I think Soulkey is the bet player going into Blizzcon, He's been so consistently good over all of 2013.

The only players who can beat him are Dear, who is coming in with ridiculous momentum and Maru.

Maru is 0-3 in Bo3s against Soulkey though, and did state already that does not want to play him, ever.
So Dear, Innovation, MC and Mvp are left as real threats :D

By WCS points he enters as the best, so why isn't he the best?

He could, but then again the writer doesn't mention anything about how Soulkey doesn't win his first match at foreign tournaments.

Why are these writeups so good?!?!? Even though I'm slightly sad this came out the exact time I submitted my entry for the reddit contest about Soulkey, so it probably looks like I didn't do any research for it and just copied everything from here in different words.

I now want a Soulkey vs Innovation finals, Mvp vs Anyone finals, for sOs to make sick new builds, JaeKong to break the curse, and naturally for Bomber to stab the law a few times.

Soulkey vs Innovation would be a fitting championship matchup.

Great write-up. As someone already said in the thread, I'm F5'ing TL all week waiting for those. The hype is through the roof.

What blows my mind is how good each and every one of these articles is.
After reading the initial batch I thought to myself, that its going to be a tall order just to match those, but each and every one of the articles coming up is just as good if not better in some ways.

Power to you guys, this is some awesome stuff and makes me even more eager for Blizzcon.

If he had not thrown away two stalkers for the fun of it, he'd won. + Show Spoiler +
Mvp was just shoving marines. (very useful talent to have!)

And there is possibility he either meets Naniwa, whom koreans like to underestimate (and reasonably so) or Revival, who was the guy who sent him into lower bracket of his MLG Fall group.

At least this is a hard fact (most points) and not an opinion for who is the best out there.

But wouldn't you agree that, like GSL points, points earned recently are more relevant than points earned 6-8 months ago? There is no decay, so players who performed well early this year could essentially drop out of everything and still make it to Blizzcon. This complicates things.
