grats to slayers and cella lol. picked IM but alicia gave them such a head start taking out a lot of top guns. valiant effort by mvp but pulling that comeback off probably asking too much.
Seriously, probably the most amazing finals i've seen since i watch SC2. I was so pumped and on the edge of my chair throughout the whole thing. I am really glad for Boxer and it's nice to see new faces. MMA and Alicia <3
I cant believe it. I nearly cried as I watched MMA finally bring home the victory. I can't believe what I just saw, I can't believe what I just saw. Can you write a cinderella story better than this? A final against the previous champions, going through all 9 games, Slayers being the worst team in the last GSTL...
I have truly witnessed an E-Sports historical moment and the rise of The Legend Killer, MMA. He is Boxer's prodigy and the SC2 iloveoov.
Can't believe I got teary eyed watching all this. Thank you TL.net! I really appreciate how you understand that this is a great moment for us all.

Artosis...wtf man you predicted like everything.
What did he predict! I was not watching everything, Ipredicted Alicia coming out and destroying, and that SlayerS would win!
He was also guessing the players to come out for each team at around an 80% accuracy and if not the player the race. He said IMyoung-ha was there best bet of getting rid of Alicia and other predictions.
Wow, the reaction about this is great, I think I'm going to have to buy the season ticket to watch this, and I definitely will.
Also, I think teamleagues are more fun because there is much more strategy involved in picking a player versus someone else, I mean since the loser picks whos going to play in the first round, things can get dramatic and different, where you can play to the winner's weakness in order to win with the players you have, and since the winner does not have a ton of preparation against specifically that player for the most of time (as compared to GSL, people prepare for that guy and then matches turn out to be much more different)

Omg, I'm glad I'm not alone on this. I cried after watching this, something I thought would never happen in SC2. This is a testament to how much of a genius Boxer is. He takes a team everyone writes off and pulls it to the top. MMA is going to be the next jaedong of SC2, the guys performance under pressure...words can't describe how incredible he is.

Who knew we could write a Rocky story for SC2?
I feel the same way! I loved Brood War and it was hard for me to move onto the GSL. But this game has stolen my heart. I got teary eyed as it has been so long since I have seen Boxer winning a championship and he was so happy. Though mechanically BW is more taxing, MMA has shown me that SC2 is still indeed a game of great skill and strategy.
You are so right, he was under so much pressure ( I would not have been able to withstand it), and yet he pulls out one of the greatest TvTs I have ever seen.
Please, if you have friends tell them about this game and let them watch. I usually keep my SC2 side hidden from my friends but today I could not help it and posted a big fat picture of the SlayerS logo on my FB! If they ask I will tell!!!!
1:05 onwards. I'm not kidding, it fits especially when Ryung was rushing in and..
SUDDENLY, 5 BATTLECRUISERS!!
then ryung proceeded to run the hell out of his base and make any amount of vikings he could, but it was too late. oh god im still getting nerd chills from that.
