Was kind of boring. I hate BLs, such a stupid unit design, but it's what you need to win. Life played better and deserves it .

I've not been this happy for a player ever, and the whole Royal Road thing makes it even sweeter. Mvp played great too, however - truly a beastly performance, as well.

That was one of the silliest Bo7s I've seen in a long time. It wasn't terrible like Inca vs Nestea, but it was so boring that MVP went 1 rax expo, then 2fact bf hellion into mech or 1/1/1 into mech every single game. Every game MVP lost was for the same reason, and every game he won he was able to kill a bunch of drones early. Was so hyped for this finals, pretty disappointed. I miss marines

Absolutely agree with these. MvP hardly showed any of the brilliant flexibility him and his race are known for. His defence was also so solid that it made Life's exciting lingbling composition useless, forcing him to go for 3 of the most boring units: Infestors, roaches and broodlords.

I will remember this finals for this: I started off wanting Life to win because of the Royal Road, his young age and for no more KongTale (my fave team). However, As the series progressed I began wanting MVP to win, just because of how retarded Infestor-broodlord is, both entertainment-wise and balance-wise.

Conclusion: Not a very entertaining finals due to the army compositions used by both sides. Happy for Life, but man, zerg's "win-composition" has to be the most boring yet. I hate broodlords so, so, so very much.

Only got to catch the first two games live, but they were both excellent. Sounds like both players played mostly standard throughout the series.

Really happy for Life.

I'm glad MVP Lost, I was bored to see all the "meh I feel so bad, neck and wrists, probably retire etc" while he was rolling over everyone :/

Congrats to Life and especially Mvp who played real great games in my opinion. I dunno why, but i kinda feel like Life did more mistakes and still won the series. At my level I definately can't say the game is imbalanced though I hope there is a new balance discussion coming up.

I hoped for MVP to win, well whatever. Although the matches were rather unimpressive congratulations to Life for accomplishing a royal run.

Gratz to life! Also, I feel bad for blizzard... not only are they tasked with balancing SC2 (not an easy task), but apparently they should be making units "exciting" as well.

Would brood lords be more exciting if they fired tank shells instead? Just make them a guardian? Or maybe if they spewed out my little ponies or something.

Seriously. I can totally understand wanting a balanced game, but to complain that a unit "isn't exciting enough" is pretty lame imo.

Thors are just a boring, only their attacks "explode" so people like them more for some reason?? bleh....

Awesome to see a 15 year old champ, again, congratz to Life!

That's amazingly insulting to both the players and the tourney itself. 7 game series went 4-3,

I'm flabergasted, like... what more do you people want?? lol

Broodlords don't only launch projectiles, they launch little 0 food, 0 cost units that dish out massive damage in numbers, get upgrades, restrict movement, and come in droves. Combined with infestors, who ALSO have an AOE spell for restricting movement, and what do you get? An army that you can't even micro against. Yipee. This promotes deathball vs deathball. It's not only not exciting, it's downright boring and retarded, also frustrating to fight against.

Just wait till life gets his hands on the swarm host. If he gets that combo he will be unstoppable.

Thanks for assuming I didn't know how the units function.

Also, I wish there was more "adapt and overcome" instead of "cry for balance".

This was a terrible final… We really see how zergs mindset is right now. No micro, no agressive play, just pure boring & passive defensive macro style into even more boring & passive broodlord infestors deathballs… And it works, even if you make more mistakes than your opponent. Thanks David Kim for your great work. I'm gonna watch older GSL games, they were a lot more entertaining back then, and more rewarding for the great players like the Mvp.

Hey don't diss the broodlords. They are a massive improvement over the Brood War guardian (this coming from somebody who prefers BW to SC2, by the way). I'd say the blame falls on the Infestor and its overpowered, gimmicky spells.
