I still find it strange that people care so much about the player's personality outside of the game lol.

It's called building a brand.

on the other hand it's true. I mean what do you really know from your favorite football players? (f.e.) There is nothing more than scandals and standard phrases in interviews.

Players with personality are fun and make the game more enjoyable when they win. No one is going to say that MC ruins a game with his over the top personality. Even Flash has well cultivated personality as this unrelenting practice machine and guy who is never happy with his performance.

And lets never forget Keen’s amazing celebration from GSL. It is the gift that keeps on giving.

I guess but it seems like out of game personality is the only thing people care about. SC2 esports, the soap opera xD.

Now TL has to pick itself up in pro league. I want to see some new players. Or is that just me?

Flash doesn't really have a 'personality', he has an aura because he is Flash and that builds a kind of story behind him. Is it Curious whose very lack of a personality kind of IS his personality?

Anyway, great picks. EG have been making solid picks for a good while now, you don't even need to read the press release to know [i]why[\i] they made these picks. An identifiable rationale is great to see. Liquids picks aren't too shabby either, it was a real coup to get Sea, shame it didn't work out.

That’s not true for most fans, I think they have favorite players for a number of reasons. For me, I cheer for the person rather than their mechanics. I will always cheer for MC because he comes up with creative builds, plays and loves to please the crowd. I like MKP and Hero because they clearly give a shit and wear their heart’s on their sleeve. Flash is growing on me as well, but I like him more for how modest he is and his focus on raw practice.

The same goes for foreign players. I want to see Grubby and Idra do well, because I enjoy watching them play. I want to be at a barcraft if Idra wins an MLG and gets over mental blocks. Why? Because it would be awesome to be a part of. But I am an outlier in the community, it think, because I am used to waiting and cheering for the loser. I waited for my whole life to watch the Red Sox win a world series. Let me tell you, it sucked for a long time, but it was worth it.

EG-Liquid really making a "foreign" appearance in Proleague. Not rooting for them anymore. Don't get me wrong, I love korean players, but I always thought that EG-Liquid in Proleague would've been a step towards an internationalization of eSports, meaning that foreign talents could play and learn and improve in korea. But it looks like there is no foreigner with enough dedication to do that. Stephano goes for the easy money, skipping code S once more. And the great "foreign" roster? Byebye Thorzain, you had your proleague time. EGTL roster in proleague now:

Taeja, HerO, JYP, Oz, aLive, Jaedong, korean, korean, korean... my hype is gone.

Oh, and dear EG, you de-signed Puma. Now pull the consequences. Why is HuK still playing? I see no results (correct me if I am wrong). And when I watch his games, I don't get the point of why exactly he joined EG. Kudos to him for the HuK on IdrA rivalry, and not-so-big-kudos for him leaving TL for EG's money. But his times is over, he's delivering bad games, even compared to normal foreigners as Lucifron, HasuObs or Snute.
