What the fuck are you talking about? How can you say Games 2 (and 1 to a lesser extent) of Losira Byun were not entertaining. Yes there were sloppy errors which led to losses, but they were very good. Also the first two Nestea HongUn games were rather good also.

The only reason it seems one sided was because the scores were 3-0. But a lot of the games today were close.

EDIT: And how the heck is changing the format going to change anything.

Ignore em pdd. There are some people who probably think the TSL finals were bad because it wasn't MC v Nestea.

IM is gonna have 5/9 GSL titles after this :D And they may have 3/6 of the GSL champions! Would be pretty cool if Losira won, I'm betting on him. Can't wait!

such a damn shame mc lost to hongun in the last round. i didnt watch the games but i do know that honguns play usually fails to impress me. especially after tastosis described his game agsint zenio as "two guys drowning in a pool and the winner is the one who managed to get out" it makes me sad that he somehow managed to take out the one player who could've kept this tournament interesting.

I just hope they somehow manage to make for epic finals.

HongUn played well in the Ro8 against MC. MC was very indecisive in what he was doing. HongUn was playing the meta game harder.

What we missed, though, was Nestea vs MC for a finals spot. That'd have been nutty.

No it's not. You give a week to prepare you get blowouts. It's no accident GSTL is so much better.

Not to mention BO1's at beginning at beginning get rid of late starters and adaptive players.

GSL is a terrible format.

So how are most of the Code S matches good matches (finals and this season's semis not counted)? Because players don't bother practicing for non-Ro4/finals games?

Funny how everyone is bitching so much about zerg right now and bringing up random players when the definitively better player won both matches.

Hey you solved the mystery! The better player wins! Not race

Nestea is probably packing some sexy ZvZ builds.

Some kind of fast lair into mass overseer.

That's a build that Idra lost to in one of thes GSLs cant remember.
4 overseers contaminated his hatcherys so he couldn't inject and he got rolled by mass roach.I forgot who it was against but I'm not really sure its a viable build.
