Couldn't watch liven but incredibly good final.
Game 1 : beautiful hold by fanta, very tense game, the cheese wasn't bad, but roO lacked the confidence to do something else than the prepared complete all-in. But really Fanta can be incredibly clutch sometimes.
Game 2 : Perfect play by Bisu, he was one step ahead the whole time. He has learn't a lot since that game vs YellOw (even though YellOw's game plan was far superior I think). There I thought KT is plaing it too smart.
Game 3 : A bit of scrappy ZvZ, but that match up is so tense, it's perfect for a final. Hoejja is a hero.
Game 4 : WTF action, but very good overall execution from Sun (except for a few lost sairs... not Bisu yet I thinb^^)
Game 5 : Flash is incredible at those early push, and Best is not the... best at defending them. Loved that game, those scans were perfect, and Flash' execution immaculate.
Game 6 : Very one sided, those sairs did too much and after that Stats kept playing well. Very entertaining overall.
Game 7 : I would have chosen Fantasy, maybe Bisu, but Best was not a bad choice.
But man, you've got to hand it to Flash.
Excellent scouting. Very good mind games, he made Best weary of heavy vulture harass and took his fourth behind expertly placed scouting mines.
After that he was in a good position, but Best could have won if Flash had not done such a perfect push. Always at the perfect distance from Best army, vutlures in front, clutch emps... You know envelopping that army like a good PvP player can do, like Best should have been doing.
A few multitask erros as usual (mines not cleared, slow reactions to zealots), but he brung so much to the table. Nothing less than I expected from him, and that means a lot.
Flash is the best starcraft player ever, no questions.

People need to stop hating on coach park. He literally got the most ideal match-ups, and can anyone really blame him for sending best out considering that he probably has the best chance against flash? If bisu or fanta were sent out and they lost, everyone would be going, "damn, he really should've sent best".

Ps: KT dynasty, first ever back-to-back winners :D

Congratulations KT fans. You have the best player in the world and the support cast did exactly as was needed when it was needed. You deserved to win.

Still emo about the result though T_T

just my 2 cents:

a expected sniper isn´t a sniper. everybody´s sayin´ that best had weeks to prepare a snipe, but all of us knew that it would be best to prepare the snipe.

it ain´t a trap if you know it´s a trap, and flash didn´t run blindly into it, he prepared himself and i would call it a double re-snipe.

everybody of us could have outsmarted coach cho.

Personally, I wasn't expecting Best at all. I thought it was 75% Bisu, 20% Fantasy, and 5% somebody else with a crazy abusive build that he had prepared for months just waiting for the chance to use it.

BeSt didn't have a crazy abusive build. They honestly expected him to win just by playing like his usual non-adaptive self with fast expos and 50 gateways.

They practiced over more than three weeks knowing what player they were up against, knowing what map it would be on, and that's the best thing they came up with? I just don't respect Coach Park very much anymore.

I'm thrilled we won and everything, but wtf kind of decision was that? They would've been much better served sending Bisu.

I was watching the whole thing from the very opening on the first minute and I ended up passing out at the very end ace match at around 7:30 AM only to wake up later in afternoon, watch the final match in that small vod thread (love that thread). Saw who was up, watched it half way, and just shut off the vod.. I just don't know what to say...

As a SKT fan, I had full confidence almost everyone in the team will perform the best, especially the SKT zerg but the most disappointing results were definitely the failure to have our SKT zerg perform when it really matters. I mean I can understand Flash owning and I can understand that SKT got a good chance but really now, out of all zergs we send out, how is it that none of them won?

The finals was exciting and good to watch up until set 3 when everything just went wrong. Fantasy and Bisu performed amazingly today and I was exciting about a 4-0 or 4-1 or even 4-2, as I did not expect 3-4 at all. Hell, I even thought Best sending out against Flash was the best choice they had (for both set 5 and ace).

The reason for our loss isn't BeSt losing to Flash, he pulled up a really good effort and fight. It was unfortunate that his first match against Flash, he wasn't able to do his usual macro strategy as Flash shut him down before that happened, and in the ace match, Flash was one step ahead. But for the SKT zergs, they had their ideal matchups that could have led to victory: s2, the zvz specialist, and soo whose strongest MU is ZvP. Sure, I understand Hoejja and Stats are good players and they played well, especially with the strategy they used who completely countered both of them, but I just didn't see any real spark from s2 and soo today.

What a disappointing finals for me, I'm sadden by our loss and that now we have to suffer another year from non SKT fans all over criticizing and telling us SKT fan shit and that but I guess I'll just have to endure another year. 2012 SKT Hwaiting!

Edit:

I was looking over the comments around and I read that most of the SKT fans who were there at the finals left when it was Best vs Flash. Utterly disgusting, my other reason why SKT lost, there wasn't any confidence and high morale from the fans on stage.

Still wondering why anyone thought Stats would lose to an SKT Zerg. Weeks of arguing the point finally validated!

That's one of my favorite things about the match. :D

For weeks, we had to hear about how Stats is overrated and the SKT zergs would mop up with him. He's more than just a solid player; he can be an excellent player. He might be inconsistent sometimes, but he showed great form against Woongjin and CJ such that I had a lot of confidence in him.

you mean all two of them?

--

i may have a t1 tag but i'm a bisu fan. this is my first year watching proleague start to finish and judging just by the quality of games i was disappointed. it sucks when you're lucky to get 1 top tier match a series; it sucks when the fantasys and bisus of the world are wasted v crazy hydra and perfective.

no big deal that t1 lost, just shows you how crappy the "strategizing" is when you put best over bisu. flash, bisu and jaedong are the best players in the world, the only S-class players left. why would you ever pick an A-class player over an S-class player? best's past record v flash is irrelevent: correlation does not imply causation. not to mention guess who's no. 1 in ELO?

once the MSL is wrapped up (come on bisu one time!) like zona i will pretty much give up bw. not because i don't enjoy following it, but because it's become an addiction. i'll scout out the 2-5 matchups a month that are truly great. im glad i got to learn A- and B-class players thoroughly and find out who all the boring players are (zergs) and make sure to follow the exciting up-and-comers (killer).

bw is weird because probably only 20 players have a 50%+ winning rate, and only about 5 players are actually consistent. the small sample sizes (even over 2 years you're gonna play, what, 80 televised games? 100 max?) lead to a lot of fluctuation, and when you toss in imba maps you're just asking to leave disappointed more times than not.

i'll keep up with and root for bisu, flash, hydra, jaedong, bogus, killer, neo.g_soulkey, horang2, stats.

Lol you caught me. When I first wrote my post, I wrote "the 3 zergs we send out" and then after I made the post, I realize it was only 2 after recalling each set lol. I just didn't want to completely edit out that paragraph and delete all the lines or rewrite them, too much work for me. So I improvised! :D

And it's still believe what I wrote too. At least one of the two zergs could have scored a win.

Guys, I'm dissapointed that this isn't at 400 pages yet
Hoejja was extremely clutch, and Stats shows that he can take out those SKT zergs, but thats only because it wasn't Hyuk
