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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
BisuDagger's prediction: 3-2 Killer. I wouldn't want Heyoka to hide in a bunker.
Cancel your plans for the weekend, phone a friend, and get ready to partake in the awesome ZvZ Starleague final. I 78% guarantee you, it's not one you'll want to miss. Special thanks to everybody that provided random hype from around Teamliquid and to all the staff who gave their predictions.

It appears the Youtube link is long gone, unfortunately -- is the an updated link?
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.
Timing for this just couldn't be any worse. Too bad though since I wanted to tune in. Regardless, Killer definitely taking this, 4-2 Good plagiarism, I mean writeup

jaedong lost to zero in the msl right after pdpop, abc mart
i think this will be a very close one 4-3 killer
I find and replaced all instances of hydra and great in the interviews that were shameless ripped from the msl thread.
oh! I thought all those ppl gave actual input
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

I was replying to John about the predictions, ie: too bad the predictions in OP make no sense because it's Bo7.

oh my bad
my reading comprehension is about of a five years old t_t
I have no acess to the temp_snipealot channels dashboards so I can't make any videos. I made sure all of Sonic got streamed and most of LoveTV. We lost a bit of some of the games but most of it got streamed. But I can'tmake videos from channels I don't have acess to.
