Yeah TY, RorO, Flash, sOsx2 are all still counting all their free dreamhack money.
OH WAIT NO. sOs got Ro8 at Bucharest, 9th-12th at DH Winter, TY got Ro16 before he was beaten by (wait for it) MC at Bucharest this year, and RorO and Flash both failed to make top 16, meaning they got outperformed by several foreigners.

I wonder if it's the travel/jet lag or if Kespa players just look at non-GSL/SPL tournaments like vacations and don't care how they do.
If Dreamhack went to Seoul, for example, what would the results look like?

I can virtually guarantee that this one is not the case. One look at Flash's face post DH elimination can tell you that.

no time too; no free rides? I don't know. If we look at MLG's listing it's just as weak as this now and it is what it is. If I watch anything it will be the semis/finals if I have time.

Flash really hasn't done crap individually yet though to be frank.

oh this is funny, it was actually MC who knocked out TY at the previous dreamhack.
Happy this was said. Let these guys tell it and Kespa players always win.. but the reality is that when these guys come to play with the rest of the world, they get bopped by the likes of Taeja, Polt, MC and even foreigners.

I think we need to see more kespa vs non-kespa interaction to gain a better point of view. Last weekend gave of a very strong KT/CJ representation at Sandisk, but also a very weak Samsung showing at HSC. Especially Bomber made Stork look leagues under him, IIRC.

Power Ranking is back! Yes!
In the writeup about Snute it says
However on a good day, he's more than capable of plowing through players such as Welmu, Yoda, Jjakji, First and even MC, all of whom will be playing here at this Dreamhack.
However, this is an error. Welmu is not on the player list for Dreamhack

ABomB 2-0 Bbyong. Never forget.

I remember that Dreamhack where Axiom sent Impact along for some reason and he got knocked out in the group stage by a player ten times better than him.

MC is like #15, he lucks out a lot of the time owing to the inherent gimmickiness of protoss...he does us a disservice in cheesing his way deep into tourneys as he just spoils what could have been good series by eventually getting stomped so hard becuz his cheese can only carry him so far (see HSC IX final). i used to like him but now i dread every time he gets remotely deep in a tourney eheh this is how i've felt about MC for 3 yrs, never understood his fans How can you luck out for 3 years straight? Also, I've seen some independent finals ranking with MC - PuMa at IEM as nr. 1. Just putting that out there But maybe you are right, and we should be cutting him by the caps for making a bad finals at HSC
MC is great at Protoss vs foreigners, because foreigners can't hold all-ins. Unfortunately it's worthless vs any decent player, so he doesn't even try to make an attempt in the GSL these days.
I didn't even watch HSC (saw the 0-4 score and was quite surprised). To me, MC/Stardust/duck2/Toss123 in the foreigner scene is exactly same player, they just cheese at a high level. They're a stain to players like Rain/herO/Zest same way Puma was to MvP. I don't even mean them ill-will or anything, I just sigh when they win

TAEJA DON'T RETIRE PLEASE!!!

I love the power ranks, even though I never agree with them.

Taeja retiring after WCS Finals? No plz no
|
Really curious on how Bunny and Dayshi will perform.
More importantly #YearOfHarstem
|
So im just going to go ahead and assume the writers involved in this post are mostly anti-protoss and pro-zerg players... so much negativity towards the protosses especially white-ra... altho cant really tell if what they said was in good nature or wishing him to actually get knocked out early...
