Pointless idea to actually hold a ceremony contest. Firebathero would just straightup win if he was allowed in. If not, his absence would discredit whoever won the thing

(the only other GSL finals thread i've made) Pretty obvious that was the best finals this year, maybe ever Lets wait for Blizzard cup/GSL Tour Grand Final, with people like MVP/Rain/DRG/Life/Parting and now SNIPER THE LADY KILLER? I believe? Could potentially be a just as epic finals, on the line of MMA vs DRG esque.

^ This.
We need more ancient greek styled hubris in E-Sports. Someone who talks shit, and backs it up. Kind of like a cross between Idra and Parting but while also winning a lot of the time.

Atleast some emotion would be great. Come one, you just won the most prestigious tournament in the world and cashed in pretty big. And he's only waving his arms around in an awkward way.

But it's completely understandable why he doesn't have that many fans. DRG was ripping it up silently taking out everyone last year. But more than that, people could say, "DRG has the best muta micro". And that's something you can tangibly see and enjoy. What can you say about sniper? That he's good, that's basically it.

Seed might get in if PartinG wins WCG, provided that GOM keeps the same method as last year

Ah fair. To be fair I think MMA at his peak played TvZ in a refined/controlled way. Gumiho would try to do MORE stuff, and be more aggressive. When it worked it's so sick to watch, but by spreading himself on so many fronts he'd also sometimes just screw up
|
I'd say this is the third best finals of the year
Mvp/Squirtle
DRG/Genius
This
and the 7th best overall
and why write Sniper off as a Jjakji? What did Life do before he won Code S? hell he wasnt even in Code S ever before he won. Sniper was a bigger name at the start of this season than LIfe was at the start of the last. Lets just actually give the man a chance?

During the last game I thought that map makers have made it so that ZvZ can look almost as chess-like as TvT. Thank you, map-makers!

Hyun will become the most persistent checker of hidden bases in all of starcraft after this loss. It will no doubt eat away at him for weeks.

Might agree on MvP Squirtle, but Life/MvP was much better than DRG Genius. /not biased.

Oh come on this shit again? We went over this when Seed won.
Watch the vod when he wins and pay attention.
Not every emotion equals doing a backflip or trashing stuff.

Seed is #4 in point rankings, and Life qualified as MLG champ, so #3 point ranking will default to Seed at #4? I hope. i like Seed ;x

I think that's for guys like that. A guy trying to do that, who doesn't have that mentality looks awkward, look at Naniwa doing the thumbs down to Nestea.
I don't know, it's more like get rid of all this FALSE modesty. You don't have to go to the other end of the extreme, just some of these guys will like, win a GSL and still claim they're bad players, and were lucky. Maybe they believe that I don't know?

Cloud Kingdom does seem to produce some good ZvZs. Leenock vs Life at the MLG finals had a good game on it with Leenock making a nice comeback. Idra vs rorO from WCS was also pretty good.
The use of high ground and chokes adds a lot of positional elements to the map for all matchups.
