You obviously haven't watched any results since lotv came out lol
What major tourney has he won or ran deep (semies or finals)? What's his WCS ranking?
He won 3 straight challengers and got finals at DH Austin.
It's a lot more simple than that. Neeb right now looks like he should be playing against Koreans. Not very many foreigners have looked like that ever, and not many do right now. That's why he's hyped.

Hes ranked 6th
He lost in the finals of DH austin against hydra 2-4 He only lost to nerchio 2-3 in Tours in ro8 or ro16 idk He only lost to the winner of dh leipzig 2-3 at the beginning of the year He won every single wcs challenger beating polt and hydra every time this year and dominated NA by a large margin
He's praised even by EU non protosses as the best foreign protoss, idk what else i can tell you :p

He's on a 13-0 streak actually.
Marinelord is sometimes capable of ridiculous performance streaks. Remember how he destroyed every korean in the team league after lotv start? This kid has some kind of mojo that other foreigners don't.

we don't want NA feel like they were effectively region locked out of WCS
Well, maybe because he is the best offline player in the world? By far? No-one has better winrate, his offline skill is on Zest level. Unfortunately, once he has to play infront of a crowd when it actually matters and he can win something meaningful he competely falls apart and starts playing liike a gold player... I mean just look at these games against MarineLord, I would play better than him and thats to say a lot :/

Because he can win against Hydra, one of the two good koreans left in WCS. But thats not alot anymore.
I don't think beating WCS Koreans mean anything much anymore. They have been regressing the longer they are away from Korea - or more specifically, a proper Korean teamhouse.
As a Terran I was cheering for MarineLord. Want to see him face off against Snute. Still it was kind of sad to see Neeb get so tilted. He really wasn't playing up to his best He can't be feeling to good right now Hope he can learns a lot from this loss.

To be fair the Korean team was INnoVation, PartinG, Hydra. That's not a LotV all-star lineup. Nerchio did better against France alone than all of Korea did against MarineLorD.

he's really got something when he's on his a game I actually kinda hope he wins the whole thing now since I'm pretty sure Nerchio and Snute are already locked in for Blizzcon and Mlord could probably make some plays happen in Blizzcon with such smart preparation
