Genius was noticeably upset after the defeat and sounded angry towards DRG in the post match interview. I couldn't quite catch it all, but I believe he said "I can't stand the sight of him right now" (in a very harsh way) after DRG made balance comments. It felt really awkward.. I don't care if you're on the same team, you win an incredibly high-stake series like the finals, either congratulate on games well played, handshake, hug, or do nothing. Furthermore, you absolutely do not add salt to the wound by implying, indirectly or not, that Genius's achievements were attributable to the state of the metagame, even if that's what you believe. | ||

Past GSLs and been flops for the most part but this was truly a series for the ages. In the ned solid decision making won out and DRG finally earned his plays as a titan on the world of SC2. Props to the write-up but there is one thing I have to say was neglected and it's how tight game 4 actually was. The explanation makes it sound like genius simply went carriers and lost when in fact that game came down not to the choice in carrier production, but in DRGs response to the heavy cannon/sentry block at Genius's ramp. No zerg player anticipates carriers off a double stargate phoenix/voidray opening but DRG, having absolutely no information to go on made a choice to research the overlord drops to bypass the defensive emplacement. Without that crucial piece of the puzzle Genius holds his ramp to the roach/hydra timing, the carriers are never exposed, and when they finally move out DRG has no answer to the death ball approaching him. To trivialize how close that match actually was is kind of sad when literally one tech choice let DRG roll over genius and take the game. When DRG initially scouted the ramp only 2 sentries were exposed making it seem like a more traditional warp gate tech switch. Genius hid a build that would have killed 100% of players who scouted and reacted normally. Even the mass of cannon emplacements wasn't initially scouted. Give credit to DRGs clever way to apply pressure which had it been a normal multi gate behind it, would have instantly lost him the game, or at best evened out on both army and economy. Great job to gom.tv and everyone involved for one hell of a great series. Here's hoping this is the first of many more to come and with luck, a protoss champion next season! Good post! I agree completely. I even suspect (although remotely) that someone from the team may have hinted at such a possibility to DRG, Drop Tech was the perfect answer to that build and almost to that build only. It killed one of the most daring and yet to be surprisingly effective build. We saw carriers made in a GSL finals for god's sake, respect to Genius, he earned mine for sure. PS: Don't forget the pre-match promises to team members, if DRG wins he will buy a Huge-ass TV and a game console to the teamhouse, while as to Genius just a meal treat. | ||

I think most people would agree that DRG needed this GSL win more than anybody in the world right now. He was constantly getting second places and never getting the recognition he deserved. The loss at MLG arena just one week before was a real blow to his spirit, Catz even mentioned this in his blog. Many still considered him overrated right up until that championship win. It was a win not just for himself, but to all the fans who've believed in him since the very beginning. I'm proud to be one of them. XD | ||

but it is sad to hear that genius believes that this was his last finals... but if he gets deep again in season 2, he may wait w/ military service. | ||
