The thing I really love about the way MKP and sKyHigh won is it can't even be argued that it's some patch thing. MK was actually playing a style that was a complete 180* from what we've seen him do in the past, defensive, reactive, smart. And SkyHigh beat Flash in what appeared to be a world-class TvT, no balance issues there. Even if Classic was getting really shaky and wobbly and tilty, SH was doing cool moves in that series that would have steamrolled lesser Toss. Very exciting time to be a Terran all of a sudden. | ||

I don't know Kev, if Soulkey looked shaky, then you should rewatch SH playing against him.  | ||

But I think SH's play against Flash and Classic told me more about SH than Soulkey's play against Flash told me about Soulkey. I mean, Banelings are Banelings, you know? | ||

But he was way ahead of Bbyong before then, anyway. It was Flash > Maru >> Life > PartinG, iirc, until PartinG rocked the boat. | ||

Edit: Life also appealed to fans and before either did, Parting was third in the vote. | ||

With skyhigh, assuming anything else than mediocrity would be unintuitive | ||
