Mirror matches only make good finals if they are really big name players.

Eg, (P)Bisu vs (P)Stork
(Z)Jaedong vs (Z)EffOrt
(T)Flash vs (T)fantasy

Just wondering, what's the reason for the Z domination this season?
Z stepped it up?
Crappy maps? =/

holy shit i really cant believe all this hate and im honestly disgusted by people who actually believe iris threw the series

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


game 3
he decided to float all his vessels over kwanro
okay
but he was up 2-0 and had a pretty good lead in the game
sure that move was completely unnecessary, but if he got lucky, he couldve irradiated a shitload of defilers and ultras
and you do have to credit kwanro for playing a great late game after that

game4
i supposed people are looking at two moments in the game
the dropship move was a great mind game considering kwanro's aggressive style
after defending the vultures, kwanro would realize iris had no factory in main, so he would counter the defenseless main, which is when iris's dropship would rip apart the main
losing a lot of scvs to the lurker was bad sure, but it wasnt so terrible if you consider that iris was microing the drop in kwanro's main (which he probably thought was his last chance to make a comeback in the game)

unnecessary risks, maybe, but they deifnitely werent stupid shit and the ideas themselves did have a pretty good chance at working (by the way, everything i say here, im pretty much repeating what i heard from the commentators)
i could also give you some bullshit about blahblah you have to take risks to win
his risks didnt work out, partly due to luck, partly due to not being executed perfectly, but 8 pages of kwanro/iris/msl hate and matchfixing accusations are going way too far

id rather watch Horang2 vs Movie PvP finals with some reaver micro and prolly some sweet crazy DT rushes , proxy robos and shit or some nice TvT with more than 2-3 units used + BC battles than a Kwanro vs Calm ZvZ finals with ... mutas and lings as always ... seriously , this fucking blows , i cant even describe my disappointment with words

Jaedong and Yarnc are great players, so blame Iris

1.he had good maps
2.he played beatable opponent that he knew well
3.he was leading 2-0

I would like to have seen Iris but what are u gonna do. Calm will probleby take this just by outsmarting Kwanro. I think Iris would still have lost to Calm in the finals but the finals would have been far more intresting.

What the hell Iris!!!

After I got over Jaedong losing to Calm I was still kinda looking forward to seeing TvZ in finals with Iris and Calm.. but Calm vs Kwanro??

To be honest I don't actually think ZvZ finals are bad in themselves, I just don't care about either of the players at all. What's the netizen response been?
