Awesome writeup about code S, didn't like the code A one, though. Comes across whiny and biased.

great write up!
if mvp does lose, it will be a huge upset... and very sad to see him lose after having such a tough road to the finals.

I didn't want this read to end, it was so good! Really hope for TOP to win. Hope even more that GOM changes everything and fixes the number of T's in code S somehow. I want to see more zergs (Zerg > toss > terran in likeliness imo).

Oh my god, such a long one, and I enjoyed just about all of it. I really don't think that MVP can be taken by TOP but I will eat my words if it happens

While I would not pick TOP I think this series is actually really, really close. TOP is just so solid in terms of macro that I can't see MVP winning by more than a game or 2 (4-2 or 4-3).

Oh wait, Code S finals 4-0 inc

Haha loved this- great write-up.
MVP wanted to destroy FruitDealer too, but the GOM officials held him back when he tried to sneak into Code A to play him.

MBC/Liquid/TSM always.

It does suck that there are too many Terran but there is no way GOM can / should fix this. You can't just toss people out of Code S for playing Terran, that is ridiculous. What is the point of having people qualify for code S if they can just be tossed out because some people don't like watching their race.

I think the best idea would be to make Code S more volatile so when the meta game shifts back away from Terran supremecy it won't take a year to get all the mid level Terrans out of Code S. That, however, will bring its own set of problems. Parity may be "fair" but it generally lacks story lines and is harder to market (unless your the NFL).

Even though I think MVP will just rip a new one in Top, I hope Top can put up a good fight and entertain us with a good finals for a change.

Remember Top's expression as he won the semi's? He is going to explode if he wins the finals. Someone prepare an ambulance.

Great article, well done. So many storylines and drama GSL is the best tbh.

Basically, there's no such thing as a TvT build that makes no sense. If you saw someone go reaper-thor-viking, you could probably talk yourself into it. "Well, his opponent was probably going marine-banshee-medivac, because he was expecting marauder-tank, which was..."

Oh yeah I totally agree! Terran is an insanely fun race and diverse race, I gotta say that Blizzard did a great job. Now hopefully with the 2 expansions, the other mirrors will become as crazy as TvT

MVP has shown the best play anyone has ever seen. It will be a huge upset if TOP even manages to take a couple of games. I predict 4-1 in favor of MVP. Would like to see a great finals but sadly I don´t think it will happen. But then again I thought MMA was gonna beat Polt in the ST.....

Lol that was different, Proleague Finals in BW was prestigious as hell and only happened once a year so it was a huge deal (not to mention the immense amount of star power and history of KT/SKT).
GSL finals happens once a month, or once every two months at least.
It's like MLG Raleigh, hard to get hyped up for shit that just happened last month.

Amazing article, but... calling it for TOP was... iffy (by iffy I mean it's going to be 4-0 MVP+ Show Spoiler +
Unless of course it's 4-0 TOP, either way
I don't know why you would even resist it)
