Decent games overall. There weren't any generic standard macro games (which can be really good). Like some of the players said before the season started, with fewer games there will probably be a lot more games with specific prepared strategies.

Oh man, despite taking a somewhat 'serious' interest in e-sports since the birth of SC2, before hand I watched a few BW VODS, and played some fastest possibles, but now my understanding has gotten alot higher, BW is just so amazing... I really hope SC2 gameplay eventually evolves to a somewhat similar level of play compared to BW, obviously not completely possible because of the user-friendly UI/Game in general.

BW FIGHTING!

I still feel like this BO5 format makes the matches end so quickly but I guess its for the better without ace matches.

Fuck this new no ace format screwed KT so much.

Jaedong would have won in the ace match anyway.

Yeah.. because Flash won all the games vs the dong last season ...

On a serious note : THAT GAME ... Jaedong... that was just ... insane.

Big thanks to Sayle btw at this point for rebroadcasting this at a (kind of) decent time for EU.

Damnit, first Mind's game in ages and it has to be against Jaedong.

But KT will be back. Last year's champions usually sucks first couples of matches.

Yeah I heard that Jaedong guy sucked. I mean, he's only 4-1 against Flash with a vT of 81.4% this year. No way a scrub like that would be able to beat Flash.

Because head to head records are great indication of results of future matches...as was perfectly shown by the wise choice of SKT coaching staff last year Grand Final ace match

At first i wasnt diggin the non ace matches but it's pretty cool seeing the teams with more depth be able to be competitive. Before it was always just flash win one game, then some other random guy has to win then flash gets to play in ace match so its gg
