Dropped of WCS Season 1 in Round of 32...won IEM Cologne...dropped of WCS Season 2 in Round of 32...12-4 record in ATC. Look at his recent results lol.
Is not about how much TB is influential, but which players are willing to go to this tournament (travel, missing training, etc...). This players also have Proleague and/or GSL, you rarely see them going outside of Korea (this is first Flash appereance since DH Bucharest in last October?).
I knew immediately it was Hero because of one article ICE/FIRE about Hero/Taeja ^^ You live and you learn. Anyhow, I am just not a fan of him, maybe because I didn't watch Starcraft in his prime. But coincidentally I was just thinking about how cool it would be to have an off-race tournament. I remember somehow that Hero is a beast in all 3 races. So he could win me over in a tourney like that. I would absolutely love seeing Taeja, or Life or Soulkey perform with a different race.

MC is also known for having really great off-race skills.
BTW, Jaedong lost on Ro32 of WCS America for the second season in a row. As much as I like JD, I LOVE to see EG players miserably fail while Revival and Oz keep going strong. Karma snow, Karma! ____________
