I for one do NOT want a Genius vs DongRaeGu finals...because I want DongRaeGu to win XD (I feel Genius just knows him too well and will destroy him easily)

Regardless, I'd be happy if any of these guys won. Rooting for DongRaeGu or Genius, but I don't want a finals between them XD

Careful before claiming a player is the world's best Protoss. Genius is definitely a top Protoss player, but we need consistency and multiple good showings before we can call a player the best of their race.


The weird thing is Genius *the* most "consistently not bad" Protoss. He's just never been consistently good.

Great write up but surely you can do better with the ratings of the games. Judging from your ratings Waxangel I can't see a man who is ever thrilled by a game of starcraft. It is so much tension in the games, and that (at least for me) is also a big part of the entertainment value. It doesn't need to be strategies which get carried out to the letter to score above a rating of 3, at least not in my book

Protoss seems kind of hopeless against excellent Zerg such as Dongraegu and Stephano.
Once your gates/2 stargates/DT push are blocked, you're behind.
And if you don't do anything and try to safely take a third, you're behind as well.

Stephano himself believes that, given the current metagame, PvZ is a joke.
All eyes are on Genius now.
Hope he will find something which doesn't rely on the Zerg messing up his control or not anticipating a
timing push...

A sad day for my liquibets. I was so sure either MC or Parting would win. I wouldn't mind DRG taking the championship this time, but I'm still not much of a Genius fan.

Genius says 'You're wrong'.

The part I hate most is that if crossfire is in the map pool then Protoss are one game down. I don't think I've seen P win a PvZ on crossfire.

Now that MMA is out, I think DRG can take this. I'd rather see a ZvT finals but teammates against eachother is very interesting as well.

Could someone please explain to me why Crossfire is in the GSL?

It has got to be one of the worst maps I've ever seen, in its history it has either favored Protoss when deathballs were popular, or was Terran dominated in PvZ, and now it is the anti protoss map with 1-1-1 and muta play dominating

It has never produced balanced games, even when Nestea and SC duked it out, it was just everyone wondering how Nestea could win on such a Terran favored map.

I'm very curious as to the opinion of someone who actually knows what they are talking about as to why Crossfire is not removed as an imba map.... It doesn't seem to be balanced at all....

i really hope DRG wins the title, imho the most deserving player. In a season where Zerg does not well he stomps every opponent, no matter if T, P or Z.

And I hope the two Terrans get knocked out in ro4, imho they are 'nothing special'. Of course they are great players, but imo just another random Korean Terran.

Gogo PvZ final (and gogo same result as the last PvZ final :D)

DRG actually said he has huge difficulties fighting protoss and he asked helped from Nestea, but Nestea was facing the same problem as well....

To be fair, Parting was up against DongRaeGu, ZvT extraordinare, but equally cunning in ZvP. I didn't expect Parting to win, but man was this a total blow out. Parting put up a good fight in all 3 games, but no cigars in any of em
