Am I the only one that doesn't care in the slightest about Classic?

If Classic wins this years Blizzcon I will be sad.

I actually believe he has the skill to do it, he's actually pretty solid, but fuck man, that would just be so sad considering how many fan favorites we have to win this tournament.

I not that interested in him either. The only player I'm less interested in is Jjakji. However, I'm looking forward to his games vs polt. The series they played at IEM earlier this year was very entertaining.

my level of interest for players is in three tiers
Very interested (MMA, Polt, INnoVation, Zest, TaeJa, soO)
Mildly interested (San, MC, herO, Bomber, HyuN)
Meh (Life, Classic, StarDust. jjakji, Jaedong)

EDIT; I also absolutely love the theme of this years blizzcon articles! Very creative.

Everyone seems to say that Sniper won due to his race and that he's had no results since etc etc so how can you argue that Sniper was the best during his season?


If he wasn't the best, he was at the least top 3. People underrate him because he was Zerg at the height of BL/infestor's power and was a player that neither had much charisma nor an established fanbase, but he was easily one of the best in the world when he won. He didn't abuse BL/infestor as much as the time period would indicate, either, he simply won fair and square in a variety of ways.


I think I also remember listening to pros on a talk show on the subject of how the winners of major tournaments were also ranked very high on the grand master ladder. I think it was mentioned that sniper was like rank 1 on the KR GM ladder at the time of his GSL win.

I love the setup for linking to all of the other articles that you have at the bottom of this one. Really nice and should become a standard for similar series!

I think Classic deserves the credit for his results, winning Blizzcon or not. He was and still is a very good player, I can totally see him reaching the Ro4.

So gogo Classic! I hope you lose in the finals to Zest ^.^

Sick writeup. My doubt of Classic never really took the race's strength into account, altho that does make sense to think about it that way in context looking back. I just remember his Round of 32 games against Life and Hydra and thinking to myself, "If this guy makes it to the round of 16, or even the playoffs by some chance, I'll be damned". He looked so unimpressive and flawed that I was really surprised to see him win the GSL finals the day after I leave for camp. Seeing the results not too much later that EffOrt and Shine knocked him out felt real and gave me comfort, that maybe I was right that his win felt... off. Not because of race necessarily, but it just felt weird that he, of everybody in Code S that season, won.

He's also gonna lose to Polt pretty hard.

Great article.

I have never been convinced by Classic as a player. I couldn't believe that he won that GSL and was vindicated when he bombed out the season after. He did perform unexpectedly well though in the KeSPA Cup. So I don't quite know how I feel about his skill now. I guess we will see.

I feel like this series of articles shouldn't have started out with Classic's story. Not that I disagree with anything said in the article, but it's just not a really interesting story.
