Mc vs Thorzain was better games imo. Game 4 puts it over the top. The finals was epic because of what was on the line and how evenly matched they were, but the games themselves were mostly 2 base attacks (or 1 base), none as worthy as G4 MC Thorzain.

finals. which was also the best sc2 bo7 ever. period. Was on the edge of my seat the whole time.

Thorzain/MC was epic as well.

The only qualification is that nani probably should've taken a 3rd during his initial (overly prolonged) 2 colossus push, but otherwise very meticulous play by both throughout.

this really deserves to go to either MC vs Thorzain or Boxer vs Sen. The finals were intense and everything but the quality of games wasn't up there. Both players were too cautious, and at the end naniwa threw away game 7.

Boxer v Sen was the best TvZ I've seen this year, possibly ever except for Fruitdealer v oGsTop in the first GSL...oh that game on scrap station...

Too bad the GSL finals couldn't have been that epic.

Best series was MC vs Thorzain. But I thought the most intense was Thorzain vs Naniwa. I shed a tear when I was watching Thorzain's highlight real before the finals (mostly because I was yawning from just waking up) the crazyily strong route thorzain had to take to the finals, I don't think he could've had a harder route, but i think the path he had to take also made him that much stronger of a player.

Honorable mentions : sen vs boxer, their nasl matchup bo3 was really intense as well. possible rivalry? the Emperor vs the Lord of the Lings

Thorzain vs MC was a sick series. Both showcased their skill and provided a close, entertaining match. The game on Tal'Darim Altar was among the best games of the tournament.

I couldn't agree more, i've been saying that Mc set a new standard for PvT by not going colossus, and doing a heavy gateway immortal mix, and using templars very very well.

Oh, other matches happened? It must have flown my mind what with the absolute EPICNESS of the finals match!

BO1 for more than $10, and worth it, too!
