That was a lot of good text.

I truly hope that these finals are better than what we've been seeing in the past but I'm content with knowing the semis of every Code S have been spectacular.

As for your write up of Code A's finals this season. You're right! That definitely was the most intense and emotional BO7 I've ever seen and probably ever will. Well worth watching for anyone, even if they don't enjoy TvT.

TOP wins 4-0. Calling it now.
(Hey, someone has to say it, otherwise there'll be no-one to gloat if it does happen.)

Surprised the writeup mentioned LiveForever but managed to ignore Leenock. The real proof that he didn't live forever is that Leenock finally managed to make it back to Code S after he choked against LiveForever in the first Code S. Though LiveForever did live forever in that he never lost in the up/downs or had to play in Code A. That's more than every finalist other than Nestea can say. :-P

Also, macro terran should be a description reserved for true macro players like BitByBit not many-basing scrubs like TOP or MVP.

This exelent until you added that 1-1-1 is imba. :/

I don't want to read about winning! I want to read about GSL's past year and the evolution of the game play!!!

So, we've reviewed the past nine tournaments and looked at who everyone beat to get to the title. Who do you think, reader (who I hope is still reading after all that text), had the best road to the title? Who had the best GSL? Also, what tournament did you think was the best?


Although I cannot answer the first and third questions (Because I watch either my fave players, the semi's and finals), Nestea without a doubt had the best GSL run. Although he did not have a difficult road, he never lost - and nobody can say that.

Great read by the way, I'm hoping for an exciting, non 4-0 finals!

you can't forget that without him, a lot of people (and this maybe even include you, awesome reader), might not be on this site today.


If there was one reason it would be the quality of articles such as this one.

Shouldn't the Nestea GSL season 2 championship say 2 code S opponents and 1 code A opponent? These being Zenio and MC if you're talking about this season's code S or Zenio and MarineKing if you're talking about next season's code S.

Great write-up.

Great article. I don't really care who wins TBH, just as long as it's not another 4-0 -_-

I'm guessing the extra matches they threw in were to help extend the finals before the inevitable 4-0 or 4-1.

nas is the king of hip hop...

Anyhow, boring 4-1 finals where TOP gets break in game 3, when MVP plays without keyboard, mousepad, is blindfolded and while artosis is tickling him.
Siege is here
