Although I'm glad to see an article a day early (last year the preview came out like, 30 min before the finals started) I really feel like the bias fan sections should have been smaller. In general the bias on both sides is stuff I see in the forums everyday and while funny, can get old. Less fan hype and more coach predictions/interviews, staff predictions, pregame news, etc would have really been nice and actually hyped me more for the finals. I feel like the preview for the biggest broodwar event of the year should reflect just that, that this is the pinnacle of SCBW!

Anyways, that's just constructive criticism and I know it's hard work doing all this stuff/it's not like I'm doing anything to help. Thank you for the cool hype up article guys

BW writeups are always the best. KT will crush SKT and establish their own dynasty. Out with the old and in with the new.

Great post, but it makes me want KT to win even more, if only cause I love rooting for the underdogs

Sorry I couldn't pull through ;_;

I love you guys for filling in after I left. In fact, I'm kind of glad I stopped covering it because after I left the coverage turned truly great

So sexy artwork!

I love this and agree completely!

Ah Bisu. The Greatest player of Broodwar the world has ever known, and yet so unappreciated. His majesty in all matchups is unsurpassed, and as a result, he will be the cornerstone to the SKT victory which is already assured by simply having Bisu’s presence in the team. Since all of Bisu’s matchups are so solid he will almost 100% be the ace player as well as getting sent out on a map he doesn’t often play, perhaps even beltway, with the hopes of sniping Flash, who the KT coach will have to do everything in his power to hide from the might of the one and only Bisu.

SKT 4-1. FIGHTIIIIIING!

Nice to see all the bias-ness and ill-hearted feelings showing in the write-up. Really brings out the teamspirits : P

Had my mind wrapped around this finals for the whole week, and I still no idea which team to support. and my only beef is.... + Show Spoiler +

WHY ONE DAY!!@#!$@!$ SPL finals was much more epic oz vs skt. But that could be cause I'm biased as well

Great work guys!

The venue of grand finals is just 15 minutes walk away from where I used to live in Shanghai (but I can't make it this time t.t), which is much better than the small square near Oriental Pearl. It's part of of car-free zone in downtown Shanghai. I'm sure there will be a huge amount of esport fans showing up to support their teams. It will be a great show!

Bisu, the greatest player of all time, with an impressive 3 titles to Flash's 6, not having won any for 3 years.

Thank you so much for this extremely sexy and gorgeous writeup, holy crap it was worth reading all of it, I'm so looking forward to SKT1 and their inevitable victory over Rolster (why Woongjin why D

.
This is going to be an epic finals, glad there was some great writers to hype this up :D
Also, it's weird why they'd bring over Tossgirl and Jaedong. I can understand JD (kinda), but unless Tossgirl plays Reach, I feel like it wouldn't be worth it
