers and soO, Dear and I think Stats made it through. Everyone complained that they were low-tier Kespa players, but look at them now lol.

I blame balance as well, the way Innovation went out was pretty stupid and he got caught in a 3 toss group when Blink just got really popular and wasn't even close to being figured out. Might say he got caught when the T metagame was behind Protoss. It's the only reason he went out.

Ignore this guy. Callin soO faceless is just a blatant insult that people think is cool to do when they don't pay attention to SC2 very well. It is so frustrating to see people still getting on the forums here and seriously belittling players undeservedly. And here's a nice picture of soO being dominant for longer then a few months. Hopefully next time this guy will educate himself before posting.

[image loading]

So where are those Ro16 exits consistant domination? It's consistant, especially back-to-back GSL finals, and I'm not taking anything off this guy in terms of skill. But to me as a casual fan, soO appears to be a sniper-like player in terms of face, at least.
