I'm bummed out that once again we're glorifying a shit show because of the weight of the series.

I don't understand how people enjoyed this series, there was what 6 cheeses/allins in total? Because some people prefer non-stop action and trading wits over slow, methodical games where players slowly gain and lose advantages. It's why we're all fan of different players, and the fact both styles are possible is what makes the game great and varied
This precisely. I mean, I would have preferred ONE epic slugfest in this BO7, but the non stop action got my hyped as hell!

Plus it wasn't only about the strategies it was also about the tension because of the prestige and the money that was on the line...

Oooh how cosmopolitan of you. You see things from other race's POV now. Well done

Sad that neither PartinG, Maru nor INnoVation were in the finals but sOs is an okay winner too.
Sad that HotS is coming to an end.

seems like it made no sense to complain in 2011 and that 2015 sample is pretty small. Ofc P did well, but let's give credit to the players.

No, I can see his point. The games weren't that good. Unfortunately, unlike myself he couldn't enjoy the other aspects of it like I (and you?) could

sOs won, so he was the better player today, but it could've gone both ways.
Teeny tiny changes in the last game and it could've ended when Life bust the natural the first or second time.
They both played really well and in the end one player has to win.

And we had so many different winners. Different styles, different names. It's really interesting that it's not dominated by 1 strategy, I think it's the diversity of Protoss. THey can do so many things that you cannot prepare against race, you have to prepare against the player. Where Protoss players can prepare against Terran/Zerg. OR maybe I am too tired and writing BS

That's just one set of data. Trust me, most of 2011 wasn't very fun when you didn't like terran match-ups

Matches can be epic for different reasons. Long macro games give you that "slow burn" epicness where both players are building up and trying to find incremental advantages; but short, back and forth games with all-ins and timing attacks are nice for the clutch starsense and micro. Like, when you know the stakes are high and the player has put everything on the line, and needs to win it all with just a handful of zerglings, that's epic too. So props to both Life and sOs, ggs, and gl in LotV!
(also, did anyone else get flashbacks to the Life/Parting GSL final where the last map was also Iron Fortress, and Life again did an early zergling rush? I wonder if sOs remembered....)
