Nice. TL & Penev curses lifted.

You going with Solar or Dark for tomorrow? I went with Solar because Dark's ZvZ usually isn't great and Solar has to make up for season 1.

I went with Dark despite his mediocre ZvZ cuz of experience in Korean finals and I kinda expect him to be able to repair much of his ZvZ incompetence practicing just for this

Edit: Oh yeah, Dark did win 4-2 vs Solar in the winners finals of the previous SSL as well

G1 - proxy factory (mine drop into cyclone/liberator follow-up) vs proxy stargate, the mine drop does nothing and Byun dies to 4 oracles
G2 - a double medivac stim drop from ByuN does a bit of damage at the 3rd but not enough for a kill, the game goes long with ByuN going ghost/bio/medivac/viking while sOs goes for adept/sentry/stalker/colossus/voidray (!), sOs forgot thermal lance and takes a very bad fight where he chases until all of his colossi are dead
G3 - not much really going on, sOs forces a lift on ByuN's 3rd but ByuN regains control eventually, then sOs begins dropping and warping in adepts in ByuN's main and ByuN takes some losses albeit nothing critical as sOs is going into colossi, suddenly all adepts from sOs's main army complete a shade right next to ByuN's full army and get killed in seconds, the counter attack kills sOs's puny army
G4 - more proxy mine drop/liberator shenanigans from ByuN, after some damage is done, sOs decides to do an adept all-in (7-gate) that gets shut down super hard so he has to give up
G5 - sOs tries to go for DTs but a drop from ByuN spots it, his 6 marines do way more damage than they ever should have in sOs's main, the DTs arrive but ByuN reacts in time and only takes minor losses, ByuN finds more harassment damage, a moveout with 2 tanks and some marines kills sOs's 3rd base, sOs hangs on for a bit with colossi but eventually just has to tap out because he got too far behind

I'm pretty sure Dark is gonna win, too. It's what my gut says at least. But I kinda want Solar to win. But hey, they'll both be at Blizzcon 99% so it's fine. Either way I expect them to have some cool strats prepared, their season 1 match was really good.

I sure hope he does. We haven't had a back-to-back starleague champ since... Nestea ? Or maybe Zest if you count that GSL + GSL World championship.

The tournament Zest won wasn't really a league so I'd say since Nestea. Fitting if it would be Dark.

Btw anyone else super hyped for the KeSPA Cup qualifiers on Tuesday? sOs, ByuN, Dark, Solar, TY, Dear, Classic and many more great players. The brackets of death will be real.

Reading through the thread now, I'm really glad I wasn't participating while watching as it would have made it much less fun. I really enjoyed the finals and this thread is just full of negativity.

I actually don't understand this pov. If you enjoy the games you enjoy them, i am not really enjoying it more/less just because other people think otherwise.
Just because i am saying the game quality wasn't there (which is a fact imo) doesn't mean that you cannot still like the games, different standard/priorities and stuff.


Well, you know, I feel the same way as Vedeynevin, actually. I feel like it would have been a lot less fun if I was reading negative comments throughout, because that then becomes part of the viewing atmosphere. It's a little like watching something you really like with someone who completely hates it and is bad-mouthing it throughout. Not to say that people can't write negative stuff if that's how they feel, but I'm glad I wasn't reading it while watching.

Having said that, I expected people to complain about the games because they were so one-sided and sOs was making mistakes that should have been below him. I can understand why that would bother people. I still found it all entertaining to watch personally, though. ByuN's play was really good after that first game and I like his style and storyline. For me, it was great to see him win a GSL and really dominate like that.

people whine on KR LR's because lately foreigners have been actually showing better games, and there has been too much KR protoss (mainly pvp) action, games get stale and predictable

The Kespa dishwasher won it? So awesome !! From what I read the games were pretty terrible? Too bad because the Classic vs Dark series was great.

People say the finals was bad because it was too one sided. I get that. However, Byun's level of skill he demonstrated is defintely deserving of a GSL championship. I personally would choose my favourite player sweeping in a finals instead of having to go to game 7. I would say sOs played poorly and ByuN played fantastic and I personally loved ByuN's performance.

Nope. You know how Byun always hugs Maru and shit? Inno is even more important to him. He's the biggest fanboy.

Guys is ByuN Gumba?


Well Byun and Maru used to be on the same team. Why the fuck would he be a fanboy of some other pro whos also playing the same race (and worse than byun, too) xD

He said the first time he met Inno, Inno had this kind of superstar aura about him. Something special.


Seriously this is fucking hilarious. Any chance there is some form to watch or read about that?

Watch the Ro16 GSL group selection for this season, they spent a lot of time talking about this.


Where can we watch this GSL group selection with English subs?
