Any reaction shots from Slayers house? Rachel?

Wonder if Boxer shed some tears, if there's any changes in Ryung's expression, or if they were even watching.

John did try to steal the spotlight when they wanted to interview MMA. MMA wasnt even interviewed that much.

It kind of reminds me of when the ex caddy of tiger woods did his whole interview thing after his new golf boss won.

who cares if the female commentator is pregnant (well i gratulate her for that but its not like she is leaving permanently)

john singlehandedly made the GSL finals 20% better with his speech

I really want to know the reaction of the BW players (JD, Fanta; etc) who were watching. They were probably all giggling and going like "man, easy money for us if we played". jk.

Koreans seems doesnt like John .... so weird

i remember when people (not koreans foreigners) didnt like john (mostly due to his lacking english.. which improved greatly btw) back in gsl open season 1 and 2. but he did the epic speech about nestea and everyone accepted him as a key figure in the sc2 scene

i believe that korean fans never heard that speech and probably dont know about johns reception in the foreign community

but still its pretty harsh to bash someone for such an epic speech.

I just woke up and looked forward to some thrilling VODS, but when checking facebook fast I was met with this fucker from Blizzard:
Congratulations to SlayerS_MMA on his stunning victory over IMMvp in the GSL October Final, live from BlizzCon! We'll see you again tomorrow for much more StarCraft II competition in the Battle.net Invitational.

I never saw the marine tank medivac 3/3 3/3 off of 4 base from quick double expand by Mvp that scares the hell out of me, and everyone else. The double carpal tunnel must have really hurt his gameplay and forced him to mech on almost every game. Mvp still had great banshee control when he wasn't suiciding them to marines though.

Great victory by MMA, but I feel that Mvp wasn't playing to his full potential, especially with the condition of his wrists. When Mvp gets his wrists fixed, I hope to see MMA and Mvp play each other again in the Code S finals in the next few seasons after, with MMA winning fair and square, and not due to extenuating circumstances regarding the other player. Great games overall though, probably the best finals in GSL history.

Also, fact: When MMA was playing Polt in the Super Tournament, I voted for MMA and saw the horrific 4-0. So this time I voted for Mvp. Another fact: John the Translator is damn awesome.

I don't think his wrists affected him in the game. With that amount of adrenaline pumping through your body, you won't really register wrist pain, and MVP did say he was in the best condition possible for the match.

It feels more like he didn't prepare and assumed he'd smash MMA after seeing MMA's previous games against Happy or something, whereas MMA went all out and probably practiced with Ryung until Ryung wanted to punch his face in. Especially seeing as how MVP went mech on DS, which isn't a very mech-friendly map at all. He tried to do a one-size-fits-all strategy, while MMA poured his soul into those games and really put a lot of thought into how he was going to play.

I'm not sure whether it was overconfidence (and lack of practice thereof), pressure from the huge crowd giving him the jitters, or his wrists, but even a big MMA fan like me can see that Mvp wasn't playing as well as he usually does in the macro games that DID happen. Mvp usually starts off with a quick CC either off of one rax, one gas or none of either (his trademark greedy econ style), holds early pushes, gets a quick econ lead that he uses to make marine tank medivacs with a few upgrades while building up more orbitals unless he goes full mech, then pushing forward and landing those orbitals in like 10 minutes into the game, securing his position with turrets and defensive forces while he pushes forward with his main army dealing a whole heap of damage due to insane unit control, all the while massing up more units and orbitals within his base. I never saw the marine tank medivac, I saw some poor banshee micro, and forgetfulness (turrets and ravens are kinda good, you know). Maybe he was just tilting, I don't know.

As for MMA, the fact that he managed to get Ryung (who is always envious and slightly condescending when it comes to MMA) to help him practice against top of the line mech Terran playstyles is pretty good. It just so happened to be what Mvp always went for in the games beside the third one.

Yeah I don't know, I'm just a little skeptical about Mvp's questionable decisions throughout the whole series. It just seemed like it was too easy for MMA this time.
