So, can anyone explain to me how the 2 wins by Hyun get largely not worth viewing votes and Game 5 gets 63% saying it's the best game ever?

And people wonder why Naniwa fans are viewed as so obnoxious.


It's not the game itself, but the situation surrounding it obviously(Hyun 3hatching every game and it being the deciding match). Quite easy to understand I would say.


This is wrong. It says nothing about the quality of the game as the poll should.
The last game was awesome for the fans but it was crap as it was decided by hyun not scouting and going 3 hatch.


It says everything about the game and if you can't understand then I can't help you.


It says nothing out of context. I know you are happy but the last game was nothing great since it was a BO win.
There were better games to deserve 5 stars.


Better games in terms of what? Pure skill? The SC2 viewing experience isn't just about robotic mechanics or performances in long, epic games.

edit: The context surrounding the game makes it exciting and a "good game".

Naniwa coming from 0-2 to 3-2 advancing to the finals in a nearly all korean finish has got to be the most impressive thing a foreigner has ever done, regardless of winning or losing the grand finals.

So? Scarlett is obviously best foreigner!!!

It's actually really cool that both NA and EU have produced a player that is a legit threat to top koreans, and that they are so close in terms of apparent skill and success. I would love to see a Bo5/7 between them.

I'm not really fan of Nani, but DAMN, that was awesome. Nothing is more exciting, than cheese in the deciding match.

Except for long intense macro game/base trades that end in ridiculous micro arena type battles.

I don't know man... Sure, I love long macro games, but I think it's great to have one or two short cheese/all-in games in long BO5 or BO7 series. Also, in my opinion, every top player should be able to execute few cheeses and all-ins. If someone wants to be considered one of the best players in the world, he should have those builds prepared, and should be very good in executing them, becouse it can bring you easy wins or it can stop your oponent from being greedy. But it's only my humble opinion.

Yeah, none of our players has won any major thing lately after being discounted for years.

Bomber winning a tournament in Europe? Pretty sure Europe is not Korea.


You only count GSL then?

Ah, cool, checking the LR, seeing Naniwa fans and Toss player sin general being glad at proxy gates in last game, and i am little warm inside hoping that Curious won't go full retard to lose to a player, that can't even produce a single good macro game in HotS.

Do P/T even stand a chance against Z in a macro game? The BL into Ultra into BL switch is just deadly.

Why does Life always draw a pentagram with his drone before making the hatch? Is that the source of power?
