whys the hype about cella? maybe bc hes much closer to the community than the random "omg best pro in korea" guys who being barely recognized by their screenname. the same reasoning could suit artosis and torch as well (and i dare to say even tlo maybe) as clearly none of them are the tourney favourites. picking on only one player like that for whatever reason its just not cool.

also as mentioned above player grades just biased as hell obv, would might be help if OP would just rate the player actual performance not use the grades to mark how much they being liked as individuals...

i agree that augustwerra vs spunky was by far the coolest match. it's funny, i was disappointed by every protoss in the tournament. i was quite impressed by the roach heavy play from the korean zergs(idra also played extremely well as usual but i didn't see anything i didn't expect out of him) and i was especially impressed by a lot of creative terran play (first time i can say i've enjoyed watching terran), but other than one or two clever uses of hallucination, i saw absolutely no interesting play out of the protoss players.

This is exactly what I was looking for. I haven't had internet in my apartment for the last week and a half, so I've been missing out on all the GSL matches. Now I know what VODs I need to catch up on

Yeah I'm not that much of a Cella or Torch fan but, that wasn't cool. Cella's hype was that he streamed on TL and managed to qualify. There really wasn't an "Oh my god he's the best zerg ever and is going to stomp everybody in his path." There wasn't a need for the dig about less celebrations and more awareness. That's what did it for me. :/

Actually, I've seen his fanboys put him over Idra in skill in his stream chatroom, so I don't think that's unfounded. He's definitely a potentially great player though, if he can work on fixing the holes in his play some more.

Nice writeup. Thanks for your work.

The recaps and game ratings are great for someone like me who couldn't watch all the games live.

The player ratings are a little bit too biased for my liking.

Posts like these are the best on TL. I don't have time to watch the games, so this is a great experience for me. The pictures really help, as well, so make sure there are a lot of those in future writeups.

Thanks! I just purchased the season pass & missed A LOT of matches because I go to school around the time they play the second set.

This will really help in picking out the matches I haven't yet watched.
