It's like the shortest Finals recap ever.


i think it has to do with:

a) the finals are part of a bigger event
b) the semis were yesterday
c) its a ZvZ

there is only so much work you can do at one weekend, and with all the stuff going on in vegas this seems appropriate, considering ZvZ is not exactly the rarest or most popular matchup right now.

Wasn't there a huge head line about Hyun winning GSL a few hours ago? O_o

I was rooting for Hyun, he really would've won if he hadn't gotten too overconfident after killing sniper's fourth. Like in the finals between MC and Seed I thought the player who was weaker won due to the volatility of a mirror matchup. That's just my opinion, and Sniper did have some great infestor harass. But ZvZ shouldn't be determined by who makes the most infestors, which is what most of the games felt like to me. Gratz to Sniper ofc though, you could see how much it meant to him when he won.

Game 7 was such a nail-biter if you ask me. it was really back and forth, and there was a point where Hyun couldve won if he had just pushed but he didnt. Congrats to sniper.

ZvZ is rather volatile in the early game. When both players are on roach infestor tech its very positional. Sniper out played Hyun in that series in a variety of ways.

If you're talking about the Cloud Kingdom game, as soon as he took out the fourth, I said out loud, "don't go up the ramp." It lost him the game.

personally, this was one of the most boring ZvZ sets I've ever seen. They just amassed and deathballed into each other. Violet and Leenock ZvZ is the way it's meant to be seen and played.
