Internet didn't go off. Battle.net went down for everyone at this exact moment I couldn't play a game w/o being disconnected. Still they should have lan mode and that couldnt have happened..

As happy as I am for Jinro and TL doing so well, the internet fail in the final is what this tournament will be remembered for.

Kinda sad how the internet going out is winning... I voted for four Liquids in top 8 but all the other stories are nice except the internet one.

Internet fail is consistent with blizzard's high quality Bnet development.

I voted for 4 TL in top 8.

unfortunately for Jinro I feel like his win is overshadowed slightly by the epic fail by Blizzard to not add LAN to their game ... I wonder how long before there is enough pressure on Blizzard add LAN.
I voted internet fail ... although I feel bad because Jinro played amazing.

Overall the Bnet fail definatly, since I expected Jinro to perform well, hence is high quality training in Korea.
Bnet Fail just needs to be on top, maybe a Blizzard employee sees it =/

Was a close call between Jinro and 4 liquid members in top 8. Had to pick 4 mebers in top 8, that is so freaking beastly!

I think we were mere minutes away from KeSPA officials busting into MLG during the finals and declaring Jaedong the winner.

Painuser's performance was incredible though. What was the loss? I thought he was 4-0 vs TL, did I miss a game?

The answer depends on the meaning of "biggest" in the question. Jinro's great run was really cool, PainUser's result didn't surprise me because I knew he's a damn good player, but in my opinion, the "big" story--the one that sets a precedent--is the internet outage. We knew something like that would happen someday, but I didn't think it would happen so soon. From what I read here from MLG_Lee, it was a problem with a backbone. IOW, no matter how extremely reliable Bnet is, how awesome your internet provider is, when a backbone breaks everybody's screwed. We almost got robbed of the finals of a big tournament, and that's scary.

That's what I'll remember from this tournament. Jinro will give us many more great games, we'll have even bigger upsets than IdrA's (e.g. Tester didn't even qualify for GSL3) but I don't think (or rather, I hope) that anything will beat the finals-that-almost-never-were.

I think Machine breaking his curse was a good story too. I voted for the 4 TL players in the top 8.

I wish there was an option for this! For me that was the best bit about Dallas for sure, he can finally get the recognition he deserves after being raped by the brackets two events in a row

Haha, that internet failure was perfect. That was like the 3rd time they had to restart that game if I recall? Plus, it happens way too often. I don't play too much SC2, but I think it's failed on my 3 times? I really would enjoy a LAN play option.
