Hyun is top tier zerg. His wins against Dear and Jjackji, and narrow loss to herO shows he can compete with the best. Best zergs atm are Soulkey, Life, Roro, and Hyun.

My favorite hit is the final one. All the mutas are dead, but the last widow mine detonates to kill the lonely overseer.

Very entertaining day of SC2. Players with the best micro and nerves of steel coming out on top. Great group of casters & analysts. (Ret & Incontrol made some less than exciting matches enjoyable on Day 1 also.) Large, expressive crowd. Really raised my sometimes flagging love of SC2. Thanks. Looking forward to more tomorrow!

I just fail to understand how can someone still love nani, since he's been pretty weird from the very beginning... And he made close to no efforts in improving his manners. That's seriously a pretty fucked up attitude really.


For me, while I don't generally agree with his behavior I like him because he is a good player, he's stream was fun, he goes against the rules and he is not constantly trying to make everyone like him. Others might have their reasons.

The only thing I had in mind during the 3rd game of Taeja vs SD was "please do not early gg, please do not early gg".

Superb tournament so far, It has epic TvZ, great TvP, nice drama, big tensions. Well, everything needed !


You missed Hero vs Hyun. That was a very good PvZ. Only shaded by Jjakji vs Revival as series of the day.

Oh, yeah, and some good PvP too. But, I forgive you if that is not your thing.

Incredible series between Hyun and herO! Being a Naniwa fan, you could say my jimmies were sufficiently rustled after his game.

Haha. I didn't notice that. That is so sad, and satisfying at the same time!

You guys are all retarded. Waxangel said hyun beating hero would've been a massive upset because hero won 2 back to back iem championships and is the number 1 seed in the bracket. Obviously hyun and every other player in here is amazing too

hero doing better against a higher level of competition than hyun

That's still not a "massive upset".

The reason I would say it would be a pretty massive upset is because since July 27, 2013, herO hasn't lost a greater than bo1 against any zerg and only lost 2 bo1 in that time period of facing 32 different opponents
http://aligulac.com/players/233/results/?after=2013-07-27&before=&race=z&country=all&bestof=all&offline=both&game=all&op=Filter
In these games, herO is 54–14 (79.41%) in games and 30–2 (93.75%) in matches.

In bo3 or greater herO has only lost 3 to zerg in the last calendar year
http://aligulac.com/players/233/results/?after=2013-03-14&before=&race=z&country=all&bestof=3&offline=both&game=all&op=Filter
In these games, herO is 55–20 (73.33%) in games and 25–3 (89.29%) in matches.


I guess "massive upset" is a pretty subjective way of looking at it but to me when it's basically the most consistent and arguably best PvZ player in HoTS vs a pretty good zerg that has had some ups and downs, herO losing would be a pretty big shock

Honestly I feel sorry for Naniwa. I can't imagine how his birthday could be any shittier.

I'm not trying to defend the guy, but I'm not sure anyone deserves to have such a horrifically bad day.

scrutinizing naniwa's quick gg a little too much arent we? im pretty sure we've all realized how much dramatic naniwa is and he's not shy about showing it in public (despite big events)

A very easy argument could be made that Rogue is currently in better shape than JD, and a hard one could be made that he is currently in better shape than Hyun and Roro.
