A double elimination format is fairer toward better players, but would require more games and leads to a less fair finals (since one player has such a huge advantage). More group stages will also ensure that more well-rounded players advance, but if it's the same amount of games, it also lessens the importance of preparation (which may also be a good thing). As a side note: I also think the GSL group stage format is ridiculous...at least copy the MSL format. | ||

You take one match as an example of Nada's TvZ, but you don't know that nada won against zenio this season, went 2:3 against July Zerg 2 seasons ago, all of which are CODE S players who have made it miles further then haypro. | ||

I only want a close epic finals if you have two equally matched players, but with Inca in, all I could hope for was that the better player doesn't have to give up any games to a far worse player. Yeah this is exactly how i feel. Its rewarding in itself to see the better player win. | ||

InCa just played like shit, don't try to read into this series too much July played just as bad.. and MC also had nexus's behind his 4gates, so it was the exact same as Nestea's build. You can't call 4gate an all-in if you dont call this roach/ling an all-in. Cant have your cake and eat it too. | ||

The mvp vs mkp was also just as one sided as this one. Only difference is that the majority was cheering for mkp that time and this time the majority was on the winners side. There wasn't any point in any of mkp's games where he stood a chance, mvp was always 1 step ahead. | ||

It is just a way to keep the zerg occupied while taking a much safer expo Except you have less defensive units than a 3gate expand. He did 0 fucking damage every game and NesTea just killed him, it didn't even require all-ins. DT expand is only good if you can kill some stuff before the DT die. | ||

LOL inca does not deserve that 20k, they should take the 20k away from the runner up if he loses 0-4 and give it to the champion, because lets face it you played terrible and dont deserve any money . Thats the first 4-0 finals im pretty sure lol. just goes to show how bad inca is. It's a tournament, and the format doesn't guarantee the best players get to the top. Get over it. He won his way to the finals fair and square. Don't pull that "he sucks" bullshit. Unless you're saying GOM has a rule where they can lie to their players and re-allocate prize money. If he was really so bad he wouldn't have beaten Nada or gotten to the finals... let alone get out of his group. | ||

But this finals was meh. I expected a macro-fest, with 200/200 zerg and protoss deathballs clashing every 5 minutes. Anyways, congrats to Nestea! For the Swarm! | ||
