I guess it looks bad if a teamless guy beats a kespa player. Maybe that was a huge narrative in korea, considering that tastosis kept mentioning it over and over again as well

I still don't know what you are guys smoking. The finals were absolutely glorious and I enjoyed them as much as ever.

GSL is always such a treat and Tastosis are unbelievably great even after all those years. I just wish this goes on forever!

Not much of a final, sOs was overrun by tier 1 basically. If Blizzards ever wants mech to be viable, they should start with making bioball not so good so terrans had a reason to play mech.

Other than that, it seems sOs not getting extended lance in game 2 was the turning point.


How about giving Byun at least some credit for his performance?


It's not that, granted his control is very good. I just don't think it's good design wise that if you get good enough with tier 1 it is almost impossible for other player to counter, it seems like you can almost solve the game of starcraft 2 that way. I don't think Byun is that much better than Dear with control, if any, that we saw in their match, and I think seeing that even Dear's control wasn't good enough with composition he had, kind of forced sOs to choose colossus play coming into the final.

I still consider Dear winning against Maru way back in code S was most impressive feat I've seen in SC2. But that was Dear defending with what little he had and succeeding. If same is possible while attacking, it may be a problem.

Medivacs, tanks, liberators, widow mines are all not Tier 1 units. And I really like about BW and SC2 that T1 units are still viable in the late game due to upgrades and synergy with T2 and T3 units.


The core of everything was once again marine. It forces protoss and zerg to play so that they dont die to mass marine, which in turn makes all these other tricks so much more viable. Effective and reliable aoe (before LotV) kept things in equilibrium in that regard before, now I'm not sure.


I wish we could, just once, congratulate the players in a tournament without having to bring balance whine in. Can't that go in another thread? Balance whining is THE major killjoy

Without Proleague 2017 ... there is no hype anymore ...

yeah I enjoyed the finals but sOs' blunders were really bad. (forgetting collo range in g2 and accidentally suicide-shade all adepts in g2 and g3... )

Just a theory, tastosis kinda mentioned this "byun first teamless guy ever, yadayadayada" a lot. I assumed this might be THE narrative in korea in general.
It surely doesn't look amazing for kespa teams when he then also wins the finals

I think what often happens is that when a player notices he's getting outplayed he'll lose confidence and start making mistakes.

ByuN played really well and it demoralized sOs, didn't know it was even possible
