I'd like to put my wordplay hat on, and discuss this sentence in the opening paragraph. I could go on for the entire article, and all the 'Road to Blizzcon' series, but I don't have the time or energy.
Far more players retire in quiet though, with a few tweeted words in hangul being the only thing to mark their passing.
This is a good line but reads a bit awkward. I would write it as:
Far more players retire in quiet, with the only thing to mark their passing are a few tweeted words in hangul.
Or as:
Far more players retire in quiet, with only a few tweeted words in Hangul to mark their passing.
Of course, writing is subjective, but I find it easier to captivate the audience when fewer words are used.
Otherwise, good read. 7.5/10

I feel like the players who've been playing SC2 for years without nearly the success of soO have suffered a lot more than he has.

Please soO, win Blizzcon and ride off into the sunset.

You have Innovation ranked third and Stats at 1? 1-2 in my opinion are a toss up between Inno and Rogue. Stats is a solid third. I wonder how I have the guy with 11 semis in the past 13 tournaments at no 1... Players on momentum are more likely to win tournaments than constant players
I really disagree with this, lol. It's easy to say after the fact that "wow ____ is really good right now" but tons of players pull out big wins and then proceed to fall back into doing nothing noteworthy.

But they won a tournament in the process, maybe beating more constant players

I'd prefer soO winning Blizzcon, not retiring and becoming the soOjwa we were promised!

soO has suffered like no other... Chasing Eden Wow, that's probably too much. An article for a drama magazine?
|
No other outcome would make me happier
|
soO is the only non-protoss player I cheer for and would not be disappointed winning blizzcon!

They may have suffered more, but soO's is a different kind of suffering

Blizzcon can easily be that big win though. Whoever wins could be irrelevent next year. You can bet on consistant players winning more overall in their careers, but when looking at a specific event it's all about who shows up on the day
soO is a perfect example of consistancy not actually winning a tournament haha.
|
I'm pretty sure I want soO to win more than anyone else. Imagine how amazing that would be.
|
No matter how soO does at Blizzcon, he is still in the top 5 best players of Starcraft history... Maybe Innovation, MVP, Life, and arguably Taeja you could put above him? I don't think that MC or DRG or Nestea would be better than soO
|
im cheering for soO ...he deserves a huge win pls pls pls
