I just came back from IEM Toronto, and it was so awesome seeing Flash return to god status.

I was hoping to have Zest win at least one more game, but overall it was great.

Let's hope this is a sign that more tournaments will come to Canada.

IEM Montreal lets go!

Had a great time at the venue and wonderful to see Flash take his first championship on Canadian soil. Anyone have the numbers on the peak viewers and total viewers for the streams?

The seating wasn't very large, but during the grand finals, there were three layers of people standing around the seating area. I would estimate about 1500 were watching it live. it was packed yes.

KT finals - disappointing.


How is having the best players in the finals disappointing

Well, they're not exactly very exciting players to have in the final. Also that's team kill from Korea - always weird games can expected from it.

Snute was 2-0 up against Flash which is extremely impressive and having him in the final would be a lot more exciting - if I had to choose I would hope for Snute - Life final.


I actually agree, any other combination of Zest / Yoda / Life vs Flash / Snute / Taeja would have been more hype, had Snute beaten Flash and team killed Taeja (both very possible) it would have been the most epic hype finals.


That sounds boring to me! Flash being in the finals was the most hype it could get. His story is way better than having snute in the finals. Flash rarely goes to foreign tournaments. Snute is at every foreign tournament. The hype comparison just can't be matched.

Flash vs anyone would have made it hype!

But I think Flash vs Snute would have been more epic, only cuz Zest doesn't have much of a story behind him.

The only story was the KT team kill, but that gets boring fast.

Flash vs Zest set out to prove who are the best players from the best SC2 team in the world, not good enough story?

Although that is a good story, I like it when both sides have separate stories. Adds more variety.

For example, one player is the underdog that climbed through hell and had to beat champion after champion. The other is Flash's story, a veteran that fell off the horse and now has something to prove again.

And lets be honest, if it was a JD vs Flash grand finals, everyone watching would keep their eyes glued to the screen for that story!

KT crushing overrated players is never boring. I especially liked how the smirk on Taeja's face disappeared after the second game LOL

Strange how Taeja has better vT, better vZ and better vP ELO than Flash, but still falls behind in the overall ELO

Will we see a Flash vs Jaedong finals at Blizzcon? Someone calculate the probability of this happening.

as a first match it seems to be less than 0.1% chance, since WCS Predictor didn't track it as a likely first round match
here are their most likely seedings though, keep in mind some mutual exclusivity may apply
Flash has a ~ 2.81 % chance to get the #11 seed at Blizzcon.
Flash has a ~ 2.78 % chance to get the #12 seed at Blizzcon.
Flash has a ~ 2.31 % chance to get the #10 seed at Blizzcon.
Flash has a ~ 2.29 % chance to get the #13 seed at Blizzcon.
Flash has a ~ 1.82 % chance to get the #14 seed at Blizzcon.
Flash has a ~ 1.78 % chance to get the #16 seed at Blizzcon.
Flash has a ~ 1.68 % chance to get the #15 seed at Blizzcon.
Flash has a ~ 1.63 % chance to get the #9 seed at Blizzcon.
Flash has a ~ 0.57 % chance to get the #8 seed at Blizzcon.
Flash has a ~ 0.14 % chance to get the #7 seed at Blizzcon.
Flash has a ~ 0.05 % chance to get the #6 seed at Blizzcon.
Flash has a ~ 0.03 % chance to get the #5 seed at Blizzcon.
Flash has a ~ 0.01 % chance to get the #4 seed at Blizzcon.
Jaedong has a ~ 14.07 % chance to get the #14 seed at Blizzcon.
Jaedong has a ~ 13.46 % chance to get the #13 seed at Blizzcon.
Jaedong has a ~ 13.05 % chance to get the #12 seed at Blizzcon.
Jaedong has a ~ 12.67 % chance to get the #15 seed at Blizzcon.
Jaedong has a ~ 12.57 % chance to get the #11 seed at Blizzcon.
Jaedong has a ~ 10.1 % chance to get the #10 seed at Blizzcon.
Jaedong has a ~ 8.46 % chance to get the #16 seed at Blizzcon.
Jaedong has a ~ 5.6 % chance to get the #9 seed at Blizzcon.
Jaedong has a ~ 2.25 % chance to get the #8 seed at Blizzcon.
Jaedong has a ~ 1.45 % chance to get the #7 seed at Blizzcon.
Jaedong has a ~ 0.55 % chance to get the #6 seed at Blizzcon.
Jaedong has a ~ 0.19 % chance to get the #5 seed at Blizzcon.
Jaedong has a ~ 0.09 % chance to get the #4 seed at Blizzcon.
Jaedong has a ~ 0.05 % chance to get the #3 seed at Blizzcon.
Jaedong has a ~ 0.02 % chance to get the #2 seed at Blizzcon.

we can do some basic naive calculations just multiplying the %s (won't be 100% accurate but should be a decent estimation)
looks like Jaedong with a #6 seed could face Flash with a #11 seed would be about 0.015%
or Jaedong #5 vs Flash #12 would be about 0.0053%
so yea pretty unlikely for a first round match
