I really love duckdeok's story. He was the posterboy for everyone's "faceless Korean", but can anyone still say that after he won WCS EU S2?

I mean, yeah people can still complain about regionality and growing local scenes, but his example puts to rest that there is such a thing as a faceless player. And that is why I want him to do well.

So... basically you got him into WCS and therefore should take all his money

Didnt know about that little detail, which indeed changes everything. TL as always does a great job, lets hope Blizzard can follow it up to invole the mainstream audience with those players, otherwise a big chance would be missed.

Totally agree with that, that one was the best so far.

If Blizzard were smart they would make a mini-documentary about each player to show, so casual fans who only watch SC2 but don't read about it can also learn the stories.


They did some pretty good stuff pre-BWC last year

I'd love to see a "get to know a player" video for innovation. If only to see what would it contain.

As someone who never saw the EU season where Duckdeok beat MC, I have to see that this article changed my impression of duckdeok completely.

I still remember the winning moments for Duckdeok, really magical. I didnt liked it that mutch when i beat Nani and Grubby, but after that i was okay with it.

Was really suprised when he took a map of Maru hat S3 finals. Maybe he can upset Innovation, who knows.

The last paragraph brought a tear to my eye. I think that QxC's statement is the best on the WCS system. It doesn't need a region lock, it just needs more opportunity for players to play and win. DuckDeok story is awesome, and it makes me wonder how many "faceless Korean" are not faceless at all.

DuckDeok fighting, go now and win Blizzcon.

Really awesome conclusion after the video. Extremely well written, man. 5/5 would read again.

pretty much this sums up his blizzcon journey .. too bad hes matched with one of the championship contenders

the article is so good i actually re-read it 4 times


anyways even if many people want duckdeok to win.. there is a very low probability that will happen .. especially when the first person you meet normally all-kills in teamleagues with a really high winrate in all matchups

if the duck is able to pull a miracle and win against innovation then probably the most far he could get is semi finals if ever MC wins over maru .. if not then i dont even think he can even get out of r16

seriously this tournament is just too stacked for him to win .. everyone aside from duckdeok are either multiple championship winners or either championship contenders(could be both) .. he is the only exception in the list

and oh before i forget .. 3/16 .. 13 more to go

Man, DLO. Didn't know you could say something so emotional over a player who isn't HerO. Well written!
