Code S is going to be like 20 current Korean pros and a dozen non-Koreans and has beens. yep, quite sad to see people like Bomber, Taeja, HerO, not delivering in such a constant way. one question tho, how the f did Ptitdrogo win 2-0 vs Dark?? is there a vod? | ||

They should rename it (this is not a balance whine, i just find it funny) I think it's mostly because of the amount of good players in korea is just that way (also brackets where a bit rigged in protoss favor i think). when Zest, Stats (maybe even sOs) etc have to retire (which is somewhen this year no?), it will be different again :D | ||

I guess dark went 12pool all-in the first game and drogo went chargelot archon all-in the second with dark having his fourth at six minute mark | ||

Possible for sure but it would definitely surprise me, what are proposing. Drogo 2-0 macrogames and Dark is like "Shit cant win macro against this guy better 12 pool" and turned it around? | ||

I think there's excitement around Cure because he's showing good results against amazing players (e.g., beat Maru in IEM qualifiers, narrowly lost to Serral on the EU server despite ping issues). He's currently #2 ranking on Aligulac. I think he's been respected and has had potential for a long time, but maybe just has issues with performing in big games. Will be interesting to see if he can overcome that! | ||

How many titles does he have? And then we have Innovation. And Maru goes on rampage against said Innovation  (one of the fastest BO7 Maru played and he played against Innovation in his prime! (intended ))But he was good enough for Proleague, so who knows, maybe he didn't care about them solo titles | ||

Also he could have potentially threw to avoid zest ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | ||

I don't follow that scene as much, but my understanding is that Flash was ridiculously dominant even until the end when he retired. I wonder if there will ever be a SC2 player that achieves that level of dominance, or if there's just something about BW that's different. So awesome that we'll have at least 3 more years to find out!!! | ||

I often wonder why he was so good in PL but not that dominating in GSL(and other non-team tourneys). But maybe I remember it wrong :D (also it's not like he was that bad either, he just didn't win everything like Innovation ) | ||

Not that I think he hated SC2 or anything but it’s difficult to climb another mountain especially if it’s not your true love. | ||
