I took a short video at the end of game 6... the live atmosphere was pretty crazy. Very loud, very energetic. Can't get the full feeling of the excitement from the VODs.

The audio might be a little loud in this video.

:O lots of happy Koreans. I thought I was watching a big room of people watching a sports match, it felt like a living room.

Where are the VODS? Will they ever be uploaded?

I think Blizzard Cup was perfect. 10 VERY Good players, whom I all knew. Every match was a match I wanted to see, something that is very rare in tournaments. For me, as a medium skilled player, who do not spend that much time watching tournaments, this was the perfect ending of a good sc2 year. Please GomTV give us a new blizzard cup next year <3

Game 7 is the Starcraft 2 you've been waiting for. I really hope we see more games like these in 2012.

I'm still a bit down for DRG because I really wanted him to win. But MMA played very well so there is no shame in losing to him. Also after that come back and that game 7, DRG can walk anywhere with his chin well up in the air. GG!

Finally, I was wondering when this would get put up! I was beginning to think you guys had forgotten, haha. This was an absolutely epic series although I disagree with some of the ratings. For example, game 1 definitely deserves more than two stars. But alas, that is but merely my own opinion. Great writeup! It was a pleasure reading.

I have a question about the final game that is bugging me.
Someone please explain me why MMA didn't build Ghost Academy when he scanned The Greater Spire, or any time after that?
I think that a few ghost on high ground next to the tanks would be awesome, especially against infesters, but against brood lords, ultras as well.
Maybe I missed something or I just don't understand sc2.

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.

lol. You're right I didn't read it when it was published. I read it a few hours beforehand to check it for errors.

swing and a miss

It's almost 2012 and we're still doing Battle Reports?

MMAs style is much more finesse based, rather than brute force the way MVPs is. Like it or not, ghosts are actually super hearty unit that work best inner the front lines of the main army rather than dropping the peripheral bases to do damage (unless you're ryung). MMAs style relies on out multitasking his opponent and sniping bases and tech with drops.

What an amusingly ironic complaint coming from a person who chose a homage to the 1992 rap group, Wu-Tang Clan, as a online handle.
