IEM World Championships coming off as the big redemption tournament for a lot of players. Cheering for the underdogs!

It's a bit late but I want to say thanks for the great article, I didn't know that part about Cure. I absolutely love someone who grabs every oppoturnity he can get and work his balls off. Now I have to choose between him and the best player of my race

I'm just glad we live in a world where Korean starcraft is still strong and Team Liquid still exists. Thank god.


Yeah, think I'm gonna hop on that train. I like a lot of players here, but nobody do I hold deep investment in. May as well go with Fantasy and hope for a little vindication.

I once thought he'd be the best Kespa player to switch over :/

Too bad Rain will bite his head off.

Name the 5 greatest BW Terrans of all time: hint, it goes Flash, Nada, iloveoov, Boxer and then FanTaSy.

Sorry but it is: NaDa, Flash, iloveoov, BoxeR, XellOs and then Fantasy


Nope, Fanta > Xellos. Xellos was popular in netwars long ago becouse of his insane micro, still had nowhere as powerfull impact on metagame as Fantasy.

in terms of impact on how the game is played it's iloveoov by a landslide partly due to his influence on fantasy.
fantasy the player is pretty limited without oov's guidance.
We have fed the heart on fantasies, the heart's grown brutal from the fare, more substance in our enmities than in our love

Maru's piece was very harsh on who for me is definitely a top 3 terran.

Maru is a champion and everyone knows it. He will prove this throughout this IEM I'm sure of it.

Maybe. Maybe not. He's mediocre at best when not playing against terran. Lost to Life when he had a hangover. Maru will probably get rektastated.

Well I guess we won't find out now. Epic Maru v Life rematch getting denied at every major tournament so far.

Did anyone ever figure out what was going on with Life today? Not enough sleep? Allergies? Kespa crushing his soul?

Went 3-5 against the two best PvTers on the planet in the NSSL ro16.

Went 3-4 against Life in the IEM Taipei finals.

Went 4-2 against Stats, who knocked INnoVation with his 90% TvP out of the NSSL.

"Mediocre when not playing against Terran."

Are you high?

They already have. Using your definition of mediocrity, Dream is the only Terran good (not great!) at TvZ on planet Earth.
