But this final certainly didn't help make the case for a WTA format lol. good for those who were against it then. I find it a bit sad, because as said earlier it will be measured on the finals and not the way there, which was a freaking awesome way. But yeah next time someone tries this they will have even more opposition. | ||

When we look back on this in 6 months it won't be my god that Jjakji vs Revival series was godly, it will be remember that time sOs proxy double gated his way to 100k. Thanks IEM! Just like noone remembers scarlett bomber, or polt's run at iem köln, right? | ||

After amazing games we get a shit finals and the excitement of the story line of SOS winning 100k is lessened due to him winning 100k at blizzcon already. It's old hat for him now. No storyline of omg this player just won 100k for the first time ever in his life! I reckon that he's only won 100k tournaments so far though. :O | ||

Let's never do that again. 4 days of wins for herO pissed down the drain in 20 minutes of the worst final in history, jesus. Though I feel really bad for herO (and I was cheering for him), and though this final was by many standards quite poor (though not by the series planning one, sOs played that really well), I still think it was something to try out once. And I think this is the reason for which we got so many awesome games in the bracket, but in the current metagame with a lot of protoss, that could also lead (and it did) to such a final. So I wouldn't call that a disaster, but rather an experience with its drawbacks and its advantages. Because let's be honest. It's a shame, but if you want people to give it all, you got to put a lot of money on the table. Make it this "allin-ish", and you'll get some of the best SC2. I'm totally not in favor of doing this often, though. Once a year could be a good frequency. | ||
