Wait, are the finals really (tentatively) going to be at: 13:30 GMT (+00:00)? I know this is in Europe, but that's super early.

Maybe semi finals will last 4 hours each, who knows :D


I guess they want to capture the Asian audience as well? This way I can catch the finals and still make it to my 9 am class on Monday.

It was a great series, but many of us think it was an anticlimactic ending. It isn't balance whine, it is game design.

And it is important to voice that, because we love SC2 and want it to change for the better.


The game was over before the widowmine hit, game design has nothing to do with it.

And this is why I hate Widow Mines. Why should such a cheap unit be able to kill so much so easily?

Yes it is a lot of limitations and generally doesn't do that much damage, but like the old BF Hellions, if you built enough of them, eventually you'll get the money hits and win a game just from those hits.




Really? You also complained about Fungal earlier :|

You wouldn't happen to be toss and think that Forcefields and Warp Gate is totally fine ? :p

How did Scarlett end up behind in the first game?
1) Reaper: Almost no dmg
2) Hellions: Almost no dmg
3) Banshees: Almost no dmg

... and suddenly Bomber was on 3 bases while Scarlett couldn't move out. Should she just have Roach/Bane all-inned her?


Bomber was on 3 CC and 3 Bases while Scarlett just started her third (which got killed by Banshees)

Super late third because she refused to take an early gas against a proxy Reaper.

Tourney is over. Taeja had his summer, bomber will never be a champion, jaedong is overrated, and who the fuck is first?

First is the first in this tournament.

The damage Bomber did was not direct. Its damage was done through delaying Scarlett's third until way after Bomber had established his.

In first game? She never fell behind, bcuz Bomber went full MKP with NR15 against zerg.
In fifth game? She was contained, because lings do not work against hellion repear banshee without getting surround and queens do not allow you to move out.

Seriously. Why are people complaining about those 2 mine hits when Bomber scrapped together an awesome contain (after a failed contain no less)?


That is exactly why people are complaining!

Bomber did an amazing job, had a nice lead, but then two Widow Mine hits ended the game! Those hits didn't showcase his skills.
??? They did? He manually targeted those mutalisks while keeping his marines alive and macro going.

alright let's do this prediction shit

aLive 3-1 First
Jaedong 3-0 Naniwa
Taeja 3-2 Rain including a 1 hour 30 minute game with BCs, mothership, tempests etc
Bomber 3-2 Scarlett in the sickest series in the history of sc2 (sorry Mvp vs Squirtle)

aLive 3-0 Jaedong
Bomber 3-1 Taeja including a game that tops game 3 of Taeja vs Innovation yesterday


Bomber goes up 3-0 in the finals with the sickest TvT we've ever seen only to then fall apart four times in a row, continuing Bomber's law and giving Innovation some company. aLive becomes WCS Season 2 champion and nobody cares and i will be one of 3 people to remember who won this tournament 2 weeks from now.

well, that went alright. aside from aLive messing up i was right about the overall results, even if the mapscores didn't work out entirely.

updated top 4 predictions:

First 3-2 Jaedong
Bomber 3-1 Taeja

Bomber 4-1 First

Yeah, really annoys me.

That was purely out of respect.

You guys....


you dont go shake people's hands after someone has lost their most important series in their life.

thats no respect


Handshakes are pretty universal sign of respect after a sporting event... Even after a team loses the super bowl/stanley cup/NBA finals/etc. the players still line up to shake hands.

Please, just get off it and stop with the design whine. You don't speak for "we", you presumptuous ass. Shut up, already.

good god, i love the widow mine, i got to see some INSANE MICRO from scarlett, no way would i change it if i get to see that kind of play.
