These previews continue to be incredible. This is how you build hype and construct a storyline.

Blizzard seriously needs to pay TL for the rights to these articles, have someone with a good voice read them over some game footage/b-roll, and play them throughout the tournament. Valve had those cool little video introductions for each team at TI, and I hope Blizz has something similar in store for perpetuating the players' storylines in that way.

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.


no offense, but every terran that plays a good tvz can beat soulkey (read: mma, mvp, taeja, polt most likely)

If soulkey hadn't beaten innovation in the WCS KR finals I think we'd be seeing him as a choker more than an unfortunate figure
He's lost a lot of series in high-up WCS events 4-0 or 3-0:
0-3 against innovation in the RO8 in season 2 WCS KR
0-3 against soO in the RO4 in season 3 WCS KR
0-4 against Dear in the finals of WCS season 3
Add an 0-4 against innovation into there...


Korean Jaedong, since JD's taking EG money?

Good writeup. Best of luck to SK! He's going to need it imo.

"Soulkey's title win came right at the height of the age of (T)INnoVation, as the robot Terran was hitting 70%+ win rates in each match-up (that's bonjwa class)"

Christ. It would be nice if Innovation could not be hyped to hell for one moment. It was obvious that the boost and hellbats played a massive role in differentiating him from past multi-taskers. Maybe I'm just jaded by never ever catching one of those games were INnovation was so impressive like a Rain or Life.

Poor soulkey though. Kinda modern Sniper in terms of recognition for his title.

His games against Life were a must watch imo. 2-0 Life pretty easily. His games against sOs in the WCS Season finals 1 were also pretty impressive imo. Game 4 is a must watch.

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


It would be great if things were that simple but they're not.


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


It's far too arbitrary. For example, Avatar is the best film ever made based off box office takings. Numbers help paint a picture, but they confirm nothing on their own. Context is everything.

Since first qualifying for Code S, Soulkey has made 5 consecutive quarterfinals in Korea.

I have to say how much I enjoy all the articles dealing with a single player and his own unique storyline, all the while linking him to the grand scheme, pointing out rivalries. It adds so much to the hype. Thanks.

Let's hope Soulkey can use Blizzcon to come out of the shadows and stand in the spotlight he deserves.

ZvZ final, you heard it here first!
