When I saw this thread at 58 pages I thought the day's games hadn't even started yet.
1. Massive hype on EG-TL, who didn't even make the playoffs.
2. Old stars not performing up to expectations, new stars yet to solidify their fanbase.
3. Leagues fragmented, lots of good players and good teams on the eSF side that aren't represented.
So it's no surprise that the excitement isn't really here yet for proleague. I personally hope that point #3 can be resolved at some point, I'd love to see a combined proleague featuring all the eSF teams.
Edit: And to stay on subject, I actually feel like it was SKT who got lucky with some wins. SKT may have the star power, but STX seemed better prepared and better coached.

I wonder what SKT will look like when BoxeR starts getting used to head coaching. They've got solid players (except for zergs, but hasn't that always been the case?), they just need to make it work. Easier said than done. STX on the other hand is really cool, I haven't heard much stuff from them about being a star-powered SPL-winning dynasty.
Obviously enough, HOTS =/= BW so we can't take this into account, but it looks like STX is hot and loaded.

I know I say this quite often, but is 58 pages of LR for SPL Playoffs common? wasnt around for BW but a quick glance at some old leagues looks like it's worse than BW (on I clicked on at 75 pages) but wayyyyy better than that proleague no one talks about BW STX vs SKT http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=140091apparently Bogus beat Fantasy there, too
This is gold.

I doubt bogus will lose again to cheesy play. Hopefully the SKT lineup can pick up their game a bit and win the second set.

GSTL and PL playoffs both got about 58 pages. If PL and GSTL combined we'd have 100 pages! Plus about 50 pages of endless, annoying arguments. yay
I still want Super Team League though

It wouldn't surprise me if he did though. Some top players simply aren't careful vs "inferior" opponents and still play greedy/blindy.

didn't catch a game of this, too bad. looks like it was really exciting. terrible times for EU though, but i know this isn't an EU event and i have no reason to complain (although GSTL is always watchable) 
good to see Innovation won the Ace, he would've been pretty down if he lost that too, i guess.
|
To bad it starts so early for us in the EU, would have loved to see this live but im not gettin up at 4 am on a saturday ^^

Please Bisu and Rain  I get so sad when you two lose. And if you lose now, there won't be as many games I can watch of you. And I really want to see BoxeR with the Team celebrating when you guys win the first ever Heart of the Swarm championship. So please, I beg of thee, start winning again so my heart will no longer ache every time I check results.
|
I'd love a WJS vs STX final.
It would finally stop the KT/SKT dominance
|
3 of my favorite korean protosses, parting, bisu, and rain all lost, in a loss for my favorite team.
i am sad bear

STX won three coinflips today. But the coin has two sides and it won't favor STX tomorrow.
what do you mean by that? just woke up ... pvp?
i just watched fantasy vs innovation, fantasy getting behind by not doing damage with the drop, snowballed into 20 supply lead by innvovation arround 10 min
outclassed? no.

Get it together boys.
I had a feeling old guard would do well though. BeSt doing what it takes in a big game.

um, did we have a lineup for tomorrow?

So disappointed in Rain and Bisu... I really thought Fantasy would have a big chance in the Ace though but that widow-mine was killing :S
Was there live and the studio was full, some people had to stand in the back. Hope SKT can comeback tomorrow with solid play from Rain and Fantasy.

nah. buh-bye skt1, your PvPlague on proleague wont be missed.
|
PvP is a useful skill toi have, yes?
|
Hopefully we get 2 more matches, still can go either way which is good.
|
Some really awesome games today! too bad we (and fanta) were so unlucky with the ace - good game sense from innovation though.
Mini played so well...
