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  50 shades of +2 blink | ||

What on earth was fun about it? Dunno about you guys but I don't find 2 base blink all in +2 with a 3rd particularly fun, nor do I find 14 speed/bling all in fun, nor do I find dt rushes fun. Maybe I should under go therapy with Artosis or something so he can teach me how fun immortal all ins are. | ||

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....) Life seemed to be using a lot of previous material in the finals. He had similar builds compared to his match vs Classic on moonlight and coda as well :D | ||

Yes, it was close, and yes there was cheesing, but there was cheesing from both sides. The very last game STARTED with Life trying to cheese sOs, but the latter defended well and won the game. And boy, the games were a lot of fun to watch, cheeses or not. they both were trying to cheese without scouting and life got the short end of the stick. it wasn't sos being better. there is a thing with protoss that made people hate the race throughout the history of sc2 more than the other 2 rates, and sos embodies that quality very well. he denies scouting, tries to mislead the opponent and wins with very good micro. he relies entirely on his mindfuck plan to work, if the enemy scouts it he usually loses. i didn't feel disappointed at all when he beat rain, in that series he seemed to outclass his opponent in every way. now he just seemed to win the build order war in the won games and lose them in the lost ones. he did the exact same thing in the series vs mkp and vs jaedong (he was clearly better than jaedong in that series though). he is obviously a monster but very reliant on a volatile style and i just don't like it when he wins this way. | ||

OR maybe I am too tired and writing BS You know, I've actually never considered that before... I dunno. I feel like for me, Scarlett kind of proved that Protoss IS a bit gimicky, by off racing against DRG in a tournament and winning. Then again, I suppose that does absolutely nothing to disprove your point, nobody had seen Scarlett's PvZ before in a tournament so DRG had no way of preparing for it. And yes, it was one game, but it was a game that spoke volumes because Scarlett put her money where her mouth was. | ||

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  A perfect description, thanks! | ||

Maybe... | ||
