I also want to say that despite the great write-up, the only way I think people we be remotely happy is if Alicia survives his side of the bracket and faces MMA or MKP in the finals. I have a feeling Polt can take out Alicia though.
the farm ends here

Please please please, can you put names and race icons for each player? I have no idea who these players are or which races these people play except for MMA. I'm sure there are many people like me who don't follow the korean scene and don't know who some of these players are.

Line reminds me of nestea at open season 2.

He wansn't a favorite to win the tournament (season 1 nestea was horrible.)
It was more of a 'okay you came back, cool.'

Then he started defeating one of the more 'favorites' of the tournament, notably Zenio who was on a roll at the time(tastosis thought he would definately go to the finals).
He came back very, very solid. Understanding the game so much better than most players at that time.

Threre were much more MKP fans (after his impressive style/series vs Kyrix) and expected him to win, but Nestea reigned supreme and he has shown spectacular results since then.

Can we expect this from our 'underdog' Line too??

while there are some terrans i actually like, i don't think i will watch the matches. A few TvTs are ok, but this is just too much to be entertaining.

Right now only MMA, MKP, and Alicia have any sort of shot at winning this. Hard to get excited when 5 out of 8 of the players stand no chance. This has nothing to do with people upset their favorite player got eliminated. It has to do with the fact that the round of 8 doesn't contain the best players in the world, and people want to see the best players in the world play each other.

There is obviously a middle ground between the Gretorp situation and the mess GSL has of almost all the good players getting knocked out early every season.



What is this Gretorp situation? thanks.

This is why the world championship was so good, it had the 4 best players in the world in the ro4.

Super fucking write up. Can't wait to watch Ryung vs MMA and Alicia vs Polt.

I think its open between MKP and MMA to win this. But I want to discuss what is going on in my mind, and im sure everyone elses. Seriously, Terran has been ripping every tournament up to shreds. They need to get nerfed now. Its sickening.

Ill just quote the Rolling Stones:
You can't always get what you want (all the superstars in top 8)
But if you try sometimes you might find
You get what you need (very good grand finals?)

Really good writeup.
Best part was TheBest part.

I'm rooting for Alicia, but MMA is probably the strongest player right now.

And man, MKP really needs a title. I really try to root for him, but i just cannot see him taking it.
If he gets to the finals and looses again, i'm gonna cry with him to make him feel better.
