Feels like all of soO's strengths are based on lair tech and when he has a hive he doesn't know what he's doing anymore.

So true. One almost forgets how good it is because it's basically flawless. And Shine is a god among men when it comes to observing.

What I don't get is why he received so many votes. He didn't show anything to get them.

Well first off he's soO. He doesn't need to show anything to be popular.
And secondly it's not like the other options for Korean Zergs mega appealing either

Yeah, let's finally get that region lock smashed into oblivion.
And then it turns out the joke is on us because blizzard just kills off WCS completely at the end of the year anyway.

Rogue showed some good games, Solar too. I think that many people live still in the HotS era when soO was the best Zerg around. That's why I think that only 2 or 3 places in Korea should be resolved by fan voting.
It still hurts me when I realize this soO will go into Blizzcon. I hope he will get the form, but somehow I doubt it.

Rogue vs PartinG in GSL was one of the worst series I've seen all year and Rogue hasn't had a good year so far in general either.

I dunno Trap, shouldn't you be building some workers instead?
Is Trap just not realizing how this game is? Did he think he was all in even after killing those workers?
e: still fine though
