Nice games and just perfect commentary. But it would be even nicer if Day fixes his sound ^^

And although 3-0 is dominating, I would not call the games themselves rape. Nony surely had builds and tactics to hurt Draco, but today he lacked that "it" to take it home.

I didn't feel it was a rape at all. Nony had the chance to win in the first game very early on, but he got careless with his vessel and lost those two reavers. The second game he also had a huge advantage early and should have just killed the nexus and held choke. But he got excited and tried to end it quick. Oh well good games anyway.
Hmmm.....??

Wtf Nony fucking HAD the game won in game 2. Why the hell did he decide to go for the kill when he can just sit on the narrow choke and kill Draco's expansion? Omg. And that two reaver/shuttle micro mistake in game 1 cost Nony the game as well. Other than that, great games, great effort by both players. Very nice play from Draco.

This is just an idea for the mods but if the decision on who will commentate on the finals is still up in the air (which I don't know if it's already been decided, maybe it has) make the poll this last week before the finals be for who we want to commentate so the people who will be listening get to decide who they hear.

Hmm good idea. And the answer: Chill, Artosis, Day

I really like Vaul and Zannis is a cool guy too it seems, but for the finals players with more strategical insight are necessary I think.

i hate to be a detractor after such a high profile match, but i wasn't impressed by draco's play. both games one and two should have gone the other way. it was only two incredible strokes of luck that kept draco in the game past the ten minute mark.

in game one, the shuttle dying with both reavers inside was an enormous fluke, and it was virtually impossible for nony to recover afterward.

in game two, as has been stated, the game was over in all but the 'gg' after nony's dragoons and reavers destroyed draco's army.

it's hard to understand how anyone can be taken by draco's performance when he was rescued in games one and two by hugely improbable strokes of good fortune.

in about 75% of army encounters nony outhandled draco, and nony was also better prepared with build orders and timings for each map. after watching the tightness of nony's mechanics and strategies, and the relatively loose, generic protoss macro play by draco, i don't think the better player won this series.

i would be very surprised to see draco take even a game away from brat if the finals comes to that.

Totally incorrect analysis, in game two Draco's control was insanely better than Nony's, nothing to do with strokes of fortune or flukes, he killed 2 reavers with 1, shot Nony's shuttle several times, outstormed Nony horribly, was eons ahead of Nony such that even if Nony hadn't forgotten the storm for his storm drop it wouldn't have even mattered...Nony's style gets owned pretty hard by Draco's style.

Luck? More like bad play from Nony...don't see how its luck when u target a shuttle and kill it because the person doesn't micro it away in time. Its not like that was the only shuttle he lost during the series either. Nony simply showed he was the less experienced player. He had his chances especially in game 2 but blew it by not containing and later forgetting to research storm. Overall draco showed better micro, macro and decision making in all 3 games. Don't see how a 3-0 can be attributed to "luck" but whatever helps u sleep at night.

Draco was just over Nony's skill level, easily to be seen in all games.

Day, get a better mic please >.<

btw, draco totally outclassed nony. Nony should've played more conservative and gain advantage with map control, just like draco did in game 1. Game 2 was lololol as how he lost a bunch of goons to bad micro an possibly giving draco a chance to get back in the game. Game 3... no comments, it was great play by both but when nony fell behind it was almost impossible to make a comeback out of it

Once the game got going, Draco did outplay Nony in my opinion. However, I'm fairly confident that Nony had the game won when he killed Draco's army and moved into his nat. If Nony had just killed the nat nexus and camped the narrow choke he would have been up a base and up in supply. Then it would have been all kinds of downhill for Draco. Nony played greedy and went for the kill instead of solidifying his advantage and that cost him that win that he practically had in the bag.

I saw that mindset mistake constantly throughout the series. Nony got a little bit of an advantage and instead of solidifying it and widening the gap he went for the kill only to lose his advantage. Then it was just a matter of Draco surviving to let his superior macro kick in and win.

I think the series could have been much closer if Nony was a bit less greedy in his play.

NonY, throwing away "won" games over and over.

How often do people lose with an expo with reaver against an opponent trapped in their base without an expo??? Or 4 goon advantage IN YOUR OPPONENT'S BASE with more units coming and lose. Reminds me of the NonY vs Mondragon MOTC final game where it was NonY's game to lose. NonY should had been up 2-0, not behind 2. White-ra & Draco are good at maintaining advantages and finishing. NonY wins all the battle, but lose the war .

NonY has so much potential. From today's game, he shown he could be even better than Draco if he can fix his game where he don't throw away games & finish. NonY's strategies in Ro16, quarter & semi-final has been above his opponent even when he does lose.

Draco plays pvp like it was tvp by turtling harddddd, lol.
