The double meaning sounds strangely condescending. But I'm rooting for the Axiom kid, the terminator and the foreign hope. 'Tis gonna be one helluva show!
This tournament looks great; after the relatively low representation at the last two Blizzcons Zergs will get a chance to dominate. I'm hoping Impact will repeat his great Bucharest performance.
cjhero vs taeja is my ideal finals HYPE
go to class, come back and watch dh, repeat for three days? seems like a good plan

There's red in the Korean flag too. :p I'm hoping for either Life or a TL player to win it.
Good changes from 2013. Should be fun to watch

They fixed the Best Of system!
Lol, Snute looks so lonely on that list xD. Props to him for being the only foreigner to make it. This tournament should be sick!
Best of 7 finals? Awwwww yiss Hoping for an Impact or CJ herO victory
Very sexy tournament. Someone should check how much the 20 players at Dreamhack intersect with the top 20 of WCS rankings
