Well deserved win for Ganzi really.

Maybe MKP can win Code A next season xD

he should win up down... i think he has a chance...


up and down is too stacked this season, don't think he's solid enough to make it out unless he gets a v. lucky draw..


I thought second place gets his pick of the Up/Down brackets, I think MKP will do just fine securing his Code S again. His hunger is back.


No that's old format.

New format = Winner to Code S.

remaining 7 of top 8 Code A + bottom 8 of Code S go into three 5 player groups, they play round robin matches and the top 2 go to Code S for the next season

Kyrix, MC, viOlet, Alicia, Byun, Trickster, SuperNova, Losira, Check, JYP, Yoda, JJajkji, Taeja, Leenock, MKP


6 + MLG Spot = 7 wheres the 8th Code S come from?


See where it says "Winner to Code S" =p

Excellent finals.

There were games of all sorts, with all sorts of composition clashes. Fast games, macro games, those insane games that don't fit in the normal molds.

I'm a little bummed that MKP didn't manage to pull it out, but Ganzi is a really amazing player. I was really impressed with both players that series, on so many points.

play to win, that was a killer instinct move by Ganzi don't deny it.



what am i denying? didn't i just say that ganzi turned the tide to win the finals?

you either misread or misunderstood my post...

Killer instinct means desperation all-in after horribly screwing up. Marineking screwed up even more by going around the map instead of straight to his base, i don't get why he did that. Also the oc sitting on the top without mining anything.It was very dissapointing and poor mkp still gets second T.T.


dude, i know what killer instinct means.

you're basically agreeing my post, so i don't see the problem? please re-read my post lol.

i'll repeat what i said again since you seem to miss it

"GanZI, in a desperate effort, all-in and brings everything and turns the tide to win the finals."



I think the reason that he's interpreting your post negatively isn't the part that you repeated, but the part after that: "ridiculous. MKP was so ahead." It gives your whole description of Ganzi's play a rather negative connotation. Of course, that might not have been what you intended, but that's just how things ended up looking.

Can anyone explain to me why Marineking chose to move back from the top lane instead of the shorter lane to his own base? He did that twice, so he probably has a reason to do it. I just don't understand the advantages of doing that, since you get back to your base slower, which means you can't defend your base in case of a counterattack like what we saw.

my guess is he didn't want to take tank fire from the high ground in ganzi's base


Ya this

If he would of taken the lower ally he would of been a rick of being shelled, he wanted to be super safe and took the top ally.

God ganzi had perfect timing there, i wonder if he knew the tanks took the top way or was just alling ether way.

You don't want to produce this weird scenario where ro32 code S'ers actually WANT to fall to code A so they can get dat prize money.

Ganzi is so deserving for this, always being behind in the shade of MMA and Ryung, and finally earning his code S spot the hard way, like a fucking boss.

Even if this season has been tough for Slayers in the teamleague, they managed to get a whole lot of players into code S, Ryung being still in the run for code S, and next season looks quite promising for them :D

I'm so happy :D

probably so, but that's exactly what happened.

but by no means i was dissing ganzi or else i wouldn't even admit that he won the finals lol.

and the killer instinct crap, that was off-topic lol.

Congratulations to both GanZI and MarineKing for putting on a great Code A Finals.

I hope this season's Code S Finals is as epic as Code A.

I think MKP is better than Kyrix, Violet, Alicia, Trickster, Supernova, Check, Yoda, jjajkji and leenock, and i wouldn't put it past him to take a game off any of the others. Ofcourse its far from a dead certainty but I think he has a good chance of making code S.

Yep. Start with a Code S finals blowout, finish with a Code A finals nailbiter. What's Mr. Chae's twitter?
