I've kept hearing things from Nerchio, it is so cool to see him in a finals. I hope he wins despite White Ra being an obvious favourite.

I think Nerchio take this, White-Ra is a abusive player and Nerchio is great at read games, taking Idra out is proof of that.

Another factor for Nerchio is this is online and nerves won't be as big issue.

As also Nerchio is commonly known to forget the gg before he leave games, This final is match between Good and Evil, White and Black.

This will be a great final of series that haven't had enough hype at least not in Europe.

i was hoping for some hype on the BM. mana managed to make both badboy zerg rage (idra and nerchio). that should be a great achievement in itself

Wow Nerchio beat Ret and Idra 3-0? He must know a thing or two about zvz, as volatile as the matchup can be those are some impressive showings.

Nerchio has had godly ZvZ, It's because of him Morrow plays TvZ instead of ZvZ. Best ZvZ outside Korea. Didn't expect Idra or Ret to win.

The world would learn a lot about ZvZ if Dimaga, Nerchio, and NesTea played a million ZvZ's with each other.

Nerchio has blown me away in this tourney. Win or lose the finals, I won't forget how well he played.

White-ra forever!!
Glad to see Nerchio climb out of the eu mini-tournies and show his skills here though. Ive been seeing his name alot in the medal round-ups. Thats said I only want him to take 2nd.

I've troubles imagining Whitera taking a series against Nerchio atm. It has to do with Ra himself, he's a slightly worse Ra than in the beginning of the year (not to mention 2010) while Nerchio is ever growing as a player and as a zerg.

That said I'm on his side as always

You mean "won't be any different" or "will be no different", right?

Not enough hype around the IPL, this finals gonna be sick.

Great writeup! I hope WhiteRa wins, has won anything as huge as IPL before, and he's been playing for so long soz. Nerchio looks really strong though, so if WhiteRa wins it'll probably be 3-2.

very cool. Though I was hoping for more of a preview for the finals. Predictions maybe?

I'll be rooting for Nerchio tonight. His play has impressed me throughout the IPL. Does anyone know if theyre keeping the same format from IPL 1 where the player from the winners bracket has to win less games? I thought that was lame.

Looking forward to reading some of the recaps. Thanks for the writeup guys!
