If you don't know how to post in a live report thread by now, be advised: don't whine about game balance and don't bash players/casters/interviewers/staff/other posters. And don't start the USA USA USA!!! stuff. | ||

Bling is really the only one with the potential to go deep in the tournament who hasn't been on the radar for long. People who are known but deserve more attention than they get are certainly Nerchio, Socke, HasuObs, Cloud, Darkforce, Naama and Nightend. I don't think all of them are in top shape, though, we'll see. Goody is not top tier and I wouldn't consider him a dark horse - I don't think he'll go far - but he is often underestimated because pros and casters make fun of his speed and style (the pros casting last HSC, Artosis on SOTG) but you shouldn't forget that he wins a shitload of online tournaments, often against some of the players attending here and that he is actually quite good and capable of taking a game or even a series off anyone (even NesTea knows this). | ||

Sadly there are only few of the players which I personally think are worthy of this hype. Yeah it´s kinda sad we are going to miss Naniwa, HuK, Tyler, ... who made the HSC 3 so amazing. But let us hope that the "new" guys will do it the same way | ||

My Darkhorse would be Real, who is a Korean training in Germany (in that exact house where HSC takes place). Maybe Naama, though he has a cheesy playstyle, I can see it working again. If you mean who has a winning shot, than Thorzain and Stephano. | ||

Sadly there are only few of the players which I personally think are worthy of this hype. I see at least twelve players every tournament outside of the GSL should be glad to have. The rest is a mix of seriousness, fun and a relaxed atmosphere that will make the tournament as entertaining as little to no event has ever been so far. As Take said in the podcast with TL, the first three days are a semi-serious build-up for the super-competitive RO8 & onwards on the last day where every player is focused and the only players left are the ones who you could see in any Dreamhack or MLG quarterfinals, too. | ||

TypeII's training is not the same as Takes flat. The are participating every sunday at the Go4SC2 cups from Takes place, but it's not their trainingshouse. | ||
