Rain's PvP in WoL was incredible, hope he can do well in HotS too.

Man what happened to snow, after that pretty slick WCS Korea qualifier run (Albeit not qualifying) he appeared a few times in hybrid league and poofed into thin air. I'm currently rolling with the theory he's in the cave with bisu who is trying to figure out why 12 minute sentry max isn't working and leta who's mastering backflips.

I can't claim to understand Protoss play but it looks to me like they're playing WoL PvP with some HotS units added in. The word out there is that in HotS, he who makes the most Void Rays fastest wins.

The guy casting with Axslav is rather annoying with his limited understanding of the game yet being a smartass to axslav all the time (yes i know he follows it up with ''it's a joke'' everytime).

Oh well, fun to see a hots tournament anyway.
