I was rooting for Seed but you can't help but love MC's attitude. I am sure he wanted to win but you can't win them all. With so many tournaments coming up(WCG tomorrow, ROG next week and then OSL, WCS...), it is not a time to get down on yourself. Being the leading money winner probably helps with that as well  . | ||

This is why I say protoss needs a huge overhaul. Warp in makes boring games. Buff gateway units, remove warp gate mechanic and instantly everything becomes nice to watch but nooooo.. blizzard wants their warpgate. sigh... Ya, been saying this for a while. Warpgate is just one of the main problems with SC2, imo. Not from a balance perspective, but just from the fact that it makes games less epic and interesting compared to BW. It encourages deathballs too much and makes for games often decided by 1 battle. Look at BW in comparison. Pvx games are often epic late games with units constantly streaming across the map, battles all over the place, it is just far more exciting and fun to watch than SC2 protoss. Watch the recent Jangbi vs Zero semi final osl series and tell me that is not more exciting a style to watch than what we have in SC2. Warpgate needs to go and arguably colossus, Protoss should become a race with good harass again that rewards micro and multitask, add reavers back and buff protoss in other ways to make up for warpgate loss. I really wish the guys in charge of SC2 would stop trying so hard to make their game "unique" and just take the things from BW that worked best at least, if it aint broke, don't fix it. | ||

Collosus are the primary issue, ESPECIALLY in PvP. Imagine removing the collosus in pvp, you'd have much more exciting end game compositions and would have battles everywhere. | ||

Well yeah, but Blizzard doesn't want BW with better graphics, I don't want that either. Changing it just because its how it was in BW wont do. I would like the race mechanics to promote longer games though. | ||

Yeah, or MKP charging into siege tanks 4times in a row against MVP. Or Polt vs MMA. The the return of nonpositional TvT. Or MC vs Rain. Or every second GSL finals. | ||

Most recent GSL finals have either been very solid (MMA vs MVP, DRG vs Genius) or amongst the best series ever played in Sc2 (MMA vs DRG, MVP vs Squirtle, Jjakji vs Leenock). After so many good finals they were due a bad one. | ||

I have watched every single finals. This is one of the worst. I feel bad for saying that. Yes there are ones where other people got owned but after he won 3 in a row with demanding lead. I was like when does Seed just win one more. The games were so short also. TheBossToss became the TheLossToss. I will say this though Seed after he won was very nice about it. He even thanked GomTV for setting up the event in Busan which I thought was awesome. | ||

Actually Warpgate is a great idea but it needs to be balanced so that its a strategic tool instead of something that just gives an overwhelming advantage. I've always felt that we should be able to get units out of gateways faster and much slower from warpgates. This will mean that the player who uses the warpgates as gateways will have a unit production advantage while the player with warpgates will have a mobility advantage sacrificing unit production. Maybe some mod (Starbow ?) should try this out and see how it works. Similarly collossi are just too mobile as seige units. Their mobility needs to be reduced to make and damage increased to make it such that they need to be baby sit all the time. | ||

This was definitely worse than Nestea v Inca and Nestea v Losira... the former was actually funny, the latter had some good play interspersed (Losira didn't play terribly, Nestea was just so good with every decision and whatnot). Game 5 wasn't bad but none of them really had any excitement. | ||
