Hm kinda weird seeing so many people complaining. I wonder what was the expectations for this game by some people. Isn't this expected that it will be short games with 4gates a plenty.
I enjoyed the games, seems that some just wanted to hate them before it even started due to it being PvP (that said cant wait for 2 gates to return but people wont like that either). So pleased for Naniwa and pumped for the final Thorzain and naniwa have been the two most impressive players recently for me so really looking forward to this.

Husky + Day = more viewers
Also Sunday's have just consistently had more viewers than Saturdays.

PvP is unfortunately pretty terrible to watch, particularly in a longer series
Somewhat disappointing level of play across the semis as a whole, fingers crossed the finals are better though! ^^

+1 It's pretty embarrassing...
Yeah it's weird too.. None I know is nationalistic whatsoever, they just go with the flow. I think it's just because e-sports is becoming a 'real' sport, and this is how you act in the TV sofa watching a world cup soccer game. "FUCK YES WE'RE THE BEST IN THE WORLD" etc, after every game won. I wouldn't take any comments too seriously, even if it's getting quite annoying to see from both sides.

Naniwa had great timing and broke in exactly when he needed to, right before the immortal popped out. If anything, Hasu was outmicroing Naniwa.
The immortal was out before much happened, but he was focused down instantly and didn't even shoot at stalkers.
You are wrong. Naniwa engaged with about 4 extra zealots before the robo started producing anything. Naniwa was already up the ramp and had killed all of Hasu's zealots, and was right on top of the rest of his army by the time the immortal popped. The one time they had a straight micro clash on even builds, Hasu came out ahead.
Naniwa deserved his wins and he got them with superior decisionmaking, not through micro.

Ok, be sure to have fun watching TvT with that exciting tank placement, I mean everyone loves seeing players just gain positions, am I right?
or how about that ZvZ, aww yeah baneling micro so exciting!
PvP best mirror, I guess some people don't like seeing intense micro though.
Are you kidding me? PvP is the worst mirror.
The only reason it's the worst mirror match up is because the games are so short, otherwise they are sick.
Definitely. Mass blink stalker vs. mass blink stalker is probably the single most entertaining battle in the game, but it's so rare to see it because almost every game is over by the 6:30 mark, regardless of when someone gg's.
