DENIED!!! And yet DRGs chances of winning this tournament just went up because I seriously doubt aLives TvZ is on MMAs level so... there is some good news in all this. Except it'll be a MC vs DRG final. Except they're on the same side of the brackets yes? It will be MC/DRG semifinal, if MC makes it past Genius. No. It's MC/Genius vs. Alive and Gumiho/Puzzle vs. Parting/DRG.
nothing would make me more happy than to see a Genius vs DRG finals
regardless of who wins, I win.

I wonder how Mr. Chae would feel if the semifinals were Genius vs. Alive and Gumiho vs. Parting.
How do you market an Alive vs. Gumiho finals?
Considering who they would have taken out to get there, I don't think it would be too bad. Imagine, Alive making finals with wins over MMA, MC and GuMiho making it with wins over MVP, Puzzle, DRG.
If we looked at last November finals, it was Jjajki vs Leenock and both did not have big GSL accomplishments before hand. Although Leenock did win MLG providence. But since a lot of the big names made the Ro8 (MMA, MC, DRG), it is not like any players got lucky and got all no names along the way.

Wut? You are saying mech>bio? Last game was standard macro game.

Honestly I'm just hoping that GSL avoids the worst case scenario... a PVP finals. They would have some filler content between games to stop the series from ending in less than an hour.

If this goes to game five Puzzle will win!

Alive simply outplayed MMA hardcore. Some really odd decision making by MMA this series.
Game One: reaper expand into 3 barracks, sees no command center building for Alive but then decides to move out his inferior army to the watch tower and got owned.
Game Two: He basically got lucky after getting his proxy factory scouted. If Alive played safe or watched his mini map, he would've won.
Game Three: Have BO win over his opponent but then dont have his army in place to kill a cloak banshee that he knew was coming. The oddest move yet was to move out with no siege instead of expanding, leaving his main base undefended from the banshee...
Game Four: Awesome defense on the proxy marauder rush, saw Alive taking double gas and makes an engineering bay. He then only places 1 turret at a very off location, a little bit away from his main. He didn't even bother to make a turret at his expansion....cutting corners. A-moved his scv into a hellion drop... went for this fast mass nuke, skimping his army but then never did anything with them. Alive just basically scanned him saw so little unit, moved out and killed him before even making while going up to 4 bases...
really disappointed in MMA.

Yeah, I sometimes laugh when he's ahead of even the players themselves, mousing over an addon with an overdue upgrade, following drops that don't get microed/defended properly, etc. His observing is one thing I'm consistently impressed by in GSL casts.

Terran throne still hotly contested. I know I might be in the minority here, but beating a player when he's sick doesn't really mean much IMO. Until I hear about the extent of MMA's condition, I'm gonna put this series as a big question mark pending judgment. If MMA just had a bit of a cough then damn, Alive is good. If MMA had a high fever/bad cold or something, then meh, bad luck for MMA, but his loss doesn't really say much to me besides that Alive beat a badly sick MMA. That's like saying MMA beating MVP doesn't really mean much.
In isolation, it didn't mean much. It mattered because he dominated and went on to win the tournament, after already winning a GSL. One series doesn't elevate a player that much unless it's truly exceptional. Which this wasn't. It had some interesting Build Orders, but it wasn't exactly full of excitement and drama and no-one's going to consider this the best series of 2012 at the end of the year.

I really wanted to see DRG vs MMA though :| PartinG's PvZ isn't really that good. DRG will roll over him. The only PvZ of his I've seen was in the KR MLG qualifiers, and I doubt he was showing much considering he was playing for a seed and has DRG in Code S. Not to mention he's said in interviews he feels his PvZ is his best match up. Or rather, he's most confident in it (I think, correct me if I'm wrong). He lost 2-3 to Monster, and I think DRG's ZvP is much better than Monster's. Did he? If this was after he knew he'd be playing DRG then again I don't think he'd show much, but that does speak volumes. Monster isn't anywhere near the beast that DRG is.
I do hope DRG wins, though. I'm a huge Zerg fanboy, and he looks like the best Zerg on the planet right now. If his ZvP is near as good as his ZvT then he's unstoppable from here on out.
