It would be nice to make the award ceremony more epic, without making it awkward.
I almost want to say an Olympic style pedestal with 1st, 2nd and 3rd, but I don't think that would work very well.
It's hard to think of an effective way to make the presentation more climactic, but something definitely needs to be done.


An epic award ceremony depends on the charisma of the winner tho.
U can plan an entire award ceremony, but if the guy that wins is just standing there like a zombie it's not gonna do much.

I feel sad for aLive, people never give him the credit he deserves, well, he's got at least one proper admirer of his work.
I like the part where sense is considered a common, settled thing.

God, that ending was a bit anti-climatic.
aLive is a great player but he is no MC or Nestea in terms of charisma...


Nestea has no charisma, lol. His play speaks for him, and his character is personality. Stereotype: "Silent Giant"

Alive?: "Nerd with Pointy Chin" He'd be more of a villain simply because he's up against Squirtle, but he won, and people are feeling confused lol. The hero is supposed to win!?!

Well deserved win by Alive. Great tournament in general, especially considering its price.

Wtf, yesterday they just ended broadcast after GSTL final match without interviews and I thought it was because of disconnection (even that is weak excuse) issue but they did the same today...

There was big potential to make this entire event even more epic with interviews, more spent time with audience, bring Beast Crew to roam around and capture final impressions of casters, players (both finalists and all who stayed to watch the games), random fans,... ANYTHING. :/

Production Value was probably 5/10 but the games were like a 9/10 - so many epic games.

its like NASL Season 1. So many problems with the presentation, but the games, the games!

The observer alone is good for 6 points. I wish every tournament gets him.

I feel so bad for aLive He definitely deserved louder cheers than he got

I get that people don't really like him personally because he isn't too flashy, doesn't have a "style" like MKP or something like that, but I think for all the effort he has to put into the game and winning a championship he deserves a very loud applause during his awards ceremony.

Oh well, I guess he can cuddle that giant 40k check when he goes to sleep to comfort himself at least.

God this finals was a travesty....

Alive definitely did not deserve the win.... like lol mostly BO wins and then just steamrolling with marauders ? god that's a useful skill toi have.

Not only that but squirtle fought so hard to get to this point

Squirtle is the real champion.... Alive just won a useless trophy

haters gonna hate

Alive played excellent in the second best of 3. Congrats to Alive!

I think Alive finally gets exactally what he deserves, that said. I agree that squirtle is the true champion at least for me.

his list of accomplishments in this tournament speak for themselves.

bed time :D

Thanks IPL4

I said that eariler and thought that until he played beneth his level those last three games,

Trying to cheese first two and trying to force win with stalkers made me think he just quit mentally thus not heart of champion.

no interview?!

It seems they were really really too short of time to make even an interview for the winner. That is a bit disapointing for the ending of such a great tournament


no interview = awkwardness from awards ceremony is removed

I'm so confused by Game3 @.@

Why go stalker/collossus on 3 base.....?


I think after the exchange at Alive's nat he would have been OK if had have pulled back and defended and built up again. I think he lost too much attacking the third.


The confusing part was not starting the templar archives until after he'd lost every collossus and practically his entire gateway army. I can't remember the last time I saw a 3 base vs 3 base PvT late game where toss refused to start templar tech and had that many stalkers.
I might be the minority on TL, but TL is the minority everywhere else.

I'm scared for MMA in Code S. Squirtle is fucking good. And beat MMA easily, 2-0.

When I don't have a rooting interest in either player I usually root for the terran, but damn I really wanted Squirtle to win that. It would have been the greatest run in SC2 history. So close to being on the cusp of glory and immortality only to fall short in the end. Anyways gg Alive. Continuing that terran dominance.

Yeah I think it's amazing that people have started to realize how great ST_Legend is at observing too, even pointing out upgrade advantages mid game, etc. I hope more tournaments like IPL, MLG, etc will fly him out to do observing for them too.
