great zvt finals, like the zvt "final" (Z)NesTea vs. (T)sC
It's all about the journey, not the outcome.

So happy for MMA. What an epic finals.

Great write up

Nice write-up. A final play-off 32 man tournament knock-out sounds more fun to end the year! Top 24 GSL players by points, then top placing foreigners in MLG, Dreamhack, IEM, IPL, etc. get invited!

A sweaty and tense DRG is the best kind of DRG

Great write up like always. Hopefully TL doesn't cut writers like MLG did, that'd be freakin awful.

Well written, and I think the criticism of Blizzard Cup was quite necessary.

Nice summary of the games and understandable critique at the end there... overall great write-up! However, I thought the Blizzard Cup was fine. In terms of improvement... sure there could've been that. But not everything is perfect. The Blizzard Cup was awesome and if next year's is this awesome then I'd be satisfied. Perhaps the level of awesomeness that satisfies me isn't as high as everyone elses, but I guess that's better for me... since I'll be relatively happier compared to the complainers.

I didn't realize until I read this that there were only two close games, I guess I was too hyped.
Anyway nice write-up, good read.
But you're missing a star on game seven.

U should mentioned bout how epic MMA are with that tank drops in both Game2 and Game 7 instead of DRG mistake for not taking it down. I think these are the key move that win him the game,
Marine is Terran strongest unit but it might be Terran's biggest weakness. Bcos of Marine so OP, other Terran unit regrettably have to be weak..

Agreed. The article says that DRG "inexplicably" made a mistake - it was down more to MMA's brilliance than DRG's stupidity in my opinion. And I don't see how it was inexplicable at all - the thread was full of explanations.

It feels weird to see MMA no longer as the underdog but rather the juggernaut and hear about a player comeback to almost kill him rather him being the one to reverse things...

Ohh how things have changed.

At any rate, here's hoping to another year of GSL awesomeness!

Cheers!
