So many players I like at this tournament its gonna be hard to root for anyone, or to chose 'favorites'.


Yeah I agree, the only players who are undeserving there are alive and deokduck. So if they lose nobody actually cares at all. But it will suck to see anyone else lose. For example, jd vs mvp or maru vs mc? How the fuck is anyone supposed to just pick one of them?

Leaving aLive's case aside, saying deokduck is undeserving after winning a season of WCS Europe is a bit of a stretch. Doesn't matter if anyone cares if he loses or not.

Interestingly enough, Naniwa, who I thought I would never warm up to after the probe rush vs Nestea, and his defeat of the Dong, has started to grow on me a little. When he's not playing someone I root for, I root for him. Seeing his games in IEM gave me the feeling that he put on a great show, I have no doubt he will give Soulkey a fight.

Naniwa, best of luck vs Soulkey! I would like more zergs in the tournament, but I can settle for just the Dong :D

There is only one who can bring the levels of hype needed for the final article. One who looks upon Polt with nothing but the purest admiration, who can turn the trials of a veteran pro gamer into a tale of such riviting magnitude that chills go down your spine.

We're waiting Fionn.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

Dont know why, but i get the feeling that the writer does not like naniwa. This kind of ruins it for me eventho there are alot of valid points.

You enjoy people's suffering? You seem like a swell guy.

First of all again: you guys are writing fantastic articles at the moment! As somebody who nearly every week has to at least produce one or two professional texts, I can appreciate your work a lot. Its not an easy thing to do.

Second: I am rooting for JD, but Nani comes defenitly second place and I really think that the last weeks showed, that he improved his "Fan-Skills" and found some (maybe fragile) balance in himself.

Go for it Nani!

Balance whining, excuse-making, and yelling inappropriate comments toward players and organizations is a shared trait of many progamers, but where it might make a different progamer endearing


Well... with the benefit of the ability to look back, one could really say is unlike say the TL writing staff Nani was calling the poor balance of the game for what it is.

A deep run here and he clearly and obviously takes the title from a metagame blessed Stephano for the best foreigner ever.
