Such a disappointing finals after so many great series in this tournament... I mean they could have picked ANY series from this tournament (besides the Polt/Naniwa disaster) and it would have been better than this...

Games probably couldn't have been much worse, unfortunately.

Still, thanks to IEM for a great tournament. The finals were weak but that's just PvP. There have been some amazing games - Hyun vs Hero, Revival vs Jjajki, Hero vs Polt etc etc. Let's be grateful for those.

Our gratitude is all the reward those players will get, anyway.

I really wish artosis et al would shut the fuck up about hero not winning "Ahny Mohney!!!" while were watching him sitting distraught and ccrushed in his booth. Just cruel.

I very much agree. Also, I think this format is just awful.

I'd like to thank sOs for showing me that I only need to 2 proxy gate and defend proxy gate to be good at PvP

that was a great ceremony, the smoke and music, check and trophy, if only the actual finals were good =\

edit: just wanted to say that sOs is definitely a great player but i would have loved to see a non mirror in the final, or at least less cheese

polt vs sOs would have been exciting as hell

Shitttttty finals.

At least it's satisfying that the all-or-nothing tournament had such a bad finals. Suck it IEM.

The winner takes all gamble was a disaster. Let's never do that again.

Why so? except for the PvP, this tournament format was alot more interesting. Protoss is just boring to watch.

This winner takes it all format is brutal, haha. Poor hero, never seen someone as crushed as him. Still, props to sOs for being an absolute beast.

As a SC2 player I'm disgusted that someone won 100k from the bullshit I just watched. Terrible, just terrrible.

It wasn't just from this one PvP, so stop trivializing the situation. Maybe you should watch the entire tournament (or how about his entire career) and consider all the hard work the winner has put in to practicing and getting to this level before you dismiss his earnings so easily. It's well deserved.
