This is SC2. The game that Dustin Browder and David Kim want it to be. Yeah, it's completely and utterly unacceptable that the current world champion made it all the way to the finals of a fairly stacked tournament and lost to a player who was 2013 WCG Korea Champion and last year's World Champion. Well, to be fair, PartinG is ranked 43 in the world according to 2013 WCS Standings, that came to be in order to find the 16 best players in 2013 for the grand final, so PartinG was pretty far from reaching the final. Before him in said ranking are 9 foreigners and 33 Koreans...  At least I find it highly amusing that #43 can beat #1 4-1. Never lose hope, uncle Bob may still win at the end of the day! 
You really shouldn't be putting that much stock into rankings. Do you also think KingKong is a better player than Scarlett or Hyun because he has a higher ELO than them? Most rankings are at best an extremely rough approximation of actual skill.

This just in, when you win a tournament, you have to win EVERYTHING FOR THE NEXT 5 MONTHS or starcraft is dead
lol. Sorry, I'm from BW where winning a championship actually meant you were great.
Where the OSL champion would be laughed at if he lost at a foreign tournament with 8 players, with Bomber and Parting being the only players playing at a high overall level.
Especially dropping 2 maps to a foreigner during the run...
This just in, your head far up your ass.

Because Koreans never lost to foreigners at WCG in BW right? And Calm was so great right?
Please.

Lol I think you're the one with your head up your ass.
Firstly, you call it a "foreign tournament" as if that's supposed to be derogatory, even though lots of foreign tournaments are stacked with top Koreans, so I don't know what your reasoning was there.
Secondly, Scarlett is really damn good, and her being a foreigner shouldn't mean that it's embarrassing to drop maps to her as a top-level Korean.

Not to be a hater but BW had the exact same shit happening. Remember Effort winning 2010 Korean Air OSL and then dropping in Groups in the Korean Air OSL Season 2 going 1-2 in a group with Leta, Action and Bisu. Was a 4 months difference which is longer then sOs WC title but sOs got second which isn't bad considering Parting's winrate against P.
Plus comparing OSL champions in the BW era with the foreign scene at that time isn't really fair considering how things changed since then.

What a bad ass. Loved this guy even before he started posting results, his PvT is amazing.

EDIT: Well, it collected players for the grand final, that was the purpose. Players have good and bad days that affect them heavily too, and some times playing one bad match can be extremely costly. Nevertheless, there seems to be no guaranteed winner here and I do like that.

Happy to see Parting in the spotlight again.

LMFAO.

Complete joke. Not sure you even have a head to shove up your ass.

It comes from PartinG's signature PvZ build in WoL. Better known as the Immortal-Sentry all-in, PartinG has been forever now associated with the strategy when he claimed his version of the build was the most powerful because he puts the most "soul" into it. I think it was also refereed as the "pain train", at some point, it didn't take long afterwards for the term "soul train" to be born.

Curse of the OSL Champion
The champion of the previous Starleague would fail to advance out of the Round of 16, usually with a victory in their opening match and then two subsequent losses.
Winning a championship meant you were great in BW, did it? Champions consistently placed highly in every tournament for a while after their championships, right?

It happened a few times (there were 33 tournaments after all) but the curse was eerily consistent, not even the bonjwas were immune to it. (Yeah, bonjwas, the guys some people around here would have you think all won at least 15 OSLs each and sported 99.8% win rates across match-ups.)

Soul Train is a nickname for Parting's immortal sentry all-in. Parting said that he's able to pull it off when other players can't because he does it so "soulfully", so we call it the Soul Train.
