Not the best GSL finals, but well entertaining. Although I hoped DRG to win, i bet on Genius because he showed very smart strategies on his way to the finals. Even after loosing game 4 with carriers, i thought Genius will win with his better planned tactics for each map. I dunno what happend, but after the booth invasion from DRG, he was really shaky in his decision making in Game 5, micro mistakes, did not attack in time during the base race etc...
I guess the self doubt crawled in the back of his head after the failed carrier attempted, thinking "what an silly idea..."

On a side note, i think it's not the best sportsmanship to enter your opponents booth during a final series. But well, their friends from the same team and Genius already started with this BM after his 2:0 victory in RO32. Hoping that Gom will fix this, although it's entertaining for the viewer ^^

Congratz for my champion of the hearts - DRG! For showing amazing games this season and being the zerg's last hope after NesTea and Curious went down. For the swarm!

Are you trolling, or what? Because of course if should be on the front page, even in your face if possible. It was the finals, an epic event none would want to miss. And it is headline news in the eSports wordl, per se. So yes, it can be on the front page for it is one of the biggest highlights at the moment.

Edit: The poster above, LimitSEA, probably gave a better response to your post. Now I also know about the hide spoiler function, something I did not previously notice.


are you retarded or what? do you understand what a ''spoiler'' is? im not agreeing 100% with the OP, but your reply is flat out stupid.

man just stop. everyone is so sick of people whining on this site about spoilers it's completely out of hand. Just shut up and don't come to the site before you watch the games it's as simple as that doesn't take a nuclear physisist to understand the concept

Such a good finals, thanks for the write up. Sure not the best ever, and some people think any finals with mistakes makes for a bad finals (in which case I don't think we've seen a faultless final performance by two players yet...though Jjakji v Leenock was close).

You forgot to mention DRG's almost critical mistake in Game 5 of his queens being so far behind his roach army, however Genius's mistake was more critical.

Congratz to both DRG and Genius for putting on a show worthy of the absolute best players in the world. 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!

People who come to starcraft news sites not expecting to find any spoilers are just stupid beyond belief. Stop being naive and stupid. Or continue to do so and let us laugh at your stupidity.

A bit disappointing since I was rooting for Genius. Ah well, was a good series anyway.

And, well….he’s Jaedong. And because he’s Jaedong, he is probably pretty damn sick of 2nd places. And because he’s Jaedong, and he’s sick of 2nd places, he might just hit SSJ (Super Sayain Jaedong) level 2 and kill everybody. -Artosis

Honestly I'm annoyed about it too. I woke up at about 6am my time and went into TL to check whether the event was still running to see if I could catch the tail end, but instead I got spoiled immediately. The results shouldn't be posted in your face at the top of the page IMMEDIATELY after the event. Not everyone lives in a time zone where it is convenient or possible to watch the event live.

TL has always had a no spoiler (within a reasonable time) policy, so I'm confused as to why they suddenly decided to change -- getting spoiled was never a problem before as long as you didn't look at threads on the sidebars or click anywhere that would lead you to results. A warning that the unwritten policy would be changing would have been nice.
