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.

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.

Hmm...sounds like a terribly disappointing finals. Just basing it off the recap doesn't seem like either player proved that PvP was all about skill considering the trickery that Seed employed.

Deserved champion. Solid through Ro32 and Ro16, upsetting great players such as Curious, TaeJa, SymboL, Byun (both with amazing comebacks) and, of course, steamrolling MC.

Great decision-making and overall smart as hell. Besides being the complete opposite of a choker.

I really liked this guy since the groups selection. Probably the only protoss player I like, even though I don't find P matches enjoyable at all.

P.S: To everyone saying he'll be sort of a 'ghost champion' like Polt and Jjakji... they still are pretty solid players, doing well in team leagues, GSL and other tournaments, being able to take games and matches from the top players. They may not be MVP-Nestea-MC-DRG-MMA tier, but they're the players below those and the 'flavor of the month' tier ones (PartinG, Squirtle, SymboL, etc).
