MKP is the only player to make it to multiple (3) GSL finals and not win one. And no, Winter Arena does not count when half the representation aren't even Korean players. It's actually only 2 unless you count Code A. And if we count Code A then Puzzle is a GSL champion... | ||

This isn't BW, the exact same rules don't apply. SC2 has a big international scene with tournaments like MLG and DH whose fields are just as stacked and difficult to get through as a GSL. While the Winter Arena doesn't break MKP out of the kong line since it was a closed event and a bit of a preliminary, winning the championship in Columbus certainly would. | ||

Cause MKP already won that too. 2) Beating a champion in a special event doesn't make it a major championship. MKP definitely still the King of Kongs. Your points are terribly flawed. You're right, this wasn't a normal MLG, in fact the field was much stronger than any other MLG outside of maybe Providence. Sure some of the European's and American's made the field slightly weaker but it was still by far the most stacked tournament outside of Korea. MKP is still a Kong, but only because you need more than a single championship to get out of the kong line (even Yellow agrees with that). | ||

If you have a point to make, make it - but lose that condescending tone asap. But if you prefer, I'll clarify - Do I really think they need to make every single little thing sound "the best ever"? No, but I definitely expect them to hype it up, regardless of the reality. I wouldn't expect anything less, and I doubt GOM wouldn't either. Edit - Or hell - they really could have even believed that it was one of the best finals ever as they were caught up in the moment or genuinely felt that way. | ||

Not really an excuse for the loss, but rather disappointed that DRG somehow took this over the top, disrespected his friend quite a bit in my opinion. A thumbs down in his own booth is something else than going into someone elses and dragging his arms up. | ||

He 2-0 DRG, 2-0 SC, took out Nestea and MKP then 3-0'd MC and Alive. It's funny how people are saying he sucks now. ^.^ Also Genius and DRG are now 4-4 vs each other. | ||

Yeah, such a great run. I don't think this was the best finals, but the quality of games this season overall was better than any previous. | ||

To me, any tournament with <50k usd prize money is considered a small event to me. Thats how we know which are the tournaments that really matter like the GSLs or MLG providence. | ||

Yes, Genius made a lot of mistakes, but like most RTS, games are often decided by the mistakes you do and don't make. I found the games to be highly enjoyable, especially because of Genius's unorthodox play. It's definitely not the worst ever GSL finals, by far. You're not alone. I loved it. A lot of the games came down to perfect timings from either player. The only thing I really disliked about the finals was Crossfire. I wish they'd stop using that map. Anyway, DRG! Yes! | ||
