DRG is truly fantastic. He just lost momentum against MMA when he threw all his ground army on 10 tanks - the difference management in a ling/bling/muta vs. tank/marine/medivac battle was really shown there. After that, it was all about MMA's upgrades allowing him to take the economic lead. Can't wait to see DRG in Code A; really can't see him failing to make it there. | ||

Therefore, Moletrap and Doa going taking the same approach is not a bad thing, well at least for the status quo. | ||

wow wtf violet really dropped the ball. did he just not click the stargate? he lucked out with frozen not noticing the scout and he didn't drop an evo chamber right away? it seemed like violet's decision making was lagging 10 minutes behind when he actually needed it... late spores, late hydras, late nydus, late everything... wow | ||

Basically it was just a huge, huge failure of a game. | ||

SUCH a great series, and as always, GSTL did not disappoint a single bit. I am so fucking happy that they are making it a mainstay of the GSL. It has been their best product since the creation of GSL by a large margin for me, and it is the only ticket I buy. The code S finals may disappoint every single god damn time, but GSTL has been off the charts epic and nail biting, with ranges of emotions and has gotten me all wiggly in my chair way more than anything else in SC2 so far. I was rooting hardcore for boxer last season, and they made another insane run this year. Couldn't be happier for them. And for everyone upset that MVP got into the team league instead of IM before, this should be plenty of reason for why they made it instead. Not only did they make it to the finals, but they had one hell of a ride to get there, showing some amazing games, and featuring some great talent. DongRaeGu was only known as that top korean ladder zerg who was featured on Xeph's stream a few times, but now many more people know of him. The GSTL has the foundation of becoming something special, just like proleague is in broodwar. I am very excited for the future, and I thank GOM for for coming to their senses about the team aspect of starcraft. It is the most exciting thing to follow, and they have the perfect setup in place to make that happen. Cheers! | ||

Man MMA's hyperaggressive drop style really is so smart. It takes much more APM to deal with a drop then to perform the actual drop. MMA's drops in DRGs main weren't so effective after awhile, but he kept doing them just to distract DRG while he drops everywhere else at the same time. So smart and so well played. I can't believe this guy isn't in Code S. He is going to dominate MLG. | ||

All the build up was lost, and to them it was just 1 game, which on its own didn't come across as amazingly. You can't judge games on their own. You can't ignore the 3 hours + all the other context which led to that final point where everything was on the line. Perfect storytelling in this final. So good >_< | ||

I'm guessing it is... or maybe MVP of the finals, since they're unlikely to award the Mvp award to non finalist. Surprised that MMA got it because DRG was definitely the Mvp of the tournament. But I guess if you beat the "MVP", it kinda makes you the MVP. (Damn I hate MVP (the player) and MVP (the team) for naming themselves MVP) | ||

btw MVP, not the team, not the player. What is the MVP trophy? Most valueable player? Edit: When i think of it, it make sense it's the most valuebale player =P | ||
