Normally I would say White-Ra should be the favorite against Nerchio, but Nerchio has been on an absolute TEAR.

I've just got this feeling that Nerchio won't be stopped.

SCReddit invitational and Homestory Cup #2? He won both of those!

As the finish line for IPL2 is in sight, two competitors remain to battle for $5,000 and the title of IPL2 champion

Is first place not $15,000?

Unless you meant the difference between #1 and #2 being 5k.

Anyway, pretty awesome finals to a very well produced event, fun fun fun.

well whitera and nerchio faced in tb's 1st tourney but and nerchio took that series but dont think that can count cause if i remember correctly whitera went carrier in multiple games :D so my pick will still be nerchio cause hes just such a powerhouse and so mechanicly strong and with great micro it will really be a clash of styles so looking forward to this

Go papatoss!

Love Ra for this accessibility and his manner, even when he looses. He also stated in one of the MLG interviews that he is an environmentalist at heart and wants to pursue that type of work once his SC career is over.

Taking two Bo5s off White-ra is going to be incredibly difficult...

Nerchio has been looking pretty strong though, going to be some great games.

Nerchio fighting! Really great zerg with an already INCREDIBLE run through the losers bracket. I don't understand why everyone is so concerned about a players manners lol. As long as he's good I couldn't care less.

At first, I really didn't know who to root for: WHITE RA, the speshul tektiks manner master himself from Ukraine, or Nerchio, a fellow zerg, relatively unknown (least to me) that got knocked out in the FIRST ROUND and got to the grand finals.

But then:

Whitera's an environmentalist, too?! Jesus Christ, this guy's officially my favorite foreigner EVAH!

Either way, should be an AMAZING final.

White-Ra never EVER won a really major title. It's his time now. So i wish him best of luck.

Holy shit, i did not really pay attention to the IPL2 so far, but Nerchio's run is fucking impressive O_O

Somehow reminds me of that MLG run that Select did before losing in the finals (to Idra maybe dont remember), That said i like both guys and i play Terran so I wont make too much predictions.

Will definitely tune in for the finals :D
