Bogus still #1, SK still #2 sOs goes up Mvp not in the top ten LOL wtf TL Powerank team.
Seeing how sOs played against Bogus, MVP better be in there

sos's strat in theory is one of the strongest. But even on a map where the architecture favors it, a mobile army trading cost inefficiently still beats it. That one overextension where he lost most of his tempest cost him the game. I feel like it's an extremely difficult army to position correctly. oracle/observer to gain vision, then tempests, with well spread templar very close by to prevent marine stims and vikings. It's like playing mech.
And I like it so much more than broodlord infestor because it's nowhere close to an a-move comp.

Who gives a crap about these stupid pissing contests. Nascar has had 400k crowds. Does that make it the best?

I just watched the last 2 games and was shocked to see that their were only ~10k viewers on GOM TV?! Remember there are also people watching on GomTV's site directly, their numbers don't count towards the twitch numbers. Also tastes are different, I prefer Tastosis as well, but some people like more colorful comments, and prefer it if the casters pretend that a game is not over when it actually is, to keep the excitement I guess. So, to each his own, it's great that everybody gets to make a choice here. That second OGN stream with the guys just not even really casting the game, just sitting on their couch and making comments here and there was the best.

Such is SC2. 3-0 and 3-1 finals are not that rare in broodwar. Take off goggles Score does not completely determine how good or bad a series is. It could be 4-0, but if the games themselves are good, the series is good.
good are subjective, and we will leave it at that.

Just kidding ^_^

gl next time sOs, hope he doesn't get affected too much.

Loved that lounge. Great for WCS!

Every unit has the same AI, it’s just exacerbated by the Tempest’s painfully slow rate of fire >.< Except sieged tanks. I blame Dustin Browder.
It's not just Tanks. Any unit with an instant attack works that way, as opposed to those with a projectile with travel time. Immortals work the same way for example, it's just Tanks that really benefit from it the most.
Tempests actually have a lot of micro potential for this reason. If sOs was babysitting them and grabbing groups to manually target down Medivacs and Ghosts, they would have done far, far more damage. Honestly he was mechanically very sloppy throughout the entire series. A lot of his harassment attempts did nothing because the units were just a-moved in and were attacking far less than optimal targets, like that DT trying to solo a PF where it could have killed like 20 SCVs. He also tried to have several Oracles flying about keeping constant tabs on the enemy army movement and picking off SCVs where possible, but again he just couldn't keep up with it all. I would love to see that strategy tried by a player who really has the APM to control everything optimally.

Holy shit, people here just can't be positive.......... ?
It's the biggest SC2 crowd we've seen, period. Comparing is ridiculous.
What I see is progress... But some people just want to belittle everything not their turf right ?

sOs was the real star of this tournament, showing some ridiculous play in all match ups and winning with it. I hope we see alot more of that in the future and not the same boring protoss timings.

1100 - finally I can go to bed.

and here come the kissing of the trophy =D

Innovation has some resemblence with Oov, he just gonna keep on crushing everyone, but I feel most people wont appriciate hin much as a champion---until in like 3 years, when we look back and understand just how far ahead he was, but then again, will we really look back at a hots champion, once sc2 reaches is final form?
One of the very rare cases where money does not lie, hope he gets at least as much out of it as he can during his prime.
Actually i think it's Innovation>all
Honestly, I think Flash will become THAT Terran until Bogus gets better at TvT, Who knows, maybe we'll have 2?

Live is where it matters. Uh, not even remotely. TV/Online audiences make up the majority of advertising revenue for major sporting events. I was comparing live audiences. that's why i said live is where it matters. Proleague has had a bigger live audience than superbowl. FACT. If we dont take into consideration any other facts like price for seats etc etc, proleague had a bigger live audience and that is that.

now kissing trophy time haha

Starcraft less popular than American Football. More exciting news coming soon.

MKP was never in a situation where the second place player gets 20k. MKP got $26700 for 2nd place in GSL Open Season 2
and $18000 for Code S January. Which is pretty close to 20k

There was no justification prior to this tournament to include Mvp on the list, he had only played foreigners in WCS EU. He deserves to be on the list next month though, he was the only one here to give Innovation trouble.
