2nd LoveTV BJ Starleague Grand Final
http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/2nd_LoveTV_Starleague
Wednesday, Jun 18 1:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00)

(Z)Modesty vs (Z)Killer


      While Brood War is still gaining new fans, there are still a lot of fans who have been around since the 2011 PDPop MSL. Yes, that was another entertaining finals between two great ZvZers. So, since I am willing to admit that the writing staff in 2011 was far more talented than I, I am going to quote their historic hype in an attempt to plagiarize make this article more fun for the readers.

Reference article: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/news-archive/194103-msl-new-blood


Underwhelming, as most would think, but we're here to tell you otherwise. Despite this final not having any big names or long-standing rivalries, this match offers something more, something that no other ZvZ could have brought us. Change. -]343[, l10f, and flamewheel

Well, I can’t be certain we will see change in this finals, but we really will see two talented zergs going head to head. Killer has consistently lead the scene as a Zerg for two years now. Modesty has proven his worth time after time over the past 6 months. There is no doubt the level of play these players have to offer.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3d1xUT4O2Y


Remember kids, drinking is bad, as Modesty is here to tell you. Why is this man depressed? Is it because this is going to be a boring ZvZ finals, bound to cause MSL and viewers alike to drink themselves into a stupor?

No. While this final is neither a bonjwa coronation ceremony nor a fight for the Silver Mouse, it definitely will have its own place in history. - flamewheel

To flamewheel’s point, this will have its place in history. This second Starleague by LoveTV marks both consistency and excitement. Before this time, sonic was the sole streamer of pro tournaments. As this championship concludes, viewer numbers should be higher and the success of the championship overall has now put it on the radar for foreign fans. I’m sure we will all be demanding a 3rd Starleague soon after.

Now, let’s go to the staff predictions for the outcomes of this tournament.

Staff Predictions

[image loading] + Show Spoiler [Writers] +
[image loading] flamewheel
+ Show Spoiler +
Killer wins 3-1 if Modesty plays standard. Modesty wins 3-2 and the world implodes if he plays tricky.

I vote Killer because the last time a zerg beat Jaedong in a bo5 he went on to win the msl. In a ZvZ finals too!

What the fuck do we do if Modesty wins a starleague? Everything we know, all we have written, all the arguments we have about Starcraft being the truest the sports, the most manly competition where those who prove unworthy falter and crumble under pressure, its all moot. It means nothing if Modesty is awarded a Starleague trophy.

I am bunkering the fuck up if he wins because it is surely a sign of a coming apocalypse.

If Modesty is allowed to win a starleague, I'm going to be furious.

Killer 3-0

Honestly, Killer had an excellent showing in the semi-finals against Jaedong. However,I predict Modesty will have some incredible builds prepared as he already stated he wanted to spearhead an incoming ZvZ revolution some time ago.

I really want to care about this finals, but I don't at all. Killer is going to win, either 3-2 or 3-1. He's been unstoppable ZvZ lately, and he made smashing Jaedong look incredibly easy. AS much as I love my Khan's, Modesty doesn't have what it takes to win a finals.

Special thanks to everybody that provided random hype from around Teamliquid and to all the staff who gave their predictions.

I'll probably be watching this over SAT Group A simply because Group A isn't exactly the toughest group.

It was a paste from the other thread. Maybe someone will remember what it was. Hopefully I can get the previews for the all stars tournament done tonight too.

jaedong lost to zero in the msl right after pdpop, abc mart

i think this will be a very close one 4-3 killer

The weird format with tons of spoilers + so many predictions of old users who don't even visit TL anymore + flamewheel's and disciple's icons tipped me off.

Too bad it's a Bo7 so it makes no sense. Still, I did enjoy the reminiscence of ZvZ MSL finals. Can't believe Avalon MSL was already 5 years ago. It still makes me angry that JD failed twice in ZvZ semi-finals, although Hydra was really good during PDPop.

Hype hype hype!

I want Modesty to win this so he can become the huge favorite for SSL 10, until Bisu announces at the last minute that he will be participating to defend his title.

i was very impressed by Modesty recent showing in his ZvT (most of his matchups in this tourney), basically showcasing a wide variety of builds to steamroll the Terrans he played so far.

He might pull an upset if he can carry that kind of form to his ZvZ
