Most people also thought that Rain would be the first player from SK Telecom to win WCS Korea. It looks like one of those predictions will be wrong.
There are no STX SouL though, only SouL now. And i am waiting for SouL.key now :D

The better players won anyways. The better players today.
That's the thing with SC2, it's about the 'better players today' rather than about the better players overall
That's how it is in every competition, you need to either crest, or have a sort of poor form from the other side.
In tennis it's somewhat common for the top players to lose the first set, but part of their skill is in their ability to come up with a new game plan and recover form during the match.
I have nothing against the players, I am sure dear and soo and even trap have great skills and they deserve the victory.
But let me explain why this is, unfortunately, killing the viewship and the scene. Sc2 isn't getting any new fans anytime soon. And these kespa talent doesn't carry any old BW fans over. BW fans are still in bw scene since they hate sc2 so much. So what happens when kespa talents knock out old fan favors, is that fans of old times will simly move away from sc2 scene until their Heroes return. Now those like mkp neastea, MVP and seed, or leenock, jjakji and drg might not ever come back. Therefore, the sc2 will just keep on shrinking.
No fresh blood in audience, new talents do more damage than contribution, especially when they are from kespa, that old fans find hard to connected due to the old "elephant in the room" drama. It's cold and unfair.
This will particular hurt if there'd ever be a region lock. Just imagine that neastea MVP and mkp retire and Gsl is ruled by new kespa nobles.
The key is how to attract new audience, to grow the fan base for the new talents. But that blizzard is so struggled in.
This is so true for me. I haven't been watching much SC2 at all lately, but especially with Dear and soO in the finals I really just don't give a shit to watch it. Not only is PvZ one of my least favorite matchups, but it's a PvZ with 2 guys I don't give a crap about. If either soulkey or maru was in there I'd probably watch it, but because it's 2 brand new guys again I just don't care for it. Guess I don't have to ruin my sleep schedule to wake up at 4am though, so that's a plus.
Super tournament was awesome. so was season 5 2012. really underrated finals between Sniper and HyuN. It was actually one of the better GSL finals imo. Worst was season 1 2013 for me. the last wol GSL

I will however, root for the new Protoss champion. I figure that I need to do something positive for the scene. It's unfair to their hard work.Cheer for the new guys if you could!!!!
any chance to find the vods EASY ? i mean without going wcs korea site and lucky find them after 10 minutes search in the wrong order and with high spoilers ?

no best ! finaly a protoss is back in finals and soo is the funnier final enemy because soulkey would make 4-0 rape as his zvp is unbeatable, and so its the BEST that could happen

Funniest thing ever is that according to Soulkey his best MU is ZvZ. And ZvP used to be his worst pre WCS KR S1 :D

I actually forgot that this is a GSL final with a Protoss in it. Its been a while since that's happened. I still think SoO will win it though. GSL hates Protoss
EPT
