They are all monsters, the format isn't in favor of anyone. In fact this format is favor more solid and experience player, you can't catch a good roll and runaway from it, you have to fight for it from be beginning till the end.
If anyone did watch the match Shane vs Wu, we can see clearly that he's not feeling confortable, that he's not showing a confidence and intimidating image like he is normally, but he put up a good fight and fortunately Wu also played poorly, he won that match well-deserved.
Absolutely no shame for Shane finished 5th in this field considering his performances in the international soil until now, be optimistic dude, isn't it one of his best performance in a tourney outside the U.S ?
Be realistic also, Shane is no.1 in the U.S but there are more than 10 in the world that at least be 50-50 against him. So just cheers for him and hope that he will do better in the W9C in Doha.
Way to go Shane, go go. :thumbup:
