I'd say the series was 4/5 for a finals. Reached 7 games, had 2 fun games, most of the games were pretty close, and the stories behind the players were adequate. What are the 5/5 then? Cliche David vs Goliath? The only 5/5 Finals were Mvp vs Squirtle and MAYBE DRG vs MMA. 4/5 is really high considering most of the finals were 2/5 lol this one loses points for having less of a run up (not enough hype threads, interviews, pre-finals events) and having a crummy venue. Not really Zest or soO's fault, but they are part of what makes finals memorable.
I think it's possible to have 5/5 finals with much prehype, for example i think jjakji leenock was 5/5

Honestly, Mvp vs Squirtle was kind of poopy except for game 4 and game 7. Those games just happened to be insanely intense.

He also lost threw the other game on the huge map, where he had like 12k minerals and 10k gas saved up

Don't suppose there's any possibility for a rebroadcast happening today? 11 a.m. was an impossibility for me. =/
I actually woke up in time to see that the GSL stream was on, and turned it on only to find the trophy ceremony happening, so that sucks, but it'd be nice to watch the games.

Congratz Zest! I thought you would win but this was much closer than expected!
|
Does Zest get a sword as well?
So glad he won ^^

and set 1 is the only set which is being uploaded...

That game on Alterzim, he had like 12k minerals and 10k gas saved up. He was the first one to max out and  Zest just trading units for a reactionary composition against soO's army.That massacred infestors, that wasted fungals and the transition to MUTA ULTRALING?And the last game is the most frustrating. Zest just again waited sOo to attack and replace units lost against sOo's composition. sOo painful and disappointing to watch.I hope he will get knocked in the RO8 on season 2 so as Rain PartinG Soulkey steals the championship trophy.If Zest do timing attack/cannon rush, he can easily deflect and the short games were soO's favored and those long games were sOo close yet it's sOo late.sOo disappointing. Though I hate sOo now, SKT ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/1NuGXvx.png) is still the best ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/MsxcOXX.png) . Zest is like building an empty kingdom for now, but soon topples down without any battle.

Oh, are they making the finals available for non-subs to view?

It sucks that I had to leave after game five, just got back home and finally watched the last two games.
Shit, I was scared when Soo rolled across the map with 200/200 of Roaches FUCKING EVERYTHING in the last game.
Zest believed he could win if he could just get into macro games, and it seemed to pay off for him.
Good series overall, any finals that goes to a final game is usually pretty good value.

And what should he have done on Alterzim instead? I love how people keep on pointing out "huge bank, you see... must have been a throw!". No, it was not. He played the best composition possible for that map, since SHs don't work on Alterzim.
Not to mention that the only reason why Zest didn't have a huge bank himself is that he just started throwing away every stalker and zealot he had and got phoenix, archons, templar and tempests instead. Which led to him having a way higher quality army than soO - something that soO couldn't do because the only units of zerg that have this form of cost/supply relations are banelings, infestors and Broodlords. None of which would have helped him a great deal in that scenario, had he replaced ultras/corruptors/mutas with them.
