On your third point, I STRONGLY disagree. Byun proved the Kespa thing was a myth. Jin Air has had that support all year, they haven't until this moment won anything all year. Where the hell is Cure? Is Trap a top three Toss? $o$, is he top three Toss at the moment? Is Maru top Terran? Is he realistically any better than say, aLive right now? Or Gumiho? Or TY? No it's not the PLAYERS that did it, it was HOW they practiced, meaning they'd didn't have to worry about anything in LIFE BUT Starcraft. And they would play what, 12 hours a day? No one else save a adolescent has that much time to just play, not even a high school kid, ( see Neeb and Serrall here..) No, mass games vs all comers/ all play styles > practice vs a few players with a FEW play styles. In my opinion..... | ||

KeSPA proved me right for 3 years prior to that. If anything, Rain proved me wrong with his GSL win, but not ByuN. | ||

I think if he stops to dance before the final game, he can even beat sOs and be the best Protoss ever. Also congrats to Rogue for his first offline champion. | ||

Possibly the hardest tournament besides of GSL and no blizzcon ticket for the winner, what an upset. Look at how hard Rogue's journey was, compare to Elazer and Neeb when they earned their tickets. | ||

I remember proleague games from a couple years ago where Wolf was thinking Stats was top Protoss, hell, Artosis STILL thinks Zest is the best, lol.... No I capitalize for emphasis, why do people instead of engaging in convo always say some goofy snarky nonsense? I was posting just a week or so ago how a good Zerg stops reapers easy. I saw this coming. (Edit: Byun beat Rogue 2-0 Ssl challenge first week, so he SHOULD HAVE BEEN READY, how the hell do you die to that if you see it coming? And you MUST see it coming, it's fuckin Byun, lol...) I got no discourse, just no, reapers are unbeatable. I don't even get the argument that it leaves Zerg behind. I watched TY win a TvZ thirty fuckin workers behind. Vs Dark, for that matter. How are ravager pressure builds less abusive? That hold looked three times as hard to hold than reapers for a Zerg...... If he can hold that, Zerg should be able to handle reapers..... You really think practicing with Trap or sOs 10 hours a day prepared Rogue for hero, or constant ladder play? Serious question here...... Okay enough, I said my peace, congrats to Rogue, really looking forward to his GSL performance going forward.... | ||

But herO is the best Protoss dancer ever for sure. | ||

 and he didnt suddenly break down in the finals as so often with hyped players. i was so mad when he kicked out dark, thinking "once again the worse zerg eleminating the better zerg in a zvz just to lose the next cross race match". how wrong i was. so well deserved, today rogue was on FIRE!!! | ||

) No Toss can touch this guy now.He even improved his ZvT a lot. Now I honestly think that the only player that can stop him is soO in a ZvZ. Hope the sexy boy will continue crushing it and we will see him at Blizzcon, winning the things instead of sOs  Go Rogue ! | ||
