I find this article well-written in form but incredibly unfair with Classic. I don't actually like this player and care about him that much but put in a nutshell it is basically saying that he is a patchtoss and that his victory has not much to do with his skill at the time he won. Sure why not if the author thinks so. But adding behind that Seed and Sniper were not, come on don't kid yourself, they too disappeared off the radar right after their win.

Moreover at least Classic won with a lot of variety in his play, unlike Seed or Sniper who won on the back of a lot of 4gate/BL infestor. This is a blatant case of double standard.

It's never stated in the article that Classic is a patchtoss or anything similar though. Quite the opposite in fact. It says that the majority of the community views him like that (not that I do!) and I stand by that. If anything, the message of the article is that his reputation isn't doing him justice because of the protoss reign back when he won, even though his play was highly impressive. The solution it offers is that he can prove everybody wrong by just doing well at Blizzcon.

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.

Probably the exact reason why they started with it right there: less interesting stories first to make sure they get read, more interesting to follow so people get more and more excited (and keep reading).
Not many would read Classic's if he were last.

People will always hate on Protoss unless they do something to become a fan favorite but I don't agree that Classic is at any risk of being a flash in the pan like Sniper or Seed. He almost made it to the RO8 in Season 1 this year, losing to his teammates Rain and PartinG in the RO16, did great in the KeSPA Cup, etc. He's just not a fan favorite--people have fallen in love with herO so they sneer at Classic losing in the RO32 in S3 when herO didn't even make it INTO Code S that season.

The only Protoss in the world you can say is clearly stronger than Classic is Zest. Who else? All you've got left is talented Korea-based players that didn't achieve much this year like Rain, herO (whose main accomplishments are losing in the finals of two big tournaments and winning the weakest IEM in memory where he beat nothing but foreigners and MC), PartinG and sOs (okay, sOs accomplished ONE thing this year but that was a long time ago), and players who've made their names beating up Europeans like MC, San and StarDust.

Polt is my favorite player and I am VERY worried for him going up against Classic.


I agree with everything except I'm pretty sure MC made his name by winning back to back GSLs a long time ago and then going on a huge winning spree that netted him half a million in earnings. But he made it to blizzcon by beating euros, though some of them are decent players. Somehow I feel like you can never count MC out but Classic has a better shot at winning this. Great article. I never regarded Classic's triumph as a fluke but I don't follow things too closely nowadays so this was educational.

Amazing article! This kind of content makes me even more hyped for Blizzcon. Can't wait for the other ones, especially players like Jaedong and INnoVation.

I think so too.
And I wonder what cards each players are going to get. I'd say The Chariot for INnoVation, The Hermit for soO and the Emperor for Zest. No idea for the others though

Serious question: is it just me or the libra over Classic's photo shifted? Yesterday I recall the weights to be even, am I hallucinating?

This said, awesome idea and graphics. Not totally a fan of the text this time since it looks more tongue in cheek criticism than actual praises, but I guess Classic's situation (just as Sniper and other champions from the past) required it...
