It saddens me that the starcraft community has to make such a big deal about 'how horrible the finals were' and whine and whine and whine all because... MC played very poorly. I mean he straight up didn't know how to approach this series and it showed. Why everybody has to waste their breath on whining about PvP or SC2 in general is beyond my comprehension. I guess the whiners are the loudest.

To me, this is the same as a Superbowl blowout... yeah it wasn't a close game, but nobody is whining to the high heavens about the sport when that happens.

Even MC admitted in the interviews that he prepared completely wrong for the series: he thought Seed would play FE builds and prepared for that instead

Because one is a universally accepted sport and the other is struggling to prove itself in Korea. There's good reason to care about the quality of the games.

I think it shows that PvP is a guessing game, no matter how much people like to claim it is skill based. Yes, there is skill involved, and obviously the better you are the more likely you are to guess right, as well as execute better, but frankly MC was forced to guess, he guessed wrong, and Seed guessed correctly.

don't be ridiculous. Inca did the same build 4 games in a row, and everyone expected Nestea to stomp Inca anyways. nothing about that series was interesting at all.

Seed was the underdog and outplayed MC. it was an upset and Seed mind gamed MC hard by doing the same build two games in a row.

No surprise that the ZvZ and PvP finals were the most boring to date lol.


You clearly forget Nestea vs Inca. And to that I say, you are a lucky man. Not just the worst finals, the worst match of the entire GSL history.


Well, the Inca Nestea finals are more in everybodies memory than most other finals. At least they are memorable.

lol, knew it, PvP just sucks for a final. And people were still confident it would be epic. If its just a Bo3 it might still be exciting. 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...


I think warpgates are ok . Just you need to remove warpins from pylons and put the warping only around gates + nexus and for warp prism only.


wow. I think you just resolved everything. :O

PvP can be an interesting matchup, but sadly this final wasn't. Still congratulations to Seed.
Only thing I know is that I know nothing.

But Inca Vs Nestea was funny in that way.
