MSL EASY .

calm has shown really really high level here . and BEAUTIFUL games .

jaedong vs yarnc was just RAPE
gomtv was just RAPE , it was tvt , and gomtv is lower than MSL or OSL or even WCG in korean hearts .

MSL FINAL was EPIC , its the beginning of the revolution of zvz . calm REALLY REALLY scare me for my jaedong <3 .

COME ON H12 > P5 ?

WCG is not far behind , i think we have to choose between MSL and WCG .

but MSL is more important , and the games calm showed was REALLY EPIC
the games between bisu and stork was as epic as the MSL games , but MSL was just more important stage , so MSL wins .
jaedong > flash in OSLs ; jaedong > flash in MSLs ; jaedong > flash in WCGs ; jaedong > flash in proleagues . what else ? NESPRESSO ( old quote =( )

How were the WCG Finals the best finals? I mean, the games were exciting, but it didn't mean anything more than a Bisu vs Stork match in the Proleague. I'm not saying they're not amazing Protoss, but it didn't matter who won or lost so how was it the best finals?

I voted MSL, because the games were interesting and Calm deserved the win.
Jaedong's OSL Golden Mouse would have been #1 if he didn't rape Yellow so hard.

People bash the MSL this season because they don't actually follow SC as an e-sport and really just care about single, big-name players. If you don't know who Calm is and why he's important, and don't care about the quality of games, well... you're a large percentage of the people taking this poll.

I don't know anyone who really cares about SC and not just 1 big-name player than found this MSL boring or unimportant (except for one friend who hates ZvZ, so he didn't even watch Calm vs. Jaedong). This was a far more significant tournament than the OSL and may actually signal a changing of the landscape at the top, unlike virtually all of the other tourneys played.

On top of all that, Calm demonstrated a new style of Zerg play this tournament that is going to redefine the ZvZ meta, and people that skipped the tournament (or only watched JD play) probably missed this entirely. The way Calm shifts gears mid-match and treats intel/counter-intel in ZvZ is similar to Effort's experiments recently, but less risky and far more successful. Calm DECIMATED build-order odds this tournament, to the point where hundreds of JD fanboys were screaming "JD BO loss lame" in games where JD actually had what would normally be considered an insurmountable BO advantage. And he did it over, and over, and over. He was that far ahead of the curve.

This is one of the biggest shifts in a specific match that I've seen in years - only because ZvZ has literally not changed since... well, as long as I can remember until now. I can't wait to see where the quality of gameplay goes in light of this tournament.

bisu and stork rivalry + bisu and stork fans + some exciting protoss games after i forget how long + pvp prbly being the least hated mirror = wcg win

if jd had made it to wcg finals, wcg would prbly be in the lead with 95% of votes.

MSL finals had the least starpower but the best GAMES. Therefore, voted MSL.
Zero fighting.

I was actually more entertaned by Avalon because Kwanro is so fucking random he makes ZvZ exciting for us non Z players. Who has 5pooled in a ZvZ on the 1st set of a finals? Even if he lost it still was more fun than Bisu rapind strk Jaedong raping both of the Park brothers, and Hyuk all killing. Seriously though look at TLPD's most recent games, and you'll see ALL ZERG in the winners slot aside from the occasional non Zerg matches. I don't think Savior meant he alone woul destroy in '09 but the whole Zerg race would. Also why wasnt Blizzcon listed? Even if it was more ZvZ it was a final unless you mean KOREA ONLY finals, which ironically was what Blizzcon was from semi-finals onward.

I wish Proleague was on there, so I could vote without cringing at the thought of how bad all the games were... At least OSL finals Jaedong got the golden mouse... I think I'll vote for GOM finals because of Iris' play in game 1 at heartbreak ridge.

Without any bias, I think the best games were from the MSL. All the other finals were too one-sided.
