Either you really overestimate the ability of master league players, or really underrate pros. Most pros with an even barely-practiced off-race should 3-0 or at least 3-1 a master league player

It was the blizzcon finals and soO had just defeated Zest to join Jaedong, who had managed to reverse-sweep MC in one of the most stunning series of the year, in the battle of the kongs. The crowd was roaring as Jaedong took the stage, and clapping politely as soO joined him. Incontrol talked about how one of these players was about to secure his first huge tournament win, but it was far from sure which one. The LR thread was still talking about Jaedong vs MC as well as The_Templar's upcoming move to Russia and forum icons, but a few people were screaming about the breaking of the kong curse. Jaedong and soO had both played aggressive styles throughout the tournament and the series was guaranteed to be explosive, one way or another.

After the first three games, Jaedong led 3-0, and soO was looking absolutely defeated. Three times, he had believed in a thing called roach, but Jaedong had managed to control swarm hosts amazingly well and defeat him easily in high-action games. Incontrol was beginning to doubt soO's chances of winning this series. Suddenly, there was a knock on soO's booth as Nestea, DRG, and Snute entered...

...

Later, soO was 30 supply down in game 4 with only zerglings and roaches against Jaedong's fearsome swarmhost/infestor/roach army. Jaedong decided to sit back and tech up to get a hive, and he made vipers and corrupters before starting a greater spire. Suddenly, soO rolled in with a massive baneling-only army from all sides, killing everything on the ground, while dropping the main with roaches and killing the spire, hive, spawning pool, and 12 drones. Jaedong lost that game. The zergs in the crowd cheered the loudest. Artosis became passionate for SC2 again. Nestea woke up from a light nap that he had found himself in and joined in the cheering.

soO looked revitalized and did early aggression and mutalisks in game 5, followed by swarm hosts of his own in game 6. However, even though he won both of these games, tying the score up at 3-3, game 6 was Swarmhost vs Swarmhost and had taken so long that game 7 of the blizzcon finals had to be postponed to "soon™". And thus, neither player won blizzcon.

Technically not a finals, but he's really keen on failing with one step remaining. This guy is definitely cursed.

Him getting rid of it on Blizzcon, though unlikely, would really feel fair. This guy deserves something big for not giving up after soooo many terrible disappointments !

And it's really unfair that he will be robbed of that by Jaedong >.>

You've got to admit that would be ridiculously hype though
