This .gif pretty much sums up the joy and sorrow of Starcraft. I do feel bad for Dear because he clearly seems to be one of the best players right now, and happened to narrowly lose an epic series that either player could have won. It would be just as much of a shame if JD had lost as he'd played and scouted really well in some of the games he lost.
I can only wish that the finals would be half as epic as the JD/Dear series, but I think it's likely I'll be let down.
Oh man, he stopped playing when the pylon was spotted? That's rough
No, a lot of stuff happened after that. Pylon was killed, but Dear re-established the pylon at the Xel'Naga tower as he prepared to begin his push.
JD researched burrow and burrowed a ton of units on his creep to ambush Dear's army and kill sentries when Dear came to make his push (I can't remember if he left some roaches unburrowed to bait the army but I think he did). Then JD sprung the trap after Dear committed his units on top of the burrowed units and killed the sentries and a bunch of stalkers. Dear's remaining stalkers retreated to the Xel'Naga tower and pylon where they were surrounded and annihilated.
It was while he was retreating his units after his army got smashed that Dear put his head in his hands, he knew it was over then.
Back when I was watching the game I didn't quite got why all the fuzz about the spotted pylon, really. Not that a big of deal.

I feel like people are giving Maru too much credit for his TvZ...Scarlett showed that he falls to standard (but well executed) ling bane muta. Bomber on the other hand....that guy looked SO scary against SK.

Maru improved ever since actually. Yes, i am serious, he became even better. Bomber on other hand abused the best advantage he has over SK: experience. Ask MC and Mvp, they abuse the same skill to kill Soulkey.

Summon the Ashbringer
I know the Ashbringer is a bigass fucking sword (something about the Naruu things? My WoW lore is really rusty these days) but how good is it in Hearthstone? If it's not instant gg I'm disappointed
