A GomTvT final in December 2012? Would really be the surprise of the year.
Can't see Hyun standing up to Bogus, not after today's games. That was just code S vs Master league. Sniper can beat Ryung, but I'm still betting on Ryung for that one.
Didn't watch the games, are you saying Soulkey played like a master player, or Bogus made him look like one?

yo leenock wtf. sniper first time getting this far
|
Curse you Sniper!!!! Really wanted to Leenock to advance =(
Anyway it's still pretty cool that it's 2 Terran 2 Zerg, not what I was expected. Hoping for a non-ZvZ finals, and hope Ryung takes it all!

Bogus outclassed him. SK started off the series with a nice attack, but then Bogus couldn't even really be touched.

This is the opposite of what I wanted to happen.
Oh well, go Bogus?

I really hate the people spouting off nonsense about how bad this is. The players who win advance. That's how it is, that's how it should be. All of these players defeated fantastic players to get to this point. Who the fuck are you to say they don't deserve it.
Anyways, GO HYUN! How the semi-finalists reached the semi-finals: Hyun Bye vs Rain 1-2 vs Yoda 2-1 vs Gumiho 2-0 vs Yoda 1-2 vs MKP 2-1 vs Hack 3-1 vs Creator Bogus 0-2 vs Leenock 2-0 vs Squirtle 2-0 vs Keen 2-1 vs Sniper 2-0 vs Polt 3-0 vs Soulkey Ryung 2-1 vs Vampire 0-2 vs Life 2-1 vs Vampire 1-2 vs Curious 2-0 vs DRG 2-0 vs Curious 3-1 vs MKP Sniper 2-1 vs Seed 1-2 vs MKP 2-0 vs Sos/Shy 1-2 vs Bogus 2-0 vs Parting 2-0 vs Polt 3-0 vs Leenock None of those strike me as very impressive runs. And many of the games were won because the opponent played poorly. All four of them looked bad in the ro32 and were lucky to get into the ro16. Only once did one of them manage to finish first in a group, and that was when Bogus finished ahead of Sniper. And what's your point? "They played better than their opponents, they shouldn't be in the semifinals"? Everyone is whining because all the favorites are out. Get over it.
I was trying to explain why there has been less hype and why this season isn't as exciting as the ones earlier this year. In season 1 the two finalists Genius and DRG met three times, once in ro32 (Genius won), once in ro16 (DRG won) and again in final. In season 2 Squirtle only lost one map (to MMA) before the final. In season 3 Seed lost to Byun in the ro32 but then got revenge in the semi-final. Last season Life reached the final by only losing two maps en route (one to Seed and one to MKP).
This season there has been no-one who has been so consistently impressive. They have all needed a bit of luck to get to the semis. Squirtle, Seed, and Life were all new (or fairly new in Seed's case) to code S but that didn't detract anything. My post had nothing to do with the fan-favourites being eliminated.
I've had two replies to my post, one accusing me of "talking out of [my] ass" and the second telling me to "Get over it". Maybe my post had a negative attitude towards this season of GSL but I don't understand why it was so bad.

I HATE YOU FOREVER SNIPER

Wow! Sniper over Leenock. Did not expect that - I wanted Leenock to win, but I'm pretty happy with the topsy-turvey nature of this season!

Bogus outclassed him. SK is a bit of an unproven quality still, so hard to tell exactly how good he really is ZvT. However Bogus displayed MVP-class standard play combined with MKP-class control and agressiveness. Very impressive stuff.

Just the fact that a TvT final is possible fills my heart with joy - down with the zergs!
|
Sniper...
Why you doin' this to me, man
|
I really wanna see a Ryung v. Sniper final.
|
For the hype it's too bad both Leenock and MKP got knocked out. That said, their opponents just played better so lets hope we'll see some great games in the final four.
|
Whoa, wasn't expecting a 3-0. I really should watch some Bogus games. I'm sad that Leenock lost, hopefully Sniper won't show disappointing games.

And not a particularly strong one at that. My predictions this season have not gone well at all. 8/16 in Ro32. 3/8 in Ro16. 0/4 in Ro8.

Trivia: in BW Bogus was one of the few who were able to take down the God Flash a couple of times, thus stopping God-Young Ho's winrate from breaking beyond ~70%.
