Hope he can fulfill all toss fans out there winning the Code S title for them. If Classic win the title, it will be longest span in history of GSL Code S (isn't it?) since he won in 2014.
Rogue & Maru fan boy. ^^

Neat clip! Stats was on Splyce so this is not at all the first time Classic was called Protoss itself, but this is probably the best time. Stats is such a laughing and joking person

I think given his talent/experience, he will be in code S in no time.

Damn, Alpha X loading the roster for the next campaign. I guess it's hard to get a strong Terran these days...

I just wanna know if he's already been practicing and has a chance in the GSL qualifier TOMORROW, or if he's just starting to play again and hasn't gotten back into the swing of things yet

He's been playing for a few weeks to my knowledge, so he won't go into the qualifiers totally out of shape.
