Should have done a bo5 just to see more games. IdrA definitely out played SeLeCT for sure. Really didnt agree with SeLeCT's unit comp in that final match either. Thors would have stopped the mutas with no problem. Also Blue Flame Helions are really effective when combined with Thors, and would have saved him the gas to produce more Thors.

What an awful final. Two quick games and it's over.. Really shows the weakness of the double elimination bracket. :/

I have to agree. When a player gets to the grand final from losers bracket he should be on equal footing with the other guy.

This final should have been a straight up BO5 or BO7.

Idra already had a humongous advantage from being rested.

You could definitely tell that select was getting tired in that series. He moved out way too soon, imo. He had no marauders to shield his marines. If he had waited another 3-4 production cycles and leapfrogged tanks to towers, he would have done much better. He clearly just rushed it due to being tired.

I like the part where SeleCT started the game with an excuse for why he sucks against Zerg players.

Extremely unfair how he made second place with playing like that. Ranked 3 places higher than he should have, nice luck having all the protoss in the loser's bracket.

It's like IdrA was saying "Ok Select, you played so many games today, you might be exhausted. So i'll end this very quickly. Never mind, just sit back and relax and prepare yourself to go to bed in about 10 mins."

How did he not see banelings coming? I know it was obvious to us because we were watching with hackervision, but come on man. You were getting almost exclusively marines.
