Gratz Seed Isnt so bad having a toss champ and not being MC for diversity you know

That said the finals were incredibly bleh imo
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

Classic anti-climactic gsl finals.
I'm happy for Seed even tho I was cheering for MC and feel bad for him.
But MC doesnt need any more validation imo.
BW pros training sc2 is like kiss making a dub step album.

With this PvP finals under the belt, I wonder if blizzard thinks something should be done about PvP since no one seems to enjoy watching it but it is out there.

Humm.. "No one seems to enjoy watching it (PvP & Mirror MUs)"

That's one hell of a statement lol. I certainly enjoy mirror MUs, especially PvP, and I don't even play protoss. While you might not like it, it's not a valid reason for blizzard to alter the game for your own little entertainement lol. PvP can be played in so many ways nowadays. In this series, we didn't get to see much, like phoenix builds, immortal / warp prism harass, etc. This series didn't really represent the match up really well IMO.

At least it's balanced! ^_^

Seeeeeeettle down, the general consensus is that the finals was boring and consisted two things: all-ins or colossi battles. You not playing Protoss is precisely why you enjoy mirror MUs, and the same reason that disqualifies you as anyone to talk about it. Why, at the top level of play, do you not see this matchup played in "so many ways?" Why do you think that is? Because it's not viable since nothing is safe. Any gold leaguer can muck around on the ladder with phoenix builds or DT expands, but they won't get you very far because they're not stable. You saying that this series didn't represent the matchup well is totally inaccurate; it summed up why PvP is the way it is: no Protoss defense can be consistently safe against Protoss offense.
Knowing is half the battle... the other half is lasers.

i think seed showcased enough in his previous matches. pvp is all about mindset and decision making and build order luck but most protoss should know how to play pvp already. 4 gate SAFE HEAVEN.

I think we all know that SK sabotaged MC in order to keep his contract affordable.

was the most terrible let down for a finals ever.

i dont begrudge him his championship, but it's just not the same as one fought over longer games.
with the win, the way he did it, he wont cement himself with the likes of nestea, mc MMA DRG or MVP. He's going to have to do it again to actually be considered as one of the better players in the world.


I think NesTea vs. Inca still gets the award for worst final ever. This at least had some interesting mind games.

Losira ?


Oh wow, that one was so bad I forgot that it even happened

Seed DID NOT outplay MC in absolutely no way. MCs only fault he prepared for these longer more entertaining games and Seed gave a shit about the entertaining element and that thousand of peoples were watching. Definatley not a good day for SC2 not a good day for E-Sports.

Well I play protoss and I enjoy mirror matchups. That said, my worst mu is PvP. (I'm in mid high masters). I think that there are ways to get into 2 base play fairly consistently, but neither player played very conservatively until the last game. All of the expand/techs we saw were really greedy in the first few. But it is past the day where expand = instant death.

HOTS has a really good chance to revolutionize this imo. Mothership core photon cannons, energize on a sentry for a lot of forcefields very quickly, and even energize for more chrono boost can change up the matchup and make defending significantly easier (for all matchups).

Sorry but I think the real fans care about high-level play, not some kind of fake nr15 bullshit. seed came to win, and he did. something tells me mc came to win too...if he didnt, well then, he deserved to lose.

That is just stupid. Seed did outplay MC. Because he chose tactics that work well against him. And if you did not see seed was going to macro game in the 2nd last game but MC all inned. And last game was also macro game WHICH SEED won convincingly with superior "colossus micro" if such thing does exist.

MC is good but please stop being idiot. Seed played really well and he deserved to win. He prepared well and MC did not well enough.

"Definatley not a good day for SC2 not a good day for E-Sports."

Well better than all those games going to late game where we will only see pointless laser wars.
If you mean the whole PvP finals i agree i dont want to see such thing anymore.

Seed knew he had to cheese to have a chance against MC. So he took his shot, MC was expecting that he would fight like a man. It turned out otherwise. I think that is the reason for his aggresiv tweet. He will have a different mindset next time when he faces Seed.


What exactly do you mean by fighting like a man? If it is macro games you are referring to, Seed took the win there.

Seed wins code S, PvP finals, 4-1 slaughter, people hate him. Squirtle loses code S, close 5-4 finals, people go apeshit.

How you win it apparently matters more than winning to TL.

The moment he won the game was the best one ever! He wanted to undo his headphones and thats when it hit him...he is the reigning GSL champion. Also hugging the coach, what a baller. Grats Seed.

One of the few, it appears, that actually enjoyed the series, quite happy since i called seed winning this before RO8. I'll admit pvp is not the most entertaining MU but for a PvP series it looked like the highest quality one can find. Congratulations to the champion, i really hope he maintains this exceptionally high level play and doesn't do a jjakji.
