Alright guys,

Let's have a good time tonight!!

Remember to leave all player/caster bashing, imbalance discussion, arguing, flaming, trolling, memes, etc. at the door.

Enjoy the finals!

I figure that getting to prepare extensively for a single opponent 'increases' the basic skill difference to begin with. Lopsided finals are more or less a result of the format.


I think players getting to choose their own groups might have something to do with it. Never seen another tournament format that produces such consistently lopsided finals, even with careful preparation.

They really need to change the pool play or bracket system so players play more games too many players getting through based on luck. At this rate we will never see a great finals :/

BW hasn't really suffered from that though, I'm guessing it has something to do with the elephant in the room.

that mass thor strat reminded me of the game against moonan at mlg where it looked like MVP was behind, but then all of a sudden marched into like 15 tanks with an army of thors and lost 0 of them.

P.S: If this ends up being another 4-0 with MVP crushing TOP, for next month's GSL Final at Blizzcon, my finals article will be just a gigantic picture of Tasteless face with "lol 4-0 cya next GSL" written under it. I'm warning you, GSL.

remember reading this somewhere hehe XD

Why are gsl finals always this one sided? MVP is playing absolutely sick


Maybe because one player has been dominating each season? :p


most of the time we have a really dominant top player playing against a very good player

MVP v TOP
Nestea v Losira
Nestea v Inca
MC v July
etc.

i would say there aren't many upset so far in the final. the better player at the time wins all the time so far.

Completely needless aggressive pushing by TOP. Why not just defend until 200/200?

What a stupid move...

Lol you don't seem to understand TvT at all. Taking position is very important, and since Mvp didn't have tank it was his chance to hold a good position


Taking position is one thing, but he was pushing at breackneck speed right into MVPs army, when MVP was still ahead in army count. Like, I get that he wanted a good position, but moving that fast is just reckless. It nearly lost him the series against Optimus, and it lost him the game now too.

Top I think is going to lose purely based off of mental state. losing three games like that is devestating.

Mr. Chae offers you 10 Million Dollars if Mvp wins 4:0, if he loses a set Gom gets your soul.

Ok, who else do you think would of been close to beating MVP this season? The only one I can think of -maybe- is Bomber...

It's also the random seeding that makes good players meet early on and only one of them can go on. I wonder if it would be a good idea to make it double elimination? If that were the case we'd probably have Nestea - MVP finals.

God damnit polt..


TIME TO TRY POLT'S ADVICE TOP!


A gaggle of marauders is the only way TOP can win four in a row.

Then he would become...
