Soulkey really deserves a title after being at the top for so long :/ Whoever deserves it will win this finals. Sure, I think it'd be nice if Soulkey won something, but Sharp has made such huge strides in his game that him winning would be even cooler than Soulkey is. Granted, I realize a Terran won last KSL, but it comes down to whoever shows up and plays the game well.

Thanks for supporting the SCR scene and this new league in the first year! It's been great to see SCR back up in the limelight where it belongs with two major leagues now (ASL & KSL)! Hyped for the finals!  | ||

- Sharp 1 based and sent an early drone to E-Bay the nat - Soulkey 12pooled - Sharp 1-based the whole game and after a long, back-and-forth push, Soulkey bungled the surround (lot of bungled Lurker micro in this game in fact, otherwise Soulkey likely wins) and Sharp takes it Tasteless nailed Sharp's style well: aggressively attempt to throw the opponent off and follow it up with a strong push. Sharp wants to mix it up with tactics. He out-tacticed Soulkey. Not something you see often. | ||

Ebay to delay natural hatch, and then one-base terran. He did a really good job not losing units early on, so his army got prettt big towards the end despite staying on one base. Also didnt rush his final push, from every lurker engage to the final positioning of sieged tanks at the natural, sharp was very calm despite the clock ticking in SK's favor | ||

Wow, what a series. Sharp was definitely just outplayed but he fought tooth and nail and impressed the hell outta me. I'm looking forward to his play next season. | ||

Sharp played his heart out in the last game and still was not enough to topple Soulkey. I hope he keeps the desire to improve and comes back stronger. I love his style, kind of reminds of Fantasy. | ||

Final game was everything I wanted. I wish we got a few more of those ridiculously long games. Sharp was playing incredibly to claw as he did. Fun finals to watch. Felt almost like tastosis slightly underhyped it ;p Aaah Damnit I want more | ||

As a zerg, I'm happy SK won but I would have been even happier if Sharp had managed to pull of some magic. Hope to see more from Sharp! The game on Aztec was so good. | ||

But the last games was the best game. I was initially really impressed by SK's muta-ling holding off 5 rax, Then I was amazed how Sharp kept in the game from a clearly worse position for so long. GeeGee! | ||

I'm a happy Zerg player after SK taking the series and finally getting his deserved throphy! (and my LB going in). Still, I really have taken an interest in Sharp and his play. And also his off-air attitude, seems so friendly. And with his friends, breaking the 'steel board' With Soulkey on it in the pre-show. Awesome. GG's! | ||

He was floating 1000+minerals and/or 2000+ gas in the last 2 games. I understand the diffculty of trying what he did, but being on barely 2.5 mining bases that's not acceptable if you want to win. Also, in the game on FS he targeted the still morphing sunken, which was a misclick/bad decision I think. Had he targeted the already finished one he might've had a chance to bust, but then he also needed to micro his stuff a bit better.. Game on on CB was sad because the double drop could've turned the tide completely had he focus fired earlier. Of course I don't remember if he was defending other more crucial stuff back home then. He was just under constant pressure it was insane.. I never felt like Soulkey was being in trouble there despite him knocking on his door a few times. | ||
