Quite impressive to be able to create hype for aLive (albeit a little)

Nice writeup!

Great write up as always, thanks for that! On a somewhat unrelated note, Fruitdealer's name was brought up multiple times in these articles, does anybody know what that guys's been up to now? Last I heard he was coaching Startale's LoL team but apparently that team has since disbanded? Is he still in the esports scene?

As an EG fan and Terran fan, I've been closely following aLive since he joined EG. He's definitely underrated but this is also a stacked tournament. Rooting for him to make a few upsets at Blizzcon.

Wait... you can't be serious right? Either Sweden has very little Asians or you have lived under a rock since China opened its gates... Alive is just disappointed that he couldn't win his standard of a "hard" tournament, by Korean standards GSL is the benchmark of being good (just like any other Asians the only standard is the gold standard).

Bloody genius. Laughed so hard.

Horrible outlook.

"nice guy sniper without broodlord support." HA!

Man, I remember when Alive took out MMA. That was the beginning of MMA's slide.

I'm rooting for Alive, he's kind of an underdog against most the competition, but it was always really fun watching him kick ass.
I still remember that TvT (vs MMA I think?) on Dual Sight where he raven rushed into an auto-turret and tank push that just plain won outright.



there's a whole album called iconoclast by german band heaven shall burn - which I like and instantly remembered =)

Good writeup. aLive is one of the players I was wondering what would be said. I would not be surprised at all if he beat Polt.

Ah, I really don't expect much from aLive. He has been looking rather weak lately.

I've always liked aLive since his run at IPL4, albeit that is quite recent.
