it's impossible for either team to make it to the playoffs even if they win every single one of their games right? then what's the point of them playing this?
Teams and players still have fans that want to watch them play, it works the same way with physical sports leagues where teams out of contention still play their games.

Imagine the NBA cancelling some of the games late in the season when playoffs seeds have been decided.

This is going to sound mean, but after seeing his games in the WCS AM, I'm not too surprised he hasn't been played. He's good enough to be in Premier Division WCS AM, but he doesn't even look dominant against foreigners.

I really hope Trust doesn't just pound him here. I think that's probably the most concerning thing that could happen, being in the booth when he shouldn't be.
CJ SC2 players went to see CJ Blade's LoL Champions yesterday. They must be super disappointed today to see all the empty chairs.

If the Proleague finals have half the product OGN Champions did, I'd be impressed.
You mean production value?
Yeah, OGN outdid everything ever yesterday, it was amazing production value.
Where I can watch it?
And in what way did they out-produce everything? Can you give a quick summary?
I meant production value. They had a full light show, a final intro that was similar to the old OSL/MSL videos, and they introduced the players by having them stand on pillars against their lane opponent. The pillars formed a star when they zoomed out. It was pretty rad.
Hopefully the Proleague finals get a similar treatment.

I dont need no production if they take it to the beach

The last BW final had a laser show, confetti cannons, two squads of cheerleaders, a mascot dance off, fireworks and flamethrowers. I'd be very surprised if they didn't have good production for the first sc2 final after a six round build up.

The hybrid SPL was the first SC2 final.
that was a frankenleague, we do not acknowledge its existence
the 2nd best Dear v Savage finale totally reminded me of a Brood War base race b/w some big players (think the zerg was Jaedong iirc?) when the zerg got the pylon snipe at the last second with his final two zerglings \o/

That's obviously in denial. And the truth is the hybrid SPL will always be as the first SC2 finals.

is it just me or has the metagame just gotten way more interesting recently? zerg still seems to be best race "in general", but I'm just happy to see crazier strats work in all matchups (due to new HoTs & changes etc) and not just see infestor broodlord dominate allthefuckingtime... plus ZvZ is a bit more interesting as well...
At a guess, I assume Hydra realized he was behind and went for a roach push at the same timing TRUE did. They both did severe damage, but TRUE's army count was bigger to start with, so when he eventually went back, Hydra had no chance left.
I'm... not sure where this goes so I apologize in advance. I'm not sure why I didn't think of this earlier XD
Rough translation of interview with winner of Set + Show Spoiler +
6 True vs. Hydra
"Congrats on your win! How do you feel?" I... unexpectedly won and I feel even happier. "You were predicting you were going to lose? Because it was weird?" Haha no it's just that we did the same builds. "I said that you're representative of the weekend" Oh, how do I feel? Well all progamers do their best to show great games. "How do you comment on the replay?" He has a lot of roaches yet I was able to luckily get into his base. "Also you get his drone line. Also when you changed positions. Also, why is your ID True?" .... (this time he really had no comment LOL) ...At this time I had my roaches and thought I would win. "Did you check if he had upgrades?" Nope, I was overwhelmed with everything else that was occurring. "LOLLL Not checking for upgrades during such an important engagement?!" Well I normally would but I was so nervous as this was my first game back. "Well anyway, True what do you have to say to your fans?" I want to say thanks to my fans who always cheer me on. "They brought stuff for your 3rd anniversary!" Yeah, I didn't realize this until we arrived at the studio haha

neat. Can you do it frequently?
Yeah I usually do translations of interviews for the Friday/Saturday night (or Saturday/Sunday afternoon) matches in Proleague's Twitch chat since I'm from East Coast, USA aka EDT haha

T8 and CJ both have a 0.000001% of making the playoffs. This game just offically eliminates T8. SKT has to go 0-4 the entire way and CJ has to win 4-0 the rest of the way.
Cure wandering around in the middle of the map while effort was killing all his main base and not even lifting the buildings. He could try to attack or try to defend, anything would be better than stay in the middle of the map, by the time he decided what to do it was already over.
Bunny's is the third Terran in the world who can play that non-stop aggression - considering the other two Terrans are Innovation and Flash, I would say this kid is going be right up there along witht the best. His mechanics are insane just like innovation, he did throw away more units than he needed to, but that will come with experience, and the mechanics in the other matchups are much easier than TvZ.
