Lingbane is only frustrating if you suck at it :D Yea what is frustrating about LotV ZvZ is that you can't scout your opponent before making very very important desicions about how you play Much different from bw/wol/hots zvz yes. Then again you can kill pool first with 13/12 and hold 13/12 with hatch first so it's weird a bit. I think HotS was a bit better, WoL I didn't really watch a lot of ZvZ because I was still avoiding it, since it was my most hated MU to watch BY FAAR in BW Only prefered hots cause I liked to 8 pool a lot. Current zvz is more stable since 13/12 is weaker than an 8 pool vs hatch first.

HotS PvP was so boring imo... To me PvP only got better, WoL was the worst, ZvZ had to wait for LotV.

Am I crazy or does that Gigabyte ad use a song from final Fantasy 8? I'm like 99% sure. How the hell did they get the rights. O.o

I'm going to bed so here's the witty remark I would have made for either outcome of the finals If ByuN wins: Not enough 0's in the prize pool for $O$ to care If sOs wins: Well, time to disappear for 3 years again ByuN

You may have missed Zest's entire run in 2014.

I am sooo happy sOs won, but I damned hate these disruptor wars :-( So much random included in it. All the game was sOs leading, but it was all the time so tense, each shot could have completely changed the result. I am happy, the final is not PvP ...

So torn, love both of them, i am probably a bigger fan of sOs but he always win grand finals and its getting old

Yeah lots of people agree with you. But for me it's the opposite so far.

I had no idea why someone lost or won the fight.

I thought HotS PvP was smarter and had players predict/play probabilities more. The disruptor micro outweighs all other decisions in the game, but it's easy to quantify for spectators I guess. I'm not invested in it one way or the other.
I only want WoL TvT back. FUCK

At this rate I might actually be awake to catch proleague live
