I'd say he is the favorite, but both of those guys have been absolutly amazing this GSL. And they are on one team, they know each other and will be prepared. And it's a final, so they are going to be extraprepared. Hyped, hyped, hyped!

I hope it goes to game 7, I wanna see the most amount of ceremonies I can Should be good, both are amazing players.

Haha, you can't be serious. There's been tons of "Protoss OP" whining in these LR threads. Terrans have been whining a ton lately, the only difference is that they're actually still doing fine in the GSL (again, 2 Ts in the semifinals), especially compared to how badly Z or P was doing at the height of their respective whining. If you think Terrans haven't been whining lately (both about the new patch and about Protoss) then you're so far in denial that there's no point in even continuing this conversation because I can't argue with someone who just blatantly ignores obvious facts. In the past, sure, there's been less Terran whining than Protoss or Zerg whining, but that's conveniently because Terran dominated the GSL last year. Now that Terran's been taken down a notch we see that Terran players are merely human and whine just as much as Toss or Zerg players. Only difference is that I see a ton of Terran whining when their race went from dominant to just average, while I saw the Zerg and Toss whining when their races were legitimately doing terribly in the GSL. To be clear, I'm not factoring personal ladder experiences into this at all. I'm solely talking about the GSL. Wow. Just wow. If you think moaning about a (commonly held belief) over nerf to ghosts - i assume this is the recent whining you are talking about - which is a fairly major blow to an already weak T late game vs Z (vs Inf/BL/C) compared to months and months of zergs bitching about everything a terran does is the same then i just don't know what to say. There are more issues involved with why T has been dominating GSLs over the last year than T being OP. You're missing my point. I actually think the ghost nerf was done wrong and I feel that the whining was completely justified. However, my mentioning of the whining from the patch was not because I felt the whining was unjustified; it was merely to illustrate that Terran players do whine (justified or not), something that ChaosTerran seems to be denying. And here you are, whining about terran players whining. Its like we have come a full circle. By that logic, you can't really discuss whining at all because then that discussion will just be labeled as whining and then nobody can talk about anything without being labeled a whiner. See, I can do it too: Hey, look at Bagi, whining about me whining about Terran players whining! Oh, and since I anticipate a response along the lines of "No, I wasn't whining, I was merely pointing out that you were whining" - yeah, that's what my defense is as well. I'm not whining, I'm just pointing out that Terran players are whining. You might have a point, except for the fact that this:

Goes a "little" beyond pointing out terran players a whine. Its literally you complaining about how the terran players have the audacity to whine in the first place.

yay drg best zerg in tha world ♥ i love zerg
so happy we dont have another tvt final

Just think about this. When Blizzard said that terran is the least succesful race on the ladder, was there a huge shitstorm by terran players with 20 whine threads about how blizzard needs to fix the race? No of course not, barely anyone complained, and the few who complained were just told to play better (in other words they were told that P and Z players are just better in general). Now think about the same scenario just with the exception that it's not terran who is the weakest ladder race but P or Z. Can you imagine the shitstorm people would start? How many threads on TL and the bnet forums where everyone demands an insta buff for the weakest race? It's so ridiculous and hypocritical, it actually makes my cry and laugh at the same time.

DRG just couldnt let it go. He reverse swept Gumi, just so he can play his buddy in the finals.

You call it complaining, I call it pointing out ironies. I could just as easily interpret your previous post as a thinly-veiled complaint about my own supposed whining, although I'm pretty sure you meant it as a snide comment rather than a complaint.

Dat finals. Will be SIIIIIIICK

Oh had to leave computer when score was 2/0, DRG won? Gz!
offtopic: Terran is the weakest race outside of GSL, but you cant say that in these forums cause all the trolls will come and get you with their "Terran was dominant for soo long" bs. Now add Ghost nerf and Terran is even weaker in lategame vs Zerg. Not saying TvZ is unwinnable, but it just became ALOT harder, if someone cant see that then...

Well... What can we do? There are like 20% of Terran players in TL, if not less. Would you really expect anything different? You see, people love to say T is OP no matter what. It's a good excuse for their own losses. It's a psychological defence.

36% Terran on TL
And one GSL final without Terran is no problem. Nobody really cares. Stop whine.

Hm, disappointed with the results. Well, at least I won't need to stay up for the finals.

Check your facts Terran is still winning more than 50% of games at highish levels of ladder according to David Kim - he said people were COMPLAINING that Terran is weaker, which should show up as lower win percentages than the other races, but their statistics and evidence shows otherwise.
IMO though, Terran takes better mechanics (but can be worse at strategy) than the other races at high levels. Once you get to Code S that's no longer the case though most-likely (obviously I have no first-hand experience here). I play random btw.
I read almost every thinly-veiled balance whine in the strategy forums (usually tagged with [d] or [h]), and I can't remember any games where players lost when they deserved to win. Therefore balance must be pretty good (I don't like ZvT or PvZ though, those are hard, but that's just because I suck at them).

Just yesterday I've founded the "save the terrans foundation". We accept all sorts of donations. Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, you name it. Our goal is to make the public aware of the hardships terrans are going through, and thus try to save the endangered species. Are you interested in contributing?

At least prove that. Anyone can claim random stuff.

Yay, DRG coming back from being 0-2, nice.

Damn it. I've gone against Genius every chance I had to vote for him, and the only time I was right was in the RO16 against MKP. I bet now if I were to pick him in the finals, DRG would end up winning. I want to go with DRG though, so meh.

OMG DRG came back!!!! I left at 0 - 2, DRG is sooo sick in the pressure cooker, that's amazing.

No Terran in the GSL final. This is a joke, clearly terran needs a buff.
