This is one of the least interesting top 4's ever in terms of big name players, I can't even remember the last time we had a GSL top 4 without someone in the 100k club.
Okay, so I went back on Liquipedia to find the answer to this question.
The last time we had a final 4 that did not involve one of:
MC
Mvp
NesTea
DRG
MMA
Marineking
Polt
Leenock
was,
GSL Open Season 1.

And he beat a handful of title contenders on his way so it's good The only bad thing about this semis is that Hyun gotta play Bogus 
100% agreed lol
but I didnt realise Hyun gotta play Bogus in semis....damn that woulda been sick finals

All of the favorites choked. What a terrible season. These finalists are fine, but they don't really seem as impressive as Mvp, Rain, Life, and DRG et. al. when those guys are on their A game -- which they were not this season
|
The GSL should be all about skill, so the best players advance --> perfect. If there are no fan favourites in the Ro4 than they played bad and they should feel bad.
So plz stop crying everybody, the matches are going to be awesome :D.

I remember Life getting lots of flak during his Royal Road run.
Taking out lots of fan favorite(Seed,MKP,Taeja,Nestea,MVP).
Winner of Hyun vs Bogus should win GSL.

So, most unexpected GSL winner: jjakji, Polt or one of these four? Hyun, eh, not so much. Bogus, Ryung, and Sniper? Yeah. Sniper winning would beat jjakji. Sniper is just...no hype. He's the guy who beats the hyped players. Both Sniper and jjakji are very succesful teamleague players. They deserve more hype.
There just really isn't anything exciting about Sniper, though. He's very, very good, and I even said in the S4 preview of all the players he was a sneaky pick to win it all, but he's just kinda there. We really haven't seen any personality from him, and he hasn't had a defining series in his career.
Seed was the same until his Ro8 vs. Symbol that made his career. jjakji's didn't come till his finals against Leenock.

GSL is just insanly hard and as no player is ruling the scene.

S2 and S4 were very, very good. S1 and S3 were decent, but S3 had a terrible PvP finals. S5 is just fucking weird. I don't think the game quality is any worse than S1 or S3, but it's just weird.
I found S3 really enjoyable, except for said shitty finals. Weird that this season has tanked so hard.

I don't find it surprising that this season has been lackluster. they rushed the whole season for IPL. Code A is suffering as a result too because they released the bracket like 3 days before the first games so everyone just 11-11ed on every map

But life played great. It became obvious through the season that he wasn't the random zerg people thought he was.
Sniper is just a zerg

I could root for Bogus, but I can't imagine the shitstorm incoming in tl if a kespa player wins the GSL. So I guess I'm gonna root for Hyun to take it all.

Rain forfeiting didn't help either

Yeah, this is the season of curses. Ah well, go HyuN and Mr. "I-knock-out-everyone-popular-ever". Get Zerg Nerfed. ^_^

This is true, as did lack of preparation.
