the season of boring and guys with zerg fetishes

The period around Clubday MSL was way more "boring"

people loved it a lot more than this. and stop bitching about imba thx


Don't speak for people, i didn't love it.

However bisu vs jangbi/stork vs best is better than calm vs kwanro, but still zvz is bashed so much nowadays because of the influx of it, while pvp was praised.

Do you dare deny that iris played unecessarilly risky and did stupid shit


I don't want to believe it, but after what I saw, there are the following options.

1. Matchfixing for money
2. Iris giving Kwanro the shot at the finals out of kindness
3. Haunted by GGPlay

Of those 3, number 1 seems most likely to me.

zerg isnt boring, zvz is



Prediction: Mutas


i'll one up you and say drones.

And I'll raise you 1 hatch and throw in a couple of zerglings.

A ZvZ isn't ideal for finals I'll admit, but it beats having say a TvT for finals, I can't stand TvT. At least ZvZ games are quicker (too quick for a finals though imo).

Because when you left, Brood War was all spotlights and titans. Now, with the death of the big leagues, Brood War has moved to the basements and carparks. Now, Brood War is unlicensed brawls, lost teeth, and bloody fights for fistfulls of money - SirJolt

Agreed. TvT is by far the most boring matchup.

You know... I kicked my gf out of the room for various matches before, Heritage league epicness and the likes... Didnt mind taking the heat for it later on, after all games like Bisu-JD is better than sex :-) But I would never ever even think about doing it for Calm-Kwanro... Not a matchup I'd tune for in any freakin' stage. Depressing...

You called rigging once already, I think that was enough:-p

what?


iris could've won, but instead did unnecessarily risky stuff in games 3 and 4. it has nothing to do with commitments to proleague (plus, kwanro had wcg also, iris had gom but that was over)

TvT has the potential to produce great games of varying lengths. ZvZ is the same old stuff everytime basically, there are a few good games here and there but for the most part its the worst MU from the viewer perspective.

Probably, but I just cannot reach another conclusion. I refuse to believe Kwanro won fair and square after being comprehensively rolled by Iris' sharp play in the first two games.
