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!

What the hell is it with GSL finals, I don't get it T_T


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.

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


Sometimes it does actually. Fantasy vs Stork last OSL was largely due to extensive time preparation. Were they only given one or two days to prepare, I doubt it would be so one sided.

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.


Have you seen nestea vs MVP matches? They're one-sided aswell.....

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.


It's easier than that: he blew it way before and snowballed.

Next season's GSL Final article.

Don't be so down, the finals have been pretty good despite the score

I didn't think games 2 and 3 were good games :\ at least we got one amazing game... so far

I think it's the losers bracket system which makes for good finals. Think of if Nestea could've made it back to the finals via losers bracket. Or MC, etc etc.

It has been a pretty unbeatable jinx tbh.

Yeah, but he did not have to face the players that MVP has faced, including NesTea.

I wonder if people still think Polt would've beat MVP in the finals

Polt is completely different from TOP. who knows if his special-designed timing would work ? who knows if his versatile bio style would catch mvp offguard ? TOP is really really solid but very predictable and methodology (boring in another words).You cant take down mvp without some elements of surprise. I would say Polt may take a set or two

Nestea's opponents were much easier, except for Losira. I say this as a raging nestea fan.

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.



Lolled at bolded part :D But otherwise yeah.
