The crowd doesnt seem to be very excited anymore as well, cant blame them, for me that tournament is over.
I care...Nestea is one of my favorite zerg players. I waited all weekend for Stephano to lose and now i can finally rest.

CatsPajamas was made for this stuff man. The guy doesn't miss a beat when it comes to presenting and announcing, he's also a solid commentator.
I hope he will get more screentime in the future. He deserves it.

Yes ok I also really like Nestea, but what im trying to say is that the tournament would be 10x more exciting if a foreigner was fighting for the title, the same goes for MLG. I guess you cant really do much about it but its just sad and bad for the tournaments as well.
well, i would like idra to be in there. but im used to disappointment. =(

Fun fact: This is, I believe, Squirtle's first PvZ of the tournament. To my knowledge it's been all vP or vT for him.
He played Nestea earlier, and even lost to him who put him in the lower bracket

this commercial makes no sense at all and they keep playing it. i am a somewhat angry and confused nerd.

Squirtle champion IPL4!
calling it right now !!! Since there's only two players left, its not that big of a "call" aLive, Nestea and Squirtle all still in it. Winner of Nestea v Squirtle comes up against aLive and has to win two bo5s against him. aLive needs to win one bo5 against the winner of lower bracket. Really? That is so wrong. That's how double elimination works. Why should alive be the only player in the tournament without a second chance to come back just because he placed first place in the winner's bracket. Come on, think about it for a moment. IMO grand finals should be a no advantage field, just play one straight up BoX series. Loser bracket pays by playing more matches. At most a 1-0 advantage should be given. I know a 1 series advantage sounds logical, but it's too huge an advantage imo. And then there's extended series, which is just beyond retarded. There is no extended series, this is standard double elimination. GOD i hate how MLG messed up everyone's mind about how Double Elimination works. I know there's no extended series, learn to read. I just mentioned how retarded it is. I still think a whole series advantage is too much. Grand finals should be an even field, makes it more exciting.
The entire tournament is on an even field - lose two series and you're out. No reason to make the finals an exception.

terrible game that time -.-. Zerg plays well for 25 minutes takes a small lead, terran falls more and more behind, but just one really bad engagement from nestea and gg. No fun to watch It wasn't just "one really bad engagement," though certainly there is some truth to your statement. Nestea donated his entire banelings (= gas) for that dumb attempt to blow off the CC. He could have backed off when alive lifted the CC but he kept going toward the high ground (= no vision, tanks waiting) taking out the SCVs would have been the best move imo

aLive winning it wouldn't be bad. Just... boring, and unremarkable. Yeah, with all the crazy story lines and upsets this tournament it would be really strange.
well aLive has collected only 20k in prize money so far, which doesnt justify his skills.
those 40k would sky rocket him in the ranking at SC2earnings.com

Haters gonna Hate ;D Pft. Only top 3. People watching last GSL already knew he was top 3, if anyone's fallen out of the top 3 it's MVP. top 3?...based solely on a foreign tournament..1 tournament at that...so by top 3..do you mean better than...jjakai,gumiho,mvp,marineking,?..just to name a few Did people not watch the last GSL or something I'm confused here.
I did, but you didn't answer my question.

Yea he said himself the Koreans will produce great games. What more can you want?
He can't get past skin color. he's pretty sad.
