yes, that's true, but calling a human being "not likeable" and criticizing him for the way he acts after winning is crossing the line. it's his once in a lifetime experience, not yours or anyone else's. i'm not saying players should be idra and brag about hating the fans, but the bitching and moaning about how players choose to celebrate their victories is creepy and weird.

another 2nd for the Dong! consistent at least?

The really problem of TvZ is when Zerg is behind, the game is over. But Terran, even behind can always come back.
So if Zerg doesn't do perfect scouting/reaction, engage, tech choice during the whole game : gg.
Really dessapointed to see, this. We know game was over like 10 minutes before...

Anyone have the view numbers?

since scarlett 2-3 Bomber in a nailbiting series, can we say Scarlett is the best ZvTer? SoulKey She's good, but IMHO, she isn't flexible enough. I have a feeling that if Bomber had actually pulled out that triple bunker on her on Planet S, she'd have gone down just as quickly, if not worse than Jaedong (ok fine, it's hard to screw up worse than sitting your 5 range queens on low ground). And she keeps letting hellion packs in. What she does seem to have are stellar mechanics and a pretty good knack for picking engagements.
lol it's too bad soulkey wasn't here
with Innovation getting taken out in TvT and TvP, SK would have taken the championship with ease.

Laughs aside, it's a great result, and if only it proves that he keeps improving and improving.

Entirely agreed. Honestly, it just seems like people avoiding bans for balance whining by directing their frustration at some petty detail.

Scarletts ZvT was miles ahead of Jaedongs.
She could've made the finals great, but alas. ZvZ would be better than ZvT? You mad. Games would've probably been closer and the storyline of foreigner in the finals would've made it much better for me at least. Old story: they should have trained harder and played better. Scarlett might be the second best player in the world. She barely lost to Bomber. I wish we could see her play Taeja. True, those 16 were the worlds best players after all. Imo the next months power rank should reflect that.
.... SOULKEY

I am personally looking forward to a change of meta in TvZ.
Like, it has to change somehow right? This muta/ling/bling vs constant stream of marines is just not working, and the Zergs are putting themselves under disadvantage whenever they choose such a build...
yeah blizz really need to do something about it .. since roach-hydra is not as powerful and viable as muta-ling-bane ..

Scarlett showed that it is of course possible to comeback...
I really love all this whining after every tournament.

This tournament will be remembered for the fact that Bomber won, and that there were a ton of awesome games that weren't in the finals. Oh, and that JaeKong still exists.

Except he only played ZvP the finals.
You can tell he hasn't worked on his ZvT at all once he saw his group - which was a decent strategy for him as it took him to the finals at least.

Is it just me, or is anyone else getting really bored with just a bunch of rallied barracks and marines winning these tournaments? If I'm a new player trying to get into Starcraft, this isn't all that exciting. It's why SC2 will always be nothing more than a niche market and not a mainstream e-sport. rofl JD chose to not switch anything up. Bomber actually made a bunch of adjustments.
Adjustements = make moar marines, fasteeeer!

Bomber winning has breathed new life into sc2 for me. This guys a fuckin G

Well that was the most logical conclusion. Bomber's Law and the JaeKong curse both in full effect at the same time. Jaedong always loses the finals, and Bomber disappointed us by destroying the amazing Jaedong storyline, (you know, the one where Jaedong finally overcame his ZvP weakness and looked like he had emerged as a top contender,) and then we got this very anticlimactic ending ceremony, rushed and unemotional.

You're right, it sucks so much it's depressing. A solid macro is all you need in the match-up. And some brains obviously.
