Yeah. The banner image is great too, which is the one that really relates to the article. I just thought it was a funny detail.
I bear this sig to commemorate the loss of the team icon that commemorated Oversky's 2008-2009 Proleague Round 1 performance.

If I had to pick one player to win this Blizzcon its Zest. Pick 2: Zest or Inno, Pick 3: Zest, Inno or herO.

Too much graveling. So many run-on sentences. Seriously the last sentence in the article is 50 freaking words long. You don't have to use every adjective to describe something.
Team Liquid needs more Terrans.

I think herO is gonna do really well. At least I hope he does. I predict a Zest/herO finals.

I like herO, but I didn't find this article as compelling as 8 of the other 9. It just didn't seem to go anywhere, or get me particularly excited about the coming tourney.

Needless to say, I'm excited for Blizzcon regardless. Just this article didn't do much to enhance that.

When they started talking about herO's smile that was the first image that popped in my mind. Just such a rare moment to see a progamer actually enjoying the game *in the moment* as opposed to after the GG / series.

Sucks that herO will go against the boss first, but I do want he to go all the way.

Things that happened as a result of this article:

1. I watched herO vs Hyun at IEM Katowice. Game 4 was great, but game 5 really took the cake. The multitasking herO had to conjure up to control his Blink all-in Stalkers and his Forcefielding defensive Sentries at literally the same time was genuinely, strikingly impressive.

2. I have become a a fan of herO as a result, which is an idea I've never toyed with in the past.

3. While watching Hyun's Overlord guarding herO's main, I thought, "Oh my god, what if herO had a proxy Nexus somewhere and recalled his Immortals to it without giving Hyun 40-60 seconds of walking distance to prepare for the all in?! What if other Protoss did that?! All the time?!?!"

4. I googled this gloriously evil strategy to see if it's ever been attempted before and it has!!! Billowy did it against Symbol in Code A!!!

5. I realized that even I have the capacity for horrendous bullshit crimes against humanity.

This has been a very dramatic evening for me. I'd like to thank Zealously for being indirectly responsible for my journey of cosmic warfare and self discovery. I must now come to terms with all these new feelings.

Seriously TL writers, you need to start writing bad previews for BlizzCon, because me thinking "Omg this article is amazing, it's one of the best I've read this year" everytime you publish one is starting to get repetitive (;
Excellent article, I feel like this extract really express why herO is one of my favorite player :

...what strikes me as a desire to win for the sake of victory and the sheer joy that victory gives him. The smile that rarely leaves him might indicate a satisfaction, a being happy with simply having come this far, but that would be an unfair representation. There is more to him than that, a singular dedication to his goals no weaker than that of Zest or Rain. He smiles as he plays Starcraft on a level very few can match, and keeps smiling as he piles one achievement upon another, but it is not the kind of smile that would be cocky on the lips of others. When faced with adversity, herO will clench his teeth but eventually, inevitably, emerge on the other side, unscathed. Perhaps adversity is what has taught herO never to surrender in the face of defeat, and to celebrate all the more when he wins.

Thanks for this article, it really hit me right in the feels.

When I came back to SC2 a year ago and started following the scene again after about a year break. I found herO and I was furious, whats with this guy stealing the name of HerO?! I totally dislikes herO for almost half a year.

He started growing on me, slowly at first with his play and then came the sOs vs herO match, I was cheering for sOs mostly just to watch the fake herO lose. How I laughed when I saw the proxies but at the last game my smile got stuck in my throat because the face of herO in defeat didn't make me happy like I thought it would. The situation, the proxies the defeat I pitied herO then. Then he lost and I saw the aftermath and what came after? A smiling herO, he walked out of there and, he smiled and he partied and that spirit, that sheer strength of heart blew me away.

That day through his defeat and the way he handled it he made me a fan, he really is like the sun.
