Not sure how you can say that. How many real, quality macro games have there been? Lots of one and two basing going on, feels like WoL.

Iron Squid had the best crowds. IEM Cologne had the best games. Lots of tournaments had better storylines including like half the GSL seasons. This production value and crowd is cool but overall it's a meh tournament for me. Worth watching for sure, but not amazing by any stretch

Its not only the Zergs.
I will never understand why blizzard decided to give a lesser players so many possibilities to win against a better player. I hate almost all the BS tactics, no matter the race. One Cheese per race is fine I guess, but there is so much to choose from as toss, and it even got worse with LOTV. It really keeps me from loving sc2 anymore.
It of course gets more frustrating the less skill you have. Since the allin does somehow often have an advantage, and not "defenders advantage", I lose on ladder quite often to players that never scout, have a third of my apm, in the replay it shows they are not understanding the game at all, just blindly playing their build... things like that shouldn't work. "Scout more" is the biggest BS tip ever heard, sometimes even pros don't scout hidden BS...

First criterion of the quality of a tournament should be the quality of the games, and we're just not there.

Blizzcon was a thousand times more exciting, nearly every series was great.

It's pretty hilarious then that you are qualifying a tournament as the best in 3 years while also completely ignoring game quality. That's like calling a car the best made in 3 years even though it drives like shit, or a concert the best ever even though the music sucked.

I forget the exact Waxangel quote but essentially it was that tournament organizers have control over 60% of how good the tournament is the rest is up to how good the finals are. This tournament has the 60% but for me it's about more than the finals. The games in general haven't been good. If the finals are objectively good then I'll be very happy but if they're bad games and a white guy wins and everyone overhypes it I'm gonna be sad
