But I guess with soO playing for Twice Liquid the TL bias is going strong there They both hardly played in anything with the added bonus of TY failing in the Super Tournament qualifiers. Like I personally think TY is stronger than soO atm, but there's so little recent data (65 games in 2 months for TY, 127 in 2 months for soO) that you can essentially make this a toss up. | ||

I think by "prodigal" they meant "prodigious". Those two words are often confused but they have very different meanings. I think "prodigious talent" would be appropriate in context. | ||

GSL vs the world was relatively recent and TY made the finals there, trashing soO in the semis. | ||

For example I never saw willing used in a context like this: "Those fans who had ardently, futilely willing him on up until that point, inadvertently spawned a new version of TY." What does it mean to will someone on? "He often seems far better suited of the role of fool than the all conquering hero." Is "suited of the role" a thing? Why does this only bother me, does noone else read these things? | ||

Why does this only bother me, does noone else read these things? It makes perfect sense to me, are you a native English speaker? | ||

I'm a native English speaker...and while it's easy enough to understand what Miz is trying to say, there's a lot of tense confusion (had willing makes no sense, should read "had been willing") that could make some clauses ambiguous. Also, one is suited *to* a role, not "of" a role. It bothers me too, but to me it's just another grammatically imperfect post on the internet and generally not worth commenting on in terms of word choice and mechanics. I'd much rather complain about sOs and Maru not making it (again). | ||

I'd much rather complain about sOs and Maru not making it (again). As a non-native it is a little like reading Herman Melville, just with mistakes. So I have to look up many words and get confused, when someone with a much bigger vocabulary makes mistakes. That is why it bothered me, I guess I better stick to reading books until I have more confidence in my english. :< Thanks by the way, really needed a native's perspective on this. | ||

What I really appreciate are the actual points you make. Your articles have a very nice structure to it. I was wondering though, if there might is too much focus on colorful words and not enough on keeping scentences succinct an clear. I would have never guessed you had an editor, then your best has to become better as I deliberately didn't point out the typos. | ||
