Clearly Alive has to make the finals or win this tournament to round it out.

11, 12 counting Revival. MC, Jaedong, aLive, sOs, and NaNiwa haven't won a tournament yet.
You may predict GSL/WCS KR finals correctly, but you sure as hell can't count.

You also left "out of the remaining four, three" instead of replacing "four, three" with "five, four". Fixing mistakes is hard. t.t

Dear face TaeJa in Ro16, HerO faces sOs, Jaedong faces Mvp (assuming aLive gets out of his Challenger League group), NaNiwa will probably lose to Revival because Revival is way better than anyone gives him credit for, and duckdeok faces INnoVation. Good luck cheering for them... It seems like they're all facing someone they'd rather not face in the first round. lol

Dear is better than anyone else right now. Taeja can beat any player, of course, but I think that Dear is the favorite no matter who he is facing. MVP has not chances against Jaedong. HerO can beat sOs and his craziness any day, but he's inconsistent (just as sOs) and is pvp, then you never know. Naniwa and Duckedock are pretty much dead, indeed.

What an asshole. You show HerO losing while everyone else is either walking out or celebrating? How about Maru after game 2 against Dear? Come on now. As if the casters and the masses needed anymore ammo to use against the guy. As for Dear. It's a whole new tournament at Blizzcon so let's see how it plays out.

Didn't you notice? Go watch again. Anyway, HerO isn't the only guy who breaks down after taking heavy losses. Several players need moments to collect themselves even if they're about to make epic comebacks like SoulKey. Not only that, the guy doesn't even showcase all the players who will be competing. The point is build some consistency. It's only a minute long. I Would have made it longer showing those moments where players like Soulkey completely turned it around on Innovation and the moment of despair. Show more range; set the back story for Blizzcon. How did each player get there? If you want to move people then move people. Once again, it comes down to consistency when it comes to hype videos. The only thing you made me do is want HerO to win more just so I can shove this video down your throat. Good thing Winter is coming. I honestly hope HerO wins the whole shebang (I won't bet on him, but I still want him to win) or at the very least wins back-to-back-to-back DH Winter's. Just for you buddy. :V

Dear vs. TaeJa - TaeJa vs. Rain season 2 finals. If Maru can take a game off Dear without using Ghosts just imagine what TaeJa can do with his Ghost control.
Jaedong vs. presumably Mvp - Jaedong is borderline slumping. Almost losing a Bo5 to Hack, losing a ZvZ series against anyone, and coming in last in his Season 3 finals group, including a loss to Genius... We expect better from Jaedong. BlizzCon will be the judge of whether he's slumping or not.
HerO vs. sOs - HerO has a long history with sOs... a long history of losing almost every televised game he's played against him (he's 1-4 against him, 0-3 in HotS). HerO lets his emotions get in the way against players he has histories with like this. Don't be surprised if he doesn't show his top form.
Just stating facts. They all seem like they're outmatched here... I'd love for HerO and Jaedong to prove me wrong, though. I'd say the same about Dear but I'd rather not see a million posts on TL about how he's the next Zerg bonjwa winning WCS Korea, Season 3 finals, and BlizzCon in 3 weeks.

Gotta love OPs response to hurt herO fan in last post :D
What is so crazy about this is when I look at the bracket and in my head forsee the possible combination of matchs we might get to witness in the Quarter Finals, Semis and then Finals, it blows my fucking head off. Not one bad comination imo. Will be a hell of a tournament every step of the way!

Almost forgot about that. :V I take back what I said about losing but in terms of flow you could have shown him holding the trophy like the other guys so people who are slow like me figure it out before we lambaste you because I honestly didn't remember him doing that until you mentioned it. Goes back to what I said about continuity. Most people would probably think it's after him losing. I take back the asshole comment, but I still think you could have done a better job.

Doesn't change the fact that the video execution and editing was pretty bad.

I'm hoping Revival can repeat what he did to Soulkey at MLG last year... (Crush him in his first series of the tournament). Just to avoid this. :D
Also Revival has the best hat ever, how can you not like his hat?!?
