I am rooting for Bunny. Would be such a redemption after his horrible season.

Nice work Wax as always.
Now witness their attempts to fly from tree to tree. Notice they do not so much fly as plummet.

Will there be a power rankings before IEM? I think it's safe to put Serral, Maru, herO, Dark at the top. I think Clem has done well, but he seems sort of hit or miss. I'd love to see some of the low ranking players eek into the top 8. And I'll always accept a Byun win.

Yeah, other than I think one victory vs herO, Clem seems to be overly specialized vs Serral and Reynor, not that great against any other championship players.

Byun has been looking really impressive the last couple months; I'd also love to see Bunny make a really deep run, or Creator.

Great article.

It's a shame that releasing a new patch just before Katowice has lessened the focus on the many amazing storylines that we've experienced over the course of the season...

Arguably it would be better to forget about such an event.

My fav story this year is Creator finally winning, I find so amusing also how he hypes up himself when playing.

After 11 years of watching competetive SCII it´s easy to become a bit jaded.
So thank you, Wax, for reminding us what a great time it´s actually been recently.

GREAT GREAT ARTICLE.
