I hope the finals were good games though.
my opinion of the games:
+ Show Spoiler + I checked them out before going to bed yesterday so I kinda just scanned through them but the games seemed just like a (un)pretty big one sided rape.
Huge props to winner though for making it look so easy against such an extremely strong opponent
Btw. commentry done by ips.zero, a german player, some will find this annoying as his english is pretty bad, but at least it's someone who knows something about starcraft, so I still liked it better than most commentaries
spoiler spoiling the exact results:
+ Show Spoiler + wow so Idra didn't lose a single game in the entire tourney, including the freaking finals, now thats damn impressive

Actually I really liked the commentary on these games. I feel his limited English kept him from going into a lot of detail on strategy (which I would have liked, but does demand a bit more vocabulary than straight play-by-play) but the upside is that it made him talk slowly and really think about what he was going to say. It was pleasant to listen to. I also really enjoyed how he seems to be super up-to-date on the scene, and was dropping references to things like IdrA-Tarson in GOM.

Eh... why is this recommended? Feels like a small piece of my soul died after watching that.

Yeah seriously I specifically uploaded this because I liked the commentary. Of course it's hard to do that in a foreign language, but content wise this is what I would expect. Knows what he is talking about, still not too deep into game mechanics, easy to follow, and enriched with trivia from the current foreigner and pro gaming scene. I only wish the IPS.ZeRo would cast games in German, instead of the clueless people at the ESL casts.

Thirded! The commentary was better than the games, IMO.

Seconded. Short and sweet (though not one-sided): the kind I like.

I really liked his cast too. Very informative, strategic and the progaming gossip is a nice bonus.
