This is going to be a close one... I have to root for Nestea well.. cuz its Nestea! But to be honest i believe Losira is the best zerg player who could go against Nestea in the finals. Hope they give us 7 interesting games that are longer than 15 minutes =D

This will be the truely greatest ever weekend of ESPORTS. Nestea vs Losair to end it all. Amazing write up loved the references. It would be truely great if they had a throne all ready for nestea but by any regards it should be the best GSL finals ever and it will cap off such an amazing weekend.

CMON NESTEA!!! I really think this is going to be an awesome finals. I don't expect another 4-0 finals.

I actually really like ZvZ unlike in BW I couldn't stand to watch a ZvZ. I really like how all the mirror matchups have evolved so well. I can't wait for this finals I really hope it will be a good one...for once.

Honestly hoping Losira wins, that way IM has 3 GSL champs.

Either way I won't mind as one of my favorite teams gets yet another GSL title.

It certainly will be an interesting final.

I think mirror match-ups can be problematic because only about a third of Starcraft II players can relate to them. If you don't play Zerg (I actually do), then the final could be a bit of a drag. I love z v z, but can't stand watching p v p (four gate much?).

As if you could kill time without injuring eternity.

Its funny how the first few pages are all people who didn't write anything about the hilarious wine-culture reference.. maybe because they all didn't actually read it and just wanted to post first, perhaps?

ZvZ and expert cuisine go well together o_O

I can't wait to satisfy my portion of Burnt Zergling.

I'm still debating whether to stay up or not, considering it might be a terrible finals (like always) and will make me tired for the 2nd day of MLG. But then again, it might go down in history as the first truly fantastic, nail-biting GSL finals series ever.

Woe is me.

Great write-up! I really hope this finals lives up to the promise that some of the other finals have had but failed to deliver on. I hope that the fact that it's ZvZ only adds tension to the openers and doesn't ruin the games.

WaxAngel, sooo funny! xD

Nestea 4-3? I doubt it, I feel it will be more like 4-1 and one where Losira 6 pools.

great write up.
If there is hope for zvz as an entertaining matchup, we shall certainly see it with these two players playing.

I don't know who to root for! They're both great players, they've both got personality...and they both play zerg. On the one hand, Losira is the underdog, but on the other hand, I want Nestea to get three titles. Too hard to decide.

I've always found ZvZ to be my favourite mirror match-up. I guess because it's the most fast paced in the early game and so crazy in the late game with whole armies being destroyed and rebuilt. Anyways, I am pumped for these finals! Nestea hwaiting!
