Smart, but I think you know who I think deserved the final spot more. While I often times agree with you, I do disagree with you here. 'Deserving' is a stupid concept for eSports. You win or you lose and Alicia didn't play any better or worse, thats why he lost. He scouted (on the 4th map) that Taeja is going for something very greedy with the third base being insanely early, yet he went on to play his usual style without variation. He could have punished this build (especially with his opening) very hard but he didnt. The last game, he still did stick to his build and brought the same to the table while Taeja adjusted. He had information and used it. The same could have been done by Alicia but he simply didn't vary his play. If you believe Alicia deserved the spot in the finals more, could you elaborate why you think that way? | ||

Alicia is a great player, easily one of the best non-Kespa Protosses, but he has started to become predictable. It was the same way in his PvZ, where it was skytoss every game. Really entertaining player though | ||

Personally I don't really enjoy most interviews post match, just because they all boil down to the same questions. Koreans all seem to answer them very similarly, makes them rather dull to me all round. I just like how Semmlery doesn't look like he is sweating bullets about being in front of a camera | ||
