July won 3 times. He got a Golden Mouse

Someone who has won 3 times is also considered to have won 2 times

Specifically, he should be in the part of the sentence with Flash, Jaedong, and Nada.

HYPE SKT T1 representing.

Rain has a chance to cement his legacy with back-to-back OSL titles.

Maru walking the royal road.

Pretty excited for this finals. :D

A not-as-good-as-usual write-up, sorry. Too much royal road nonsense. I mean, what is Royal Roading about? Enter a tournament for the first time ever, then go win it. Oh, Maru entered OSL for the first time? Uh, since OSL is totally different from GSL (where Maru was in for the last 2-3 years), that totally makes sense. Sorry.


Edit: I'm too evil. The rest of the write-up is of course great, I love it .


I was watching a twitch channel and I think Chobra explained the deeper nuances/meaning of the "Walking the Royal Road" in Korean culture.

There are specific walkways or paths prohibited to all but the Emperor (or royal family, not entirely sure).
One of these walkways or perhaps the Royal Road itself leads to the directly to the Imperial throne.
No one is allowed to gaze at the emperor's face as he walks along the Royal Road, therefore no one will know what he looks like until he mounts his throne.

Walking the Royal Road in Starcraft is similar because the Royal Roader is unknown as a first time entrant when the tournament begins (the beginning of his walk) and "ascends" or walks the Royal Road to the Starcraft throne on his first attempt.
No one knows the champ/emperor's face until the win when they walk the Royal Road.


Anyways.

HYPE FOR RAIN.

The Prime Terran might never light the world on fire with his macro, and he might never be be called perfect or "The best RTS player of all time",


I don't agree, at this young age, this guy could get REALLY huge in a little while.

Especially because his macro is already quite exceptionnal. I don't really understand why people give so little credit to Maru, has to be the cheeses.

4-2 rain wins
Rain's great defensive style matches up well against the almost predictably aggressive Maru

God dammit
I Protoss winner, could it be?
