Can't feel the hype without the animated gifs. Maru 4-2 Dream. Should be a good final unlike IEM Katowice.

Well it will certainly be a shorter final than Katowice.

Depends on what you mean by "shorter" and "certainly" .
Also, Lorning is a LR bonjwa, I don't even know how to do the HTML GIF stuff he does.

Average game time will be shorter. There's no way you disagree, Zest and Trap played 4 macro games, Maru and Dream will either kill each other with one of the early aggressions found in the current TvT meta quickly or just yolodrop everything into the other's base at ~15 minutes. Every game. They aren't going to put on a 45 minute macro clinic, it's not their style.

It's very likely average game time will be shorter, but not 100% certain. Anyway, it feels likely we'll go on to 6 or 7 games so the total game time will probably be about the same if not greater.

Dream will 4-0 Maru with one-base builds, each game will last less than 10 minutes, and you know how it will be?
GLORIOUS.
Everyone will go full "PvP best mirror" after that.

That's not really glorious. TvT can be really good if you have the right players. If every TvT was Flash vs Bbyong (Sandisk Shoutcraft) or Flash vs TaeJa (IEM Toronto), I'd have voted for TvT in the "best mirror" thread. But sadly, most are like Maru vs Dream in the group stages of SSL. I also haven't seen any deviation from that style yet by Dream, but I imagine he'll mix it up, he seems quite good at preparation.

I consider every TvT series that delivers games worthy of the darkest era of 4g vs 4g PvP to be glorious.

By my estimation, that should currently be like 50% <.<

You can have a gentleman's agreement to play bio tank, but try strange one-base shit before transitioning to bio-tank d:

How to become undisputed king of terrans :

1 - win nothing for 2 years
2 - win OSL
3 - win nothing for 2 years
4 - win NSSL


You forgot the "be the only relevant Terran in Korea for half a year" part though, that's something


Okay I thought you guys were being serious, lol. I always fall in the troll's trap :D
