wow i tuned off the stream when it was 60 supply for hero and 100 for jaedong and all hero had left was 2 immortals in a prism, i thought game was over i wouldve most certainly been one of the bans xD lucky me!
I'm sad for The Dong. But what an amazing comeback by HerO. I really don't know whom I should root for now. Polt & HerO hwaitiiiiiiiing! Make these final games fucking awesome! :D

Because Hero is Protoss, and we all know how many people feel about Protoss right now. Jaedong is also a HUGE fan favorite, probably the most popular SC2 progamer right now.

It's better with players who have this built-in tragedy and comedy in their fandom. Like Bomber (unless you're Wintex). They take losses so much better.
You'd think Jaedong fans would be in a similar place by now instead of expecting him to win every tournament and blaming balance when he doesn't. This is the Blizzcon finals all over again.
Oh fuck off. Even writers on TL believed Jaedong was the superior player at BlizzCon in terms of mechanics and decision making, but was defeated by purely from cheese. Do you really think sOs would have won BlizzCon if he played this matches straight up? He just exploited the power of his broken race.
I like Jaedong too but all you have to do is WATCH even just G1 of Blizzcon (instead of just assuming TOSS IMBA) and see that Jaedong had a huge, huge lead and got massively outplayed in the lategame. So what you're saying is just obviously, blatantly untrue.
I think Hero might cheese him out in 1-2 games...but lets hope it'll be 4-0 polt;)
4-0 is not unlikely, Rain is imo the better player and he beat him.
HerO's cheesebook is way better than Rain who is strongest in standard play. This could get close but I really want Polt to win because I am super annoyed at HerO and protoss in general.
Even as a terran that game was so annoying to watch. Yes JD had a bad trade at HerO's natural but HerO failed 1st zealot attack, he failed 1st immortal push, in the end it was even 3 base zerg vs. 1 base protoss (until JD's third died) and he still wins because that map + forcefields = immortals with 60 kills.
1. He "failed" the first zealot attack but they traded minerals for minerals so it didn't do too much honestly. 2. He "failed" the first immortal push but once again huge trades and he kept his immortals alive 3. You don't get 60 kills on an immortal without SICK micro with the warp prism. Deserved.
Dude, if you think loading up a unit in a dropship so it doesn't die and forcefielding so that it can never be hit anyway is really hard to achieve, and if a 60 kill count immortal in that scenario really blows your mind, you really have little to no experience or expertise in what you're talking about lol. It's really easy and if it impresses you it's only relative to your own skill, rather to anything that impresses anyone GM+, or for many masters players. Seriously, Blizzard's own micro challenges are even harder than that. It's a two base all in, it's old and it's what protoss players do all the time. A career pro like herO not fucking up so badly that he lets his immortals die completely unecessarily is really a matter of expected and basic competence than it is any kind of 'incredible feat' from which we may derive a sense of 'deserves to win' based on a 'display of skill'. TBH, herO has first class micro but nothing about executing that all-in will ever demonstrate that lol.
So how about you have a 60-kill immortal vs JaeDong? Exactly. Shut up and appreciate HerO or you're just some bitter zerg player?
I'm sorry, you seem to be incapable of actually making points within the context and have nothing to offer that is actually worthwhile toward any end other than your own sense of having said something of validity and the unfounded sense of armchair sc2 intellectual equilibrium that you get out of that. I'm probably a bigger HerO fan than you are, btw. Odds are

Because different races shouldn't be allowed to have different strengths in an asymmetrical RTS game? Because different strategies with different strengths and weaknesses shouldn't exist? Because micro players should never be able to beat macro players?
Hero won with skill. JD lost using skill, because he made mistakes. THIS IS HOW THE GAME IS SUPPOSED TO WORK!

If hero didn't 4gate/cannon rush every game except the one jaedong 6 pooled on people might respect the result a bit more. A 15 minute 'all in' sure makes people happy though thats for sure
Eh. That's not really why at all.
Well I'm glad you illuminated us on the reason why thats not it
what a Sunday Final for IEM. Very impressive games with good production make it really entertaining to watch. I wish the casters knew what they were talking about though...

Yeah JD threw tons of roaches to get a few probes, a few sentries and an immortal instead of massing up stuff
What pisses people of is not the fact that hero played really well it is the fact that he shouldnt have won after two failed allins. Not that hero didnt play well but after 2 failed allins you should have not a snowballs chance in hell to get back into it other than your enemy throwing it hard.
