Seed's run in particular was amazing, defeated Symbol trough a reverse sweep 3-2, defeated Byun the same way, 3-2 displaying incredible mental fortitude and patience and in the grand final he dismantled MC displaying superior knowledge of PvP at the time and brilliant micro. Too many people here have the nerve to downplay the efforts of the past champions, they may have only shone for 2 months but they where the best players of those two months, give them the respect they deserve. On topic, interesting game from effort and Hurricane, really crazy scenario, its a bit too bad effort didn't read the situation better, I think he could have crushed that 2 base push, though I guess Hurricane was banking on forcing lots of units and recalling out if the situation went sour. Still glad effort won. Seed vs Symbol was incredibly sloppy and it's a shame MC wasn't in shape when the finals were played. Jjakji had an insanely lucky run to even reach the finals in the first place, riddled with mediocre and poor games, although to his only credit the finals was fantastic. | ||

He's like the least distinguishable zerg I've ever seen. His run was better than Jjakji's but worse than Seed's. Yet, unlike Seed he did stick around for just a little bit longer. Still, of the 3 Jjakji has had the greatest longevity of the 3 considering he stayed in code S a little bit longer after winning, almost solely kept NSH alive, made a decent run in Iron Squid, and won a fairly good tournament to qualify for IPL4. It might sound like I'm desperate, but really all 3 of those champs have so few results I need something to distinguish them with. | ||

Still glad effort won. "superior knowledge of PvP", aka 4 gate. I agree 100% though, it's easy to laugh at "washed up" champions now, but a win is a win, and no matter how you get there, winning code s is god damn hard. No-one is saying that Seed/Jjakji/Sniper etc are better than Mvp. But at the time of their respective championships, they were. | ||

On paper Oz should've won that 3-0, but he made lots of mistakes and ended up losing. And I guarantee that if CoCa had took part in Code S Jjakji would have never made it to Playoffs.  Jjakji-Leenock still delivered the best finals in terms of games. He did get good draws and lucky consequences. Then again, so did Sniper. Seed actually beat very good opponents and various races, etc. At least Jjakji is more relevant than Sniper now. | ||

Yes, he could have tried it, but he had to gamble: if he loses the probes it was worth nothing. actually i wonder why Zerg didn't send 3 or 4 mutas over, just to slowly kill buildings. Protoss ofc tried to dry out the Zerg, I'll never understand the last attack | ||

Were the finals amazing? Sure. But people tend to forget how incredibly poor and lucky the rest of his run was. | ||
