First did perform well , true that. Granted he did perform only on back of his vT match-up and got embarassingly stomped by jd in zvp. If anything naniwa would be preparing for duckdeok and hope to somehow past through terrans, so Innovation's loss there did look awkward (haha, i used this word too!). Innovation vs TaeJa was driven to have one of the best games of the year (other 2 were lackluster IMO) on the back of mech vs bio mechanic in general and Bomber soon have shown that their tvt is just not there. Rain lost to jvp (and now you cannot really blame him for that, haha) and then got stomped in his best match-up with sloppy play everywhere. And Maru losing in his group is just sign that he is heavy preparation based player, that can get hot sometimes. So if you ask me, WCS Korea's representatives except for Bomber did look subpar this weekend. Dont see why soulkey would have to lose so horribly to be replaced as the best zerg in the world..jaedong already is acknowledged as having some of the best zvz, his zvp has improved tremendously (perhaps to the point of also rivaling the best in the world) and he lost to some very inspired tvz. IMO he already is ahead of soulkey. You honestly think naniwa would have been more worried about facing duckdeok than innovation? That makes absolutely no sense to me.. And Bomber winning in game 5 in a bo5 means that Taeja's TvT isnt there? Why is that exactly? As far as Rain goes, Taeja has been playing exceptionally well for a while now..that series was more about him winning than Rain losing. And that was kinda my point about Maru..he cant really be considered one of the best players in the world just because he won one tourny..and therefore it shouldnt come as some huge shock that he didnt play exceptionally well. | ||

 TBH. the best pokemon to describe Bomber is Slakoth, so much potential, but hindered by his weakness, truant aka bomber law. | ||

JD is not ahead in terms of zvt now though, especially considering that soulkey only reliably(!!!) loses to only 1 player in the world in zvt right now (fanboy mode: at other times he is drunk and was only playing arcade games with Innovation and sOs for practice). And their zvz is pretty darn close IMO, considering their records against Korean zergs (JvZ is inflated by foreigners cause dreamhacks). Granted i will say that right now jvp looks better than soulkey's zvp. I, for one, more than sure naniwa did not expect to face innovation at all. And no, i would be more worried about player who had 3-1'd me before, than terran, if i was a protoss. But yes, innovation falling out of group stage IS bad result for player of his caliber. Same as it is bad result from polt to fall out of group stage (well, he fell to First, the guy who only really loses pvts to bomber). Also, losing game 5 is fine result for anyone. Question is HOW you lose it. If ou have seen same game as i did, you will understand what i mean. And i do not blame Rain for losing to Team TaeJa's SummerTaeJa, i blame him for losing those 3 collosi in that game on whirlwind. Maru is simply continuation of random premier tournament winner line IMO. Also, buy me hat to eat if Soulkey does not get Ro16. | ||

When you keep meeting up with Bogus and keep losing to him back-to-back-to-back-to-back I bet it would get to you for a while. I wouldn't be surprised if he's second guessing himself even though a lot of the games were fairly close. | ||

Wait..so you are saying that charizard beating articuno in one chapter of the anime was a lie and its not possible? :'( In my opinion charizard is the most badass looking pokemon. On topic: I hope Parting advances. | ||

Always so underrated. | ||
