Wait whaaaat ? He beat everysingle korean during bracket stage except Bomber who went 0-4 and MMA
His IPL 4 Run was skill not luck, even if it was a fluke.

I remember how miserable Alive looked after he won IPL 4. I just dont get some of the Koreans. Dont you enjoy winning? Dont you like seeing the crowd go nuts? You can see that a lot of them hold back their emotions for some reason.


It's probably not exclusive to Koreans. There's people who are a lot more reserved in all cultures.

We don't see foreigners win enough to be sure ;p


Oh for sure. Nerchio comes to mind, he didnt look all that excited both times he won but specifically holding back your emotions seems very common with Koreans. Look at Duckdeoks win before he broke down in tears, he tries so hard to act stoic which is weird.

Good write up and damn it sums up Alive pretty good but that IPL run seems pretty harsh.
He crushed at that event coming from the shadows and no one had a clue!
The curse is real

So, are you going to write the Polt one without Fionn, since he's AWOL ?

Congratulations to the guts of the Writer.. It's not easy to find data and write a story for what common people tend to consider a "villain" at the event or sth..
Another world, another place, another universe, won the race.. :) ;) :P

Poor aLive. Everyone else, even "faceless" duckdeok, had their faces shown on the opening image of the article introducing them. Way to tap into the faceless Korean Terran stereotype!

The player I wish to be eliminated first. Not because I dislike him but just because I prefer any other player at this tournament plus I feel it's a bit unfair for him to have gotten so many points from getting to the WCS season 2 finals because Jim couldn't go

The guy has been stomping faces for a long time (especially after joining fnatic), and did very well at all WCS Season finals this year but yet some people still think about him as an underdog and i cant understand that...
Also he DOES have something unique to him : that guy sweats in the booth like no one else. Make some lines about this ! :D

TaeJa, HerO, NaNi and Polt left? Seems like the most meaty texts are ahead of us - two Liquid champions, transplanted korean who is acting North America (and Texas) representative and the Foreginers' Hope

He's not even the best at sweating - Gumiho beats him to that

So he was supposed to loose all matches on purpose because he didn't truly qualify? Come on - he got a chance and took it. JangBi won OSL because Die_soO went to military after beating JangBi in "preliminaries" yet nobody tries to deny him the accomplishment.

I'm surprised that the huge NASL open bracket wasn't mentioned. That's the first time I really noticed and began to follow him. Even though it wasn't against top Koreans, it's was a break-thru performance for him in a foreign tournament.
