EPTI have only been watching since late '07 so I have to ask, is this the least anticipated starleague final ever? Between the matchup and the players, it's like a perfect storm of mediocrity.
Least hyped Starleague final in history?

I'm terrified of what the next OSL and MSL maps are going to be like balance wise. God knows they will never want to have something like this ever happen again. I predict lots of TvP in the future. Yeah...it seems to move in cycles, doesn't it? Last season, the Protoss were dominating with P-favored maps, and the Zerg were getting almost totally squelched. In response to that, KESPA brought out a bunch of Zerg-favored anti-Protoss maps, leading Zerg to be almost totally ascendant, and Protoss to be stomped down. Next season, presumably, the cycle will continue, but this time with Zerg on the losing side of the equation. Fair's fair... | ||

I actually stayed up for the JD vs yarnc games because I wanted to see the golden mouse (fuck woops spoilers srry) in his hands. I dont think its the fact about the match up, as in my opinion all match ups are awesome. Kwanro is not an exciting player, and Calm is up and rising. IF it was JD vs Calm, then it would be a different story. I dont understand their logic of making maps slightly favoured toward a race. The ideal quarter finals should have a player from each race (like how GOM season 1 was, iirc). | ||

But rather it's "hey it looks like protoss really can't win on maps with X and Y, so lets make 1 thats more like Z to make it more balanced" and then that has a lot of effects on not on that particular MU but all matchups. | ||

Maybe you are not a Protoss player but we all loved it. It's like....everything was ready, Kang Min just needed a damn OSL trophy. Imagine if Bisu finally wins an OSL. It's probably the same hype. rA/Zeus final was also the only official televised e-sports event on Chinese central television network with millions of viewers. (After that anything related to video game was banned on TV networks in China.) | ||

Besides KPGA 1 final Boxer vs Yellow and last MSL Luxury vs Jangbi, this is the third MSL final without a Gold Barge winner, quoted from a Chiense friend. Nada, Oov, Savior and Bisu must feel sad | ||

During his time as #1, around May 2006 to November 2006 his ZvT was 8 wins - 14 losses. (This was from someone that was ranked #1 -_-) The reason why he got the #1 ranking in the first place was from his 2 previous MSL wins. CYON MSL - Once past the groups stages was all ZvZ. UZOO MSL - 14/16 games were vsZ or vsP. And we all know he got raped by Casy in the 2006 Shinhan OSL finals. Also if you look at the #1 list: -Boxer, iloveoov, Nada, July, Bisu, Flash, Jaedong and Stork. Does Chojja (and Stork) really belong there? | ||
