This sounds like balance whine.
Ret got stomped by MC in long, late macro games. It's not the race, it's the player.

... Are you serious? Tennis is one of the most pussified, unprofessional, and fake win celebrations I've ever seen. Grown men on their knees sobbing after match wins... seriously?
I don't mind emotional wins but not after every single match like it's the end of your life. Save it for a finals or something, like Kobe winning Game 7 over Boston a few years back. If Roddick finally beat Federer in a Wimbledon Finals or when Nadal finally trumped Djokovic, okay, that's obviously something emotional. But if you're a top tier profesisonal, you should be expecting to win as part of your mental preparation. Did you see Kobe act like a 4 year old with a scabbed knee after every win? No. You saw a man who controlled himself until he won something of import, not after every bloody day of good work.
BoxeR after his loss to oov was an iconic SC moment for example, and thus obviously full of real emotion. That's something worth sharing and remembering for many reasons. But if BoxeR were to randomly cry everytime he wins a match, i would say that's very unprofessional.
So no, Tennis is an abysmal example in general for what a professional production and celebration should look like.

But but but Stephano still won major tournaments when zerg was considered weak. Yawn Btw probs to NASL amasing season and amasing final
It's not about being weak.. it's about being much easier. Stephano has talent but coupled with how relatively easy zerg is to play ( I mean he gloats about not having to practice at all, DRG said same thing about zerg), he just dominates. It's not like stephano is one of those players that is amazing multitask, drops everywhere. He defends perfectly then makes his end game composition and slaughters both races.

Nestea vs Losira was the most one sided

When did I say Ret = Stephano? Don't bother posting to me if your logic is terrible.

Congrats to the frenchman champion! I haven't watched the games yet, but Stephano's Zerg style is always a pleasure to view, AND he's a world-class player on top of that.

Same, and that is why i love Nadal and Djokovic, Fist pumps, jumps, roars and overall badass celebrations, That is what sports are all about.
Winning a tournament should bring joy to the winner, standing still with a microphone in your face acting serious while you feel like screaming at the top of your lungs and jump around seems stupid. Yeah sure you could bring some professionalism but when Spain wins the world or euro cup you dont see them standing serious in a single line in the middle of the court. Or when someone wins the world series they dont stand at the sidelines with their hats off.
You could have a celebration like this and then a laid back ceremony, but personally i dont find anything wrong with this ending at all.

Well I dunno about your first couple of points, I don't watch enough tennis. But yeah, I didn't like the example of it being extremely professional either, which is why I brought up my anecdote. So thanks for supporting my point I guess lol

I don't think GSL really suites Stephano's style . . . he doesn't catch me as the kind of guy who studies his opponents, or wants to wait around for days and weeks to play each match. He just wants to roll through to the end and cash in. Can't say I blame him, and I'm definitely a big fan because of it. He plays his style and doesn't worry too much on other people's style. He's been analyzed and studied a lot but yet he still is a dominant player. I think he can do well, just that there's so many people at his skill level in GSL. He's definitely one of the best players in the world. He's a dominant player who only just got his first big tournament. I think he's an awesome player, but don't think he'll magically get to korea and win the GSL. The competition there is far and above anything Stephano has won so far. Lol man, what's with the fucking haters. Stephano has been finishing top 4 in so many major recent tournaments he participated in. MLG, Red Bull, IPL, NASL, he's been owning it up everywhere. His skill level is higher than both Naniwa and SaSe, who both made it into code S recently. If Stephano would participate in Code S it would of course not be a guaranteed win, but he would have a better shot than the average Code S player most certainly. He has already been to Korea once and the only reason he didn't do Code S was because he didn't want to. He only has to accept GOM's seed. And I'm not saying this because I like Stephano. MKP has said in an interview that Stephano is Code S level, and I believe some other Code S players as well. Furthermore a lot of Broodwar Players (Jaedong et. al) are impressed with him. Sure Stephano is not perfect, but he's one of the best players in the world and if you want to post comments like that you're in the wrong place at the wrong time bro. GTFO. Sigh... when did I say he's not one of the best players in the world? Of course he is that's pretty much established... What I'm saying, is people expect him to get to Korea, enter GSL and instagib everyone, which is certainly not gonna happen. GSL is tougher than all those tournaments
IPL4 was tougher than GSL. (Stephano finished 5-6th, tied with MKP)

I wish MC was in the top half of the bracket, probably would have made it an MC/Stephano finals. Even if it would have been a 4-2, at least the finals would have been competitive :[

I find it hilarious that people are actually voting GSL champion here.
That said, I did get the urge to vote that way as well, just because I know it'll aggravate people, so maybe that's part of the reason.
I'd be inclined to think Ro16/Ro8 is probably a good guess. However, GSL would have to be about the hardest tournament to pick placings simply because the sheer amount of talent involved, its so easy for a favourite to go down early.

ROFL oh the ignorance.
You do realize most of those celebrations you speak of are at the finals of a grand slam right? Something you only dream of participating in as a kid, let alone win it. And when you do it for like the second or third time after an exhausting 5 and a half or 6 hour finals in the blistering heat of australia i wouldnt be surprised if you collapsed and started sobbing like a little girl..

You are talking aobut djokovic after wining a big match, yeah thats pure emotion right there. As for "professional production" Most of thepeople participating in this league are kids in their 20s, theres no need for a ceremony with red carpets and long speeches, its a videogame ment to be fun, the tournament is meant to bring entertainment, a dance party with the winner seems right for the kind of event the NASL is Yeah, I couldn't remember if the winner was Djokovic or Nadal. I should probably clarify that I saw nothing wrong with his celebration, it was like you said "pure emotion". I just didn't like the point that tennis is some purely professional 1v1 competition where stuff like that never happens. I like when people show emotion and have fun after a big win, which is why I liked this NASL finals celebration. ... Are you serious? Tennis is one of the most pussified, unprofessional, and fake win celebrations I've ever seen. Grown men on their knees sobbing after match wins... seriously? I don't mind emotional wins but not after every single match like it's the end of your life. Save it for a finals or something, like Kobe winning Game 7 over Boston a few years back. If Roddick finally beat Federer in a Wimbledon Finals or when Nadal finally trumped Djokovic, okay, that's obviously something emotional. But if you're a top tier profesisonal, you should be expecting to win as part of your mental preparation. Did you see Kobe act like a 4 year old with a scabbed knee after every win? No. You saw a man who controlled himself until he won something of import, not after every bloody day of good work. BoxeR after his loss to oov was an iconic SC moment for example, and thus obviously full of real emotion. That's something worth sharing and remembering for many reasons. But if BoxeR were to randomly cry everytime he wins a match, i would say that's very unprofessional. So no, Tennis is an abysmal example in general for what a professional production and celebration should look like. ROFL oh the ignorance. You do realize most of those celebrations you speak of are at the finals of a grand slam right? Something you only dream of participating in as a kid, let alone win it. And when you do it for like the second or third time after an exhausting 5 and a half or 6 hour finals in the blistering heat of australia i wouldnt be surprised if you collapsed and started sobbing like a little girl..
Just ignore the trolls
