Classic was a powerhouse in Proleague early seasons but i feel hes getting a bit predictable. Time to add in some all ins like her0

He could have pulled an mma and attacked while the ramp was forcefielded

One of the worst sentry drops I've seen. Was his warp-in on cooldown or something?
Yeah, he Warped-in like 5 Stalkers just seconds before the Drop, which is sad.

I think for many of these guys it's probably hard to keep the motivation when you reach the very top as well. Even a small drop in that sense in such a rampantly competitive scene will be brutal on you.
Been pondering this, best players never to win a GSL?
This isn't so much in terms of all-time, but more players who looked among the very best at a period and then didn't win it.
Parting when he unleashed his Templar play and looked unstoppable vT, but didn't bring it home springs to mind. Innovation1.0 losing to Soulkey is another for me. Leenock never winning a GSL too

Are the rest of the games on main stream?

soO only 1 game away from qualifying from Dreamhack Winter.
Also if he wins it the KeSPA Cup will be the only tournament this where he hasn't finished at least top 4.

I agree, people like to shit on him because his win came at a time Protoss dominance was quite annoying and couldn't really deal with the aftermath of his victory (probably less "hunger" for winning) but I'm pretty sure he, like Dear, will make a resurgence in 2015.

Taeja. By far the best player to never win GSL.
