Does anyone know if there's a pregame ceremony or something and when the actual games start? I'm just curious because if the game's start at 3 am EST, then I won't go to sleep first, but if they start at 5 am, then I'll be able to get some sleep.

* The broadcast will start at 5pm KST with the Finals Pre-show. The 30minute Pre-show will be in Korean only but the Finals, starting at 5:30pm KST, will be in English.

lol, this writeup is so extremely biased that i am beginning to doubt in teamliquids frontpage article authors. Rain riding his cheese-momentum and being a proud all-inner? Rain is the guy who apoligized to the audience for cheesing! MC making a dominant run? MC's games never reached the 10 minute mark!

ofc you love MC because you are basically teammates, but a bit more subjectivity would be great.

also whats with the korean links? is that a practical joke? wtf are these for?

I fully support a Protoss champion, OGS/Liquid, and Jinro's right as an awesome guy for his conquerer to win the whole thing; in short, I support ogsMC.

However, I'm quite sure people shouldn't at all count out TSL_Rain, and either way I'm hoping for some awesome games.

GO!

Great write up! Really appreciate the effort! I think we all need to remember that a lot of people were saying Foxer would go down 4-0 or 4-1 before the finals last season and he managed to push it to 4-3!

I would love MC to win but i sure as hell hope it is more exciting than a 4-0 roflstomp!

Go go Liquid/oGs HWAITING!

not to stir up a debate, but seeing as how Iron was B level at best in the BW proscene and is entering the finals makes me wonder what it would be like if people like flash and jaedong moved over if anyone would stand a chance? Actually- July, Boxer, and Nada have all made the change too and haven't all had such results, so I guess it's safe to say that the results wouldn't go across the board - however i still think flash/dong would dominate.. just speculation though

One thing that is interesting about that, imo, is that Flash and JD dominate in part because of their mechanics. Considering that without mechanics, these older players are probably very close to the top players of this generation, and that SC2 is much less focused on mechanics, I honestly don't think that Flash and JD would dominate nearly as much in SC2.

Warning: You're going to have a lot of pissed off people here in like 10 hours because the Banner says it's at 19:00 KST, when GOMTV and the calendar says 17:00, meaning a bunch of people might tune in 2 hours late now.

I get the feeling this is going to be a LOOOOOOOOOOT closer than everyone thinks... and I'm really not sure who's going to win. But I certainly hope it's MC!

Are you being serious?

MC's games didn't reach the 10 minute mark because he fucking DESTROYED his opponents. How is that not domination?

It's as if the fat lady has already sung with these predictions. A 4-0 prediction is just ridiculous... it won't happen. MC may take it, but not without Rain taking 2 or 3 games from him. I personally think Rain will win 4-2 or 4-3. He has undoubtedly played Tester 1000+ times in the past week and the fact that he has a practice partner of that quality is being ignorantly overlooked by most of these misleading predictions.
