Of all the koreans that signed up for the open bracket, Stardust and Ragnarok were at the very bottom of the list of who i would have expected to make it to pool and then get top 2. O.O Gotta love a little unpredicability

To put it in perspective his run was:
ToD (worse than he is now) Lucifron (as good as he ever was) Innovation (better than he is now) Snute (slightly worse than he is now) HerO (Was a legit top 5 Protoss) Symbol (Top 5 Zerg) Loss to Leenock (Top 2 Zerg) Polt (Still Polt) 1 series win vs Leenock Loss to Leenock.

This is the longest tournament ever, started at 10am and as of 8pm they aren't even 75% of the way done. Not only that but they've skipped all of the open bracket games. Such a sad way to treat your fanbase.
