Btw I only caught game 2 ; what did the other games look like ?

Games 1 and 4: Classic all-ins, leaves no units at base and dies to 8 ling drop.

Game 3: Classic all-ins, soO simply defends it on pure ling bane queen, then rolls him with hydra ling.

Thanks ! Doesn't look too epic indeed

I dunno INnoVation vs Stats at Gyeonggi could give this a run I think....

Nestea vs Inca, you know.

Well, while Inno and Stats were both decently hyped, Inca didn't have near as much as Classic.

There is some beauty in them, like the realization game by game that nothing is can stop this endless loop of GSL second place

Well, if we had to rate the most disappointing stomps then i think soO vs Soulkey still takes the cake over this. After all, Classic lost to Impact before this series

I mean you really cannot make this shit up, soO first in 4 finals in a row, loses all of them.
Now he is in the second one in a row again. Time to keep winning? Another loss? It doesn't really matter, whatever happens in the gsl finals one week from now, soO is a god. Holy shit.
I really wonder what would happen if soO actually won one. No more finals ever again? Does he even get better? Man i love this story and i love soO.

Poor classic though, you could tell that he was shocked at the end there.

If soO wins GSL Mvp comes out of retirement and knocks soO out into Code B.

Maybe he will get better, because the monkey is off his back finally. Or he will get worse because he achieved what he always wanted. I want to see him winning the trophy first, and only after taking guesses. Hard to say.
Why so serious?

We've been saying that for too long to not know he can very well lose this finals and then get a seventh finals... certainly not what I hope will happen though.

This is the best chance so far, in previous finals he always faced the strongest ones of that time: Inno, Zest, Classic, Stats... but this time he gets Gumiho, not a weak player but definitely not the strongest, i would not put Gumiho even in top 5 players atm. Moreover Soo got Inno- the best TvZer to practice, so i think he will have a good shot against Gumiho

Gumiho is like the hottest player right now, actually.

And soO is unfortunate to always draw himself a player on the hot streak in every final he is in.

The problem is Gumiho's TvZ is much different than anyone else's even if that player (say an Inno) tries to emulate his style.

I think he honestly needs to play the series similar to this one versus Classic. Speed overlords will probably be a good idea to sniff out any potential heavy aggression from Gumiho which I think we will see a good bit of. Spotting mech early too will be important which I think we will see a game or two of.

Yes Gumiho style is quite unique, and as long as Soo can hold the early agression which Gumiho will most likely do, he will be fine. Soo is a monster in mid-late game.

Any player who makes it to a Starleague final is almost by default on a 'hot streak'. Unless, of course, if he scored a walkover or two in the run up (which didn't happen). Shine was the hottest BW player too, in the recent ASL. But his lack of track record and experience puts him as an underdog. Same with Gumiho here.

All the finalists soO had faced were not underdogs (except arguably Dear, who only went on a tear after the GSL final win).
