Yeah they shouldn't do that many ceremonies and announcements overall. Most of them have been awkward. You don't need the players interviewed that often when they obviously feel more uncomfortable than anything.
ZvZ has also developed. In JD vs Impact, the latter had the overall better strat I believe. He always blocked the entrance with buildings/queens to deny any scouting by opponents. This way, he could suddenly surprise with 10,000 lings or a huge roach bust. The game is too fast paced to react to this in time.

Just gaining valuable experience. Just being in the vicinity of so much awesomeness made me feel like my SC2 skill was increasing hundredfold. I will do better next time
I've just watched the champagne ceremony. Once they reach the Semi-Finals they should just bring MaNa in to give a champagne opening lesson to everybody.

Life's hold against Stardust (game 3 I think, the map was Overgrowth) was epic. MC/TY was cool (except game 1) with the seemingly impossible MC come-backs but very balance-whine inducing indeed. I quite liked Snute vs Jaedong game 1 too.

Why impact WHYY??
You should probably be saying Why Jaedong WHHYYY?? He was the one who lost after all.
Fair point I am not sure if you would agree (and i would find it understandable if you don't), but imo a JD vs Life final would have been closer. I am really happy for Impact though, i think that tournament run gave him so much exposure and a lot of new fans cause of it.

Impact vs Innovation final would have been closer and more interesting. Maybe we should blame Innovation

Just saw MC vs TY series and I sadly have to agree, I understand some people get angry about that. One race comes out as a lot more resilient and forgiving in that series and that race is not Terran 0.0. Well played by MC though, but, especially given the current metagame, I don't know if TY is to blame.
