soO's 4 GSL will be very interesting indeed but 2013 Jaedong will be great too.

I hope this continues. I'd love reading about 2014's Bonjwa named sOo.

This was awesome! For an MKP fan it felt good to read, even though it's imaginary. Can't wait till we get to the part where, when all foreigner hope was lost, Grubby rose from the ashes, and defeated sting in game 7 of that IEM in front of Jarrett Cale, restoring his passion, and in front of all of Singapore, ushering a new age of foreign starcraft as the crowd goes absolutely nuts.

I often look on that as one of the greatest "what ifs" in starcraft.

I wonder if her0 will seem better or worse in the alternate timeline.


Oh dear god I just imagined:

What if Slayers hadn't lost that GSTL finals? Would the wounds have healed?

OMG, that whole MONTH is going to be fantastic! Adelscott scores a massive victory for foreigners, DRG beats Sniper in Vegas and we all lose our shit. Violet beats Leenock at IPL (eh, still pretty cool), and Parting defeats Life with endless soul trains. (Or wait, who actually won that one?) A year later, (I think? Maybe it was same year, yeah it was... god 2012 was crazy) Parting defeats Rain and is crowned the best protoss in the world.

Wait a sec actually either way Parting won 2 golds and 2 silvers in a matter of like 2 months. I still have no idea how he wasn't higher on the GOAT list.

Overall in premier tournies Parting goes from 5 golds 6 silvers to 6 golds 5 silvers, but in major tournies he goes from 8 golds 1 silver to 1 gold 8 silvers :/

It'll be interesting to see how Wax spins that one.

You mean HyuN beats Sniper, not DRG.

By the way, look at the winrates in grand finals of Mvp/Life/TaeJa. That's incredible.

Well I hope nothing horrible gets announced that makes me indefinitely put parts 2, 3, and 4 on hold.

Reminds me that sOs will be that guy that lost multiple $100k tournaments, and failed two proxy gates against herO in a row in winner-takes-all.

Some things are constants across realities though, like Fruitdealer being my favourite.
I bear this sig to commemorate the loss of the team icon that commemorated Oversky's 2008-2009 Proleague Round 1 performance.

And TaeJa mine.

By the way, does TaeJa win that IPL team league against IM in this universe?

I guess, but the Summers of 2012/2013 become his "Summers of Silver"

It's okay, he beat life at the first hots gsl and won a hsc against parting.
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

Oh this is so rich. Well done!

I'm imaging all these SoCal GSL barcrafts that would've gone so incredibly differently. Instead of wearily watching a trounce, I could've seen IncA's surprisingly revolutionary DT strategies emerge triumphant.

Soon: TaeJa, finding summers so brutally devastating, soon discovered cooler weather was his good-luck charm.

If only: SC2Earnings year by year and summation total $$ won if the 1st and 2nd prize pools switched for every major tournament.

Very fun read. This tickled my funny bone the most:

Nestea suffered the worst. In the grand finals of Code S May, InCa humiliated Nestea with four consecutive Dark Templar rushes in a clean 4-0 sweep (giving Protoss their first title along the way).
