I can't feel bad for someone who's going for ranged liberators.

Definitely. Ryung didn't roll over and die for one. Ranged liberators have counterplay opportunities On March 18 2017 15:15 The_Templar wrote:

With no reliable detection Protoss would just die to lurkers every game. It wouldn't even be close.
edit: Actually you'd always target your own unit. There's no point in targeting the opponent's.

what if revelation would just detect units but not give vision?
Or if observer get a higher radius for their detection instead? Or more health?

so how was the series? Looks like people really like games 1 2 3 and 6

Ryung put up a better showing than expected, but Stats still took in convincingly.
No bops, just one player slowly outplaying the other in a fairly competitive series.

Much better than expected. Games 1 and 6 were good.

Detecting but not revealing would be hard to make clear from a visual point of view. Increasing observer health wouldn't really help or make sense. Increasing observer sight range could work, though it could have ramifications.
Another option would be to reduce the duration of revelation (and the cost accordingly). If revelation lasted half as long and cost 25 energy it would force Protoss to tag the army twice as often which weakens offensive revelations while not affecting defensive revelations as much. It would also make Protoss stronger against widow mine drops, which I think is fine from a design point of view. It might be a problem balance-wise, but that can be compensated for.

expected result, time to watch the last game

Seems like most of the Europeans skipped it. :p

I kinda hope soO will do it but there is zero denying Stats would make a worthy champion if he wins.
Ryung put up a good fight, that was rather impressive actually.
Can't wait for the finals !!!

Ryung played super well. But Stats should have probably won game 3 on Cactus.
I skipped watching live because I was convinced Stats would win so staying up/getting up at 5 AM didn't seem worth it.

Stats 
I too was confident Stats was going to win so I didn't wake up to watch.

Gratz on Stats winning this GSL. soO will get 2nd for the 5th time in a row.
