Those finals weren't really one sided though, sure the final score was 4-1 but it really didn't look like it. Both players played amazing games that were really close but MMA was always just a little bit ahead. Also the mkp nestea series wasn't really one sided (4-3)?? And also if you consider the team leagues as finals they have never been disappointing.

I totally think that given the assumption that Artosis and Tasteless have psychic powers, they could definitely cause one player to underperform and the other to auto-win easily.
But if we're dealing with reality, then no.

Artosis knew the risk he ran when he chose Losira as the favourite to win lol  . (Losira does has a very bad TvT record though to be honest, and MMA would not have dropped a single set if he had...walled...in the first game - that being said the games weren't really too one sided, the last one saw almost a base trade scenario but Losira panicked with his banes).

In particular I remember thinking that, with the exception of a strangely terrible engagement in one game, Losira vs. MMA was quite exciting. That is, it was exciting before the finals. Both players had terrific games against others (MMA vs. July and Losira vs MC were pretty fun). They also had cool games against each other. Then the finals come around and Losira puts up a fight in each game but is convincingly 2-0'ed. So as I'm watching this, I can't help but wonder....one sided finals = the tastosis curse? Remember, they have already admitted to cursing Clide with their favor. Is it such a stretch to think the casting archon's psionic powers extend to finals as well? + Show Spoiler +
Was great having them casting with the whole double stream thing. Choosing what stream to watch throughout the event often was the biggest problem I had (that and how much I fucking hate Bing).
Well, if we count BW, no. I believe they casted the WCG grand finals in 2008 and 2009 and they were both relatively competitive (but then again both were Bo3s only).

Losira has never shown a strong ZvT. I was more surprised that he took a game off MMA than that the finals were short and one-sided. The games were close, but the way Losira dominates ZvP, it leaves something to wonder about his ZvT...especially his decision making.
|
If LosirA doesn't improve his TvZ enough I'd like him to off race as Terran when he plays against another Terran. Apparently NesTea thinks LosirA plays better as Terran than Zerg, heh.
|
This is somewhat OT, but is there a way to view the Tastosis cast of the finals? I want to see their reaction when MMA>Losira as well as hear their general love and enjoyment.
