If you watched the interview with the MVP coach before the game he said they knew how much the crowd loved the celebrations and ceremonies, so they each prepared a few for when they won. I don't understand how the ceremonies cheapened the finals at all, honestly. If anything they made me enjoy the games and the series even more. | ||

Yes, you are one of the only ones smart enough to use their ears to listen to what the casters thoroughly explained, a true genius, or did you mean to say that you noticed it on your own?Probably not, no one can be that naive.

As much as I think the argument that their BM made the GSL "a joke" is silly and based on subjective view on what is "professional" or what the GSL should be, I did actually feel bad for Genius. I got the feeling that DRG underestimated how hard it is to be mocked, in booth, when you're trying to concentrate on the biggest moment of your life to date. He didn't actually mean it to be an ass, but I think it hurt Genius' concentration and confidence, etc. If you watch the VODs, genius seem to me to be a bit visibly frusterated and upset, trying to compose himself. | ||

Carriers with +air attacks which is what Genius was doing snowballs really quickly and become extremely cost efficient. It was a really good build to mix into a best of 7 and a really good map to do it on cuz you can turtle on three base which is what you need to support carriers. Genius wanted to win. We could all see it in his face. He wasn't trolling. | ||

I don't know any professional sport where during the course of a match/event players of opposing sides put on what amounts to a comedy show. You wouldn't see KeSPA allow this. You wouldn't see an NFL franchise tolerate this. I probably wouldn't mind as much if this happened in ro32 group stage or something, but come on, this was the finals. I expected a little more composure. | ||

Ironically you're only example is an american one...>_> That aside though, it wasn't really a comedy show. Ceremonies are a thing in starcraft. People also loved celebrations in football before they got banned. In hockey there's tons of shit being thrown around. There are a plethora of examples where this would be fine. | ||

At least another good thing we get from Genius not winning that Genius is that there probably won't be any Protoss OP talk... | ||

You should probably read the article John the Translator wrote on how KeSPA is the Blight of eSports. Bringing KeSPA into the discussion does little to make your points look any better, unfortunately. | ||
