Something should be said about game 3 and Genius' amazing trick on DRG. The late plus1 and 4th gas that got canceled to lead DRG into thinking it was a 3rd base build. One of the greatest plays i have ever seen.

You really need to watch more starcraft if that's the case.

So, another final that didn't really deliver. Although this was better than many, we actually had a really entertaining series, the mistakes were so many, especially from Genius' side. The proxy doublestargate-attack was one of the worst I've ever seen. He completely blacked out. The same goes for the 5th game. Suiciding so many Sentries into Queens of creep is just.. DRG attacking with like 6 queens and roaches but not realizing his queens were slower than the roaches was also a facepalm-moment right before.

I don't know. I just wish we could always get exciting and well-played finals..

On a second note, I had no troubles what so ever with the stream during any of the six games.

Aaaaah. Me non gusta! I felt Genius overcomplicated things while DRG just went for it. DRG has more tournament experience after all :/ Goodbye Liquibet rank. But great games, a definite must watch for every gsl fan.

Dear ibv.hefe,
Thank you for ignoring prominent policy announcements and not checking the anti-spoiler box in the lower left of the front page, then acting like it's TL's fault.
Regards,
Quixotic

WoW! Thanks DRG for amazing games, and for whiping out the toss hope! (Evil grin)

Time for a Terran winner next season for sure!

To be honest, the policy announcement was flooded down pretty quickly and was never given enough spotlight. TL should have posted the announcement with a banner on top like to do for emergency/significant breaking news. A thread just won't do it justice after years of it being how TL worked. That thread got buried in like a few days.

When Google changed their policy, they shoved the notice in your face.

Hm, what I saw was not that many people, allot of which were foreigners. I am concerned that SC2 has absolutely no growth in terms of viewership and interest from Korean fans, though I certainly hope that is not the case.

The future of esports may not lie within korea...but the international scene.

Thank you article for mentioning the strangeness of genius's play in the final game. Kill the zergling and make a third? Seemed okay....

Otherwise great series. Genius needs to remove the fear from his play and commit; show it next time Genius :D

Why the hell would someone come to TL between a match they want to watch happening and them actually watching it? This isn't an issue of someone ruining it for you as much as you doing something completely retarded.

If you were at work when a football game was on, would you turn on sport radio and complain they ruined the game for you?

I missed the finals too, overslept. Gz DRG.

Also the problem with having to actively choose to get result spoiled would ruin the whole idea to begin with: they want new people to get exited about SC2. If a newbie comes in and has to first discover that he can see the results, that spoils the whole idea to begin with. Not only do I totally understand what they did, I support it whole heartily as well. Definitively a step in the right direction!

Back on topic: I really enjoyed the finals. Was with a mate and we had a couple of beers while watching the series. While not the best games ever, they were still enjoyable. Genius, I was rooting for you! Why were you so indecisive? You could have destroyed DRG on the metropolis games if you just attacked!

Anyways, congrats DRG! You outplaed Genius in the end! GG

People are complaining about being spoiled? Really? Would you log in to ESPN.com the day after the Superbowl and not expect to have the winner plastered across the top?

Genius was a let down honestly. :\ His builds were all too similar and he biffed the one major surprise (proxy stargates). I was hoping we would finally see a different Protoss GSL champ outside of MC.

Thanks for a great writeup!
By the time the 5th game started, I was having some real difficulty staying awake until I heard 'Base Race!'
