Look at the polls. Game 5 might be the most recommended game of all time.
4v4 is a battle of who has the better computer.

I believe the last match of the Flash vs Snow series is still superior in terms of recommendation.

Absolutely a amazing feat by Mini, how can you throw that game so hard...


I just finally caught up and watched the 3rd place match, and truly this...

How can you not spare the 400 minerals to get a nexus at any point in that game. He already had the probes, when Tasteless was talking about him having to decide whether to builds a nexus or not... Why was that decision not made 10 minutes ago, when it would have cost him pretty much nothing.

And he threw so many units for free... When looking at this as a Hero fan, maybe it looks like some amazing game, but when looking at it from a protoss fan, after getting those island, it hardly looks like a C level game on ShieldBattery. Super disappointed in Mini, not cheering for him again, it feels like a one hit wonder after showing himself to crumble under pressure in both the semis and the third place match.

Awesome series. But yeah, Snow vs Flash was even better and was probably the best series post-Kespa.

The 3rd world is so funky that I have often hard time understanding who is ahead, especially in the match-ups I do not play. It did seem to me that Mini was ahead in game 5 but will need to rewatch it...

A bit off topic since I'm catching up on the VODs now, there seems to be a lot of Koreans in the live chat for the English VOD. Is that just because there's a lot of Koreans watching the English cast just to watch on Youtube or does Youtube something funky with their chat replay?

I just talked to Mini. He wanted me to tell you he is so sorry he let you down and he promise never to do it again. He will pray for your speedy recovery.

3rd place matches usually suck, no matter the type of competition (see: World Cup), but it was nice to see a couple of highly entertaining matches regardless.

Actually the 3rd places matches often are way better than the finals from entertaining point of view, players/teams just go there and enjoy the game, while everybody have their asses tight for the finals

It really depends. I think in soccer, 3rd place match in the World Cup usually suck... But in BW, often they are great! So I guess it depends on the competition.
