This ain't the end of HotS, bro. LotV won't come out for another year, at earliest after WCS 2015 and before WCS 2016.


It's also ridiculous to compare to back to back ZvZ finals in Code S to a random tournament with a PvP finals (especially when the last GSL finals was TvZ).

Last tournaments with Snute:

IEM San Jose: herO > Snute, herO won tournament
Dreamhack Winter: Blessing doesn't work for Round Robin
Homestory X: Flash > Snute, Flash got within 1 map of winning
Dreamhack Stockholm: Solar > Snute, Solar won tournament
Dreamhack Moscow: MMA > Snute, MMA won tournament
WEC: Jaedong > Snute, Jaedong won tournament
IEM Toronto: Flash > Snute, Flash won tournament
Red Bull Detroit: Stardust > Snute, then Stardust proceeded to lose to Taeja.
WCS EU: Stardust > Snute, then Stardust lost in the Ro16

So it does seem to give everyone besides Stardust some extra power. Also, I feel this confirms Snute is on a really great level, only being defeated by what seems to be the strongest player at each tournament, even though he doesn't reach the finals that often. It's hard to compare him to WCS KR Koreans, but as far as international Koreans go, he can take them all down individually on a good day. But even then, it's hard to have a run going through multiple Koreans in one tournament.

But regardless, congrats to herO for playing solid the entire tournament and rightfully winning. Rain performed similarly and I'm sure that if those two play many bo7's they'd be about 50-50, but herO won today and that's what counts. Also really happy to see JD playing with his trademark flair again!

(Vote): Yes.

So many non-believers voted "no."

"Autowin"


You clearly don't know about the history:

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/sc2-tournaments/467944-dreamhack-stockholm-2014-day-2?page=144#2871

I know the history, but 4-3 in the finals isnt an autowin

To be fair, the beginning of WOL was pretttttyy TvT-heavy

50% because of really bad maps (Steppes of War, Lost Temple ... :D).
50% because everyone was crap at the time.
50% because of bunkers :D

Didn't have the opportunity to watch the Ro4 until today - what an awesome PvP final and a great comeback by Hero. Well deserved win and a nice way of concluding the year of Sc2!
