Honestly with all the semi-retired players, it's hard to pick who is coming back. Like, are any of the following actually "gone"; Scarlett, Stephano, Naniwa .. etc.

I really doubt it's IdrA, but he was always fun to cheer for, so it would be cool seeing him back.

the absence of evidence, is not the evidence of absence.

Can anyone imagine what a 100% committed stephano can do to a WCS roster lacking any top level Koreans? Stephano is smart enough to realize the kind of money he can make in 2016 before this game completely fizzles out. Pretty sure his education can hold off for a year.

Maybe LOTV might not be suited to Stephano well. It could happen that even with training he will not be ever good again. Look at HuK. There was a time where he was really good and now he is bad because game changed so much and his style is impacted by it. Same could happen to Stephano.

Huk's not bad, he just has no results. He's still a good player, and easily one of the best NA players.

When I try to remember vortix, all I can remember is broodlord infestor and him gettin smacked down by mvp at that iem where he was hyped as shit after mvp came in with an amazing counter build that tournament.

No wonder since in your eyes everything done by a Korean is amazing and wonderful while horrible and disgusting if done by European/American


Well in that tournament the only amazing thing being done by foreigners were zergs dominating everyone with bl/I. Everyone except MVP that is who did some serious WORK to turn the entire matchup on its head. Nothing to do with being Korean, just being an amazing 1 of a kind in a class of his own player.

Actually I take that back, I think that is when nerchio used the drone trick to stop the DT's from killing his base ( MC's maybe?). That was kind of cool.

I think those were Yonghwas during HSC final.


Ah I think you are right. Oh well.

IEM is where Nerchio beat one of the hottest Zergs in a mirror and beat MC with a fake 3rd all-in.

From one of my favorite plays.

HOSTESS Ah, there you are at last, Nepommuck. Have you found out all about the Doolittle lady?

NEPOMMUCK I have found out all about her. She is a fraud.

HOSTESS A fraud! Oh, no.

NEPOMMUCK Yes, yes. She cannot deceive me. Her name cannot be Doolittle.

HIGGINS Why?

NEPOMMUCK Because Doolittle is an English name. And she is not English.

HOSTESS Oh, nonsense! She speaks English perfectly.

NEPOMMUCK Too perfectly. Can you show me any English woman who speaks English as it should be spoken? Only foreigners who have been taught to speak it speak it well.

HOSTESS Certainly she terrified me by the way she said How d'ye do. I had a schoolmistress who talked like that; and I was mortally afraid of her. But if she is not English what is she?

NEPOMMUCK Hungarian.

ALL THE REST Hungarian!

NEPOMMUCK Hungarian. And of royal blood. I am Hungarian. My blood is royal.

It is in favor of Z atm and still fairly random but bo3 is better than a random ladder match

No results? Were you born yesterday?

Yeah winning an MLG chock full of Code S Koreans and going through them like a hot knife thru butter is definitely no results. We're talking about beating MC, MKP and July (among others) in their prime for SC2.

You must be trolling.
