Notice any pattern emerging between the series you listed? Like the correlation between "Terran" and "good games"? It's almost as if people have bias Oô Terran matchups are historically pretty good to watch.
For the people who like them. I had a 2-3 month period of my life where I had a real hard time falling asleep. The trick I found at the time was to watch TvT Bo5s.

There have been good pvz games, and good zvz games. Freaky vs Life is top 5 best game ever played, and thats something thats a "fun" game.
Yes, and how often do games like that happen in those MUs?
Often enough for you to get your hopes up that the series will be full of them?
The series between Life and sOs?
Maybe I'm projecting, but it sounds to me like you're pussyfooting around saying that half of the MUs in Heart of the Swarm are shit. Just say that and I'll agree with you! But expecting something different from these two players in this finals is silly. They put everything on the line in every single game, they were fearless, and that made for a great show. Not a great competition, maybe, but a great show.

Freaky is the only player that was ever loved for using mass infestors. I think it's because he was on NSH as well as his game vs that protoss (ace?) that resulted in carriers. He also only used them lol I believe it was CranK on Entombed Valley. Freaky's other game with mass infestor that was great also had battlecruisers in it (I forget who it was against, but it WAS a thing). To be fair, early on Destiny was also loved for his use of mass infestor. vs MMA? on Atlantis Spaceship
That's the one!
Man, that is some SICK memory you've got. Kudos.

hyvaa produced a surprising amount of great macro games. when he was on point the dude was legit good. and of course he knew how to game people. Hyvaa was the greatest cheeser of them all. He knew how to play macro, but he just prefered to cheese.
Because why win or lose in 18 minutes when you can win or lose in 8.

Indeed. I'm pretty sure it is the other way around. So weird some people can't take different opinions, it is what makes things interesting for me really

Would have been beautiful if he had also won the last. But sOs played fantastic. It was well deserved and the games were great to watch (even for a terran like me). Also last time sOs won Blizzcon in 2013 the crowd didn't really cheer that much for him, since he took away the Blizzcon from Jaedong. Everyone wanted Jaedong to win. This time when he came out of that booth the crowd really cheered for him. Well deserved! Fantastic ending to HotS 
Yoda did actually.

TBF Freaky vs Life was good for 2 reasons:
1) it was Freaky so it had mass infestors
2) Life accidentally researched OL drops and just rolled with it
otherwise it would've ended much sooner with Life amoving Freaky

Man I wish I was in Anaheim for this weekend. Probably some fun parties going on. Toronto gave me a taste of SC2 events and now I want more D:
So... what should I do now? I'm bored, and Linkin Park doesn't sound too fun to me
