Well written, but I do wish he hasn't been so strongly portrayed as the new Sniper... Everyone has something hidden to cheer for, we just need to find it

He is a nice guy, in many interviews he always thanked the fans for giving him a nickname, even if it was calling him invisible

I hope he can do well and show a high level of skill

And he certainly can’t hold a candle to Polt and MC in interviews.


You must have missed the WCS America Season 2 Ro16 interview. ;o

I picked Polt to beat aLive 3-0 and now I find out that aLive has a head to head record on Polt? I may have made a horrible mistake XD

Yessssss! TL didn't do a completely scathing writeup on Alive. Watch, if he wins Blizzcon, he will show a shit ton of emotion. You won't even be ready for it. Alive fighting!

I wonder what preview will be last. I bet it's naniwa. I am curious to see the details, the discussions that happened behind the walls, between the TL writers and admins, to determine who gets the last preview. It would make sense that they keep their two liquid players at the end, but i think more people like naniwa than taeja and hero, because he's the only foreigner left.

It was a pretty memorable season imo cause the final 4 was pretty unexpected apart from DRG.
I jokingly picked Genius to win the season beforehand because most people figured Genius was on his last leg and wouldn't be around much longer. Suddenly goes undefeated when reaching max before the final, beats DRG (easily top zerg and top 2 player in the world) in the Ro32, advances out of the group of death in the Ro16 coming back to beat Marineking in a 2nd series after losing in the first one to a mech opening (still mad about that one because MKP actually went 3-2 in maps but won the wrong bo3 :/ and MKP was also meeting DRG in a bunch of finals at that time leading up to his MLG wins and was probably the best TvP)
Then you had GuMiho. this is before we knew how good GuMiho was. At this point he was just a guy that kind of looked like Leenock according to people, we knew he sweated a lot, and he played with a towel. His win over Mvp was one of the biggest liquibet upsets in sc2 at the time I believe. It was something like double digit vs several thousand votes for their ro16 group.
aLive was just that Ro32 terran that suddenly rose up and crushed MMA who was coming off the Blizzard cup win and one of the best games in sc2 history. The raven game on dual sight was pretty unique at the time
The only expected person in the Ro4 was DRG who almost went down to Gumiho (Gumiho blew a 2-0 lead)

"Note: IPL staff is fantastic at scrubbing the blood out of windows." LOL, this made me almost spit coffee out of my mouth in the middle of the library.

Aside from the antics. Great read, probly the best one so far considering he likely has the least fans out of these 16 players. aLive is better than most people give him credit for, he is completely formidable in TvT, capable of beating ANY Terran. His TvP is also something a Protoss shouldn't slack on when playing him. I fear that he'll be instantly eliminated if he runs into a Zerg, but luckily they'll probly both be gone early in the tournament.

While I can appreciate the effort of writing this article and the quality of the result, I still can't muster any enthusiasm for alive. Even duckdeok is more exciting, and that's saying something.

Cool! This was an awesome hype. I love myself a humble underdog with the ability to strike, and strike hard!

I would not be surprised if Alive made it to the semi finals (beating Polt and the winner of SoS/Hero).

High quality of writing, it was a bit too long imo though. Enjoyed the first half.
