I follow the odd SC2 tournament out of vague curiosity, but the best finals ever with games rated as 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5 stars seems pretty awful. Can anyone enlighten me as to how it justifies this title, when more than half of the games didn't even break a 2 star rating? In the first paragraph of the article: It's funny because only two the games were really back and forth, while five of the games were fairly one-sided. However, the greatness of a multi-game series is its ability to tell a story – when given the chance – over the course of many games, in a way that a single great match just can't compare. So with that, let's go through the series oh @wax typo: "only two of the games" | ||

It kinda makes me cringe how you obviously didnt even read the article yet you felt the need to get the first post, I presume as soon as you saw this you clicked on view and scrolled down and quickly type in the message. What is the actual point? Atleast read the damn article first, the reason for nobody commenting after you for a good 15 minutes is because everyone else actually took the time to read the article before they posted. Good article as well, liked the touch with the naniwa poster haha. | ||

For real guys who of you in the middle of 400 APM would bother to snipe Medvacs? Is easy to talk it was a mistake when you are watching and not playing, and for crist sake I at the moment even thought MMA was wasting his Medvacs, didn't noticed the tanks inside it. And in my opinion you totally misread the final battle of game 7, MMA was in fact barely holding DRG broodlords, and DRG was constantly reinforcing with lings, at one time MMA would break, but it was again another tank drop that made MMA snipe the last DRG mining base, and THAT is what made him GG. | ||

I cant believe this wasn't in the write up. It was such an epic move and he may not have won without it. I rewatched to see where the fuck they came from and I believe they were taken to the pocket expo by medivacs from the main when the big final pressure was beginning. There they waited for like 2 min and their time to strike. Gorgeous. Also there was another epic tank drop that happened earlier on top of infestors who were naked in the back of the zerg forces which also got me out of my seat. Great writeup but I guess theres just too much MMA greatness to remember it all. Also 5 stars is like 5 too few for game7 imo, sickest nerd chills and nonstop shiteating grin on my face for 20 straight minutes. Only game Ive ever seen(no broodwar experience at all) that comes even close was Losira / MMa from Columbus I believe it was. Man Esports is getting to be like watching football for me (only a handful of games all year were as exciting), complete w/ fistpumping, yelling, that lovely sick feeling in your stomach when shit comes down to the wire, and raucous cheering to celebrate the victor. If only it had been at a barcraft... MMA! MMA!! MMA!!! MMA!!!!!!!!! | ||

My only criticism is that you made the Siege Tank drop in the second game out to be a mistake by DRG. While he surely could have reacted better (perhaps I see the maneuver through optimistic eyes), I think that in the heat of the moment, the move was actually a fantastic decision and a great bit of micro and thinking-on-his-feet done by MMA that should not be discounted. It is interesting that the games (excluding the seventh) were all so poorly rated, yet the finals ended up being spectacular overall. The context was everything, and the final game was the best I have ever seen, except perhaps from Brood War with Stork vs. GGPlay (the hour and a half long one - LINK for anyone interested). Personally, I am very pleased to have bought a year-long premium ticket to the GSL, and hopefully this series will foreshadow more great ones to come! Thanks again for the great write-up! | ||
