Very solid Mech vZ in this game, not getting caught unsieged, leapfrogging effectively etc.
I really like her commitment to using mech vZ. I'm becoming a fan of her.

He's such a pretty guy.
But seriously, big upset I think, Colagirl looked so good yesterday while Aphrodite looked a bit shaky, barely making it through in the tiebreak. She's the only person I was familiar with before the tournament, though, so I've kinda been cheering for her, glad to see her make the finals :-) Go Korea! :-p

She's looked pretty good in most of the games I've seen from her macro and composition-wise, it's just that at times her decision making breaks down and she loses from positions she should have won from.
I expected Colagirl to win this but she just didn't seem to handle mech particularly well in the end.

Probably just nerve issues from playing her first event I think

I think we have actually seen Livinpink improve as the tournament progresses, so props to her.

Livinpink really isn't that knowledgeable at the game and stutters a lot, but she is trying her best, having fun, and is quite adorable. She has been enjoyable to listen to. If she continues casting and learns more, in a years time, I can see her being far and away the best female caster.

Damn, didn't think ColaGirl wouldn't make it to the finals.

I don't want to be bashing on anyone, but the stream is lagging and freezing a lot for me today, just as yesterday. You guys have the same problem?

Since day 1, lagging ALL the time. Guess their "fix" didn't help at all.
