Not sure about that, I think TaeJa or Hero also deserve to be in the finals. Especially now that Hero is in boss-mode lately and no longer playing horrible games (blizzcup etc)

His games against polt weren't exactly good.

well... polt actually beat both hero AND taeja to get to the finals. You could argue about stephano's run (I'm not), but either way Polt directly beat the two players you mentioned. Tournaments usually only really determine the best player - 2nd vs 3rd can sometimes be debated depending on brackets.

Stephano vs Puma was over 50k, so the viewer count should shoot up soon.

Don't forget the french stream of MilleniumTV, they will have a lot of viewers from France because of Stefano also!

They won't. It's like how people say MC has never gone past 2 bases even though he has won macro games

I think its a little bit silly to say that 3 or 4 players "deserve" to be in the finals. You either deliver the consistency and the results, or you don't. Both Polt and Stephano have dropped 2 games in this whole tournament afaik and have delivered really stunning play.

I really like the wait-time music from ASUS, it's a nice eclectic mix of electronic and jazz.

No, I realize that. I'm just talking skill level in general. If they were to run this tournament 100 times, I would expect each of those to take first a good percentage of the time.

Is the stream lagging for anyone else?

Lag still there, makes it totally unwatchable and no French stream is not the solution

If they don't do anything about it, that kinda ruins the whole tournament

Doesn't work that way. The only ones who deserve to be in the finals are the finalists, considering there haven't been any major screw-ups like the Zenio/NightEnD thing at IEM sofar.
