Hmm... Sure, the games sucked, but I for one hope something good is gonna come from all this. In fact, I hope this isn't the last time we see greedy builds lose to early offense. I hope progamers continue to cheese each other to the point where people will learn to fucking scout properly before they decide to go 14cc/nex and not make anything other than probes for the first 5 minutes.

The builds people use nowadays are ridiculous. You only have to look at the map positions in which people opted for greedy builds today. Call it "calculated risk" all you want, but if you can't be bothered to send a fucking scout before deciding your opening, then heck, you deserve to get eliminated by strats any non-pro can perform.

I seriously want to stab all these stupid kids who call basically anything cheese in the face.

Also, I fully endorse cheesing every now and then. Mixing it up keeps everything more interesting and your opponents more honest.

A champion knows that the best build in practice isn't always the best build in the final game of a series. I like these results, they make the game more interesting.

Never_V_ is like Batman: he can take down anyone with enough prep-time. He's shown again and again that he is one of the most dangerous Terrans to face in a BoX.

I loved these games.

There is nothing more boring than a BO3 consisting of 3 Macrogames.

Mix it up, be aggressive, be entertaining. 14 cc/nex whatever is something that should be punished way more often. . 14 cc/nex is a risk and you don't want to go for that risk in the deciding game, it's just retarded.

Nonetheless... I'm sad for Flash... Not because he lost to *cheese*, just because he was so dominant before this and now it does not pay off in the least

. I don't even like Flash... In fact there is about no Terran i like (Hwasin/ForGG are "ok" but Flash is just to big of a genius to hate him... I have to accept that but thats about it for my Terran love :p)..

Today just the *smarter* players won and thats how it should be. 14cc/nex is NEVER smart. It's just a lottery... Doing it on 2 player maps is not *not* smart, it's plain retarded and you should get kicked in the balls for doing it.

An MSL one loss away from having zero of the four kings in the Ro8. I didn't realize I was watching OSC. I guess all that's left to do is cheer for a Nada-Savior rematch in the finals.

I hate 14cc.

Anyways, this series was kind of bleh. Hoping to see some epic matches later on in the MSL~

Wow... Flash and Hwasin both out? That's god damn sickening considering how they both are playing. What's worse is that Luxury makes it into TWO leagues and Flash makes it into ZERO. Wow... worst outcomes ever.

Yay Savior on the BO win though?
