Sometimes I forget that I should be cheering for Hyun, but then he does another amazing ceremony and I'm reminded why I cheered for him last time.

Hyun fighting!

We have now reached the absurd situation that I feared. Naniwa would already have been ahead of Revival in the Wcs-ranking if Revival had not been served this IEM points for free, that rightfully belonged to Nerchio or Grubby.
If Nani looses to Hyun we can have a situation where Revival steal the 16th place just in front of Naniwa.

Let me be clear: no shadow over Revival for this (except for possible shame to be felt), but i really hope people realise how corrupt the situation is, limiting the trustworthyness of the Wcs-system and maybe throws out the only foreigner from Blizzcon which is from a commercial and PR perspective bad too.

Let´s hope this doesn't become decisive for Blizzcon-advancement and corrected to not happen in the future, OR if it becomes, that Blizzard realises how unfair it would be to go through with it.

I agree to some extent (not so much with the "corruptness" of it all, but the issue itself still stands) but just wanted to point out that Scarlett has a shot of making it to Blizzcon also.

Anyway, more on topic, gogo Naniwa!~

Expecting Curious vs Hyun with Hyun winning!

Curious is one of those guys who is so solid but so hard to cheer for. Not just his personality, his style is just well-rounded, efficient, intelligent but with no real flair or anything to grab onto. I caught myself thinking "Meh, Curious" just minutes after that amazing ZvP series against sOs. It's ludicrous, I know. Still, Curious absolutely deserves to win this. It would be awesome to see Life get a win for once, he was my favourite WoL player and I'm getting nostalgic for watching him crush, Naniwa really needs the points and he of all people looked so touched today in the post-game interview that my heart melted a little, and noone can dislike Hyun (even when he dresses like a moron). So whoever wins this I'll be happy!

What?! How dare you! SpiderHyun is the best Hyun!


Spiderhyun, spiderhyun, does whatever...

I was extremely unimpressed with Hero's play. Half the time it seemed like he had no clue what to do. He's a really strong player in all MU's, but he is more known for his great PvP and PvT. Watching him play vs. Life was an eye opener. He looked frightened and slow, and I'm not sure why.

Hyun is winning this if he doesn't get upset by Naniwa (could see it tbh). He's easily the best ZvZ of the remaining Zergs

So Naniwa should drop a comment about Hyun's mother.

Yeah, as a zerg player I am going to cheer for Naniwa but I can be pretty certain a zerg will win. So win-win
I had a good night of sleep.

I know people love Naniwa. But as a personality he is an asshole. And everyone knows it. Kinda a second idra for me. I really want him to lose and get the hell out of my monitors. He should learn how to behave first.... And then he could win smth proper. Hyun and curious to the finals as they deserve it the most

whoever plays best wins. lol @ the people talking about "personality". I want the best players to win, even if they happen to have a difficult character.

Hoping for Naniwa - Life finals, but Hyun taking it all would be fine, too.
first we make expand, then we defense it.

To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

i think nani is the best foreigner in sc2 of all time because hes has been so dam consistent since the start

No he hasnt, his results have always been all over the place.

That said, I hope he wins. For America and such.


I think he meant constinent in the sense that since Dallas 2011, he was always able to take down anyone. What other foreigner You can say this about? Huk, Idra, Stephano, all of them reached some point in their career after which they were just mediocre. We have the end of 2013, and Naniwa is still showing the top level of play.

I know it's all opinions but why would Hyun and Curious deserve a finals more than Naniwa/Life?

Ya, I think naniwa has a shot at this. All 4 players have a shot really. IMHO Hyun is probably the only clear favorite and even that is a bit foggy. It won't be long so we'll see for ourselves soon enough.
What we obtain too cheaply; we esteem too lightly. It is in dearness only that gives everything it's value.

I really like the final four; it's hard to pick who to cheer for.
