He'd have needed at least a greater spire and higher infestor / viper numbers. He also got outplayed by Rogue in the harassment game. Rogue's drops and burrowed runbys were amazing. | ||

Good games, deserving champion and great storyline! Rogue fighting! No one saying Rogue played badly. But to deny that TY, soO and even Inno choked hard in this event is to deny facts | ||

He should have cheesed more decisively three games in a row or smth. | ||

TY making 5 panic ebays, and following it up by not walling of any of his bases, and losing most of his forces accross the map to banelings? Sounds like a classic TY-is-up-2-0 choke to me | ||

Well, Rogue had an amazing end of the year so this win fits. INno forever bad at Blizzcon though. i tried watching some Overwatch today and yesterday and it was better than i expected, I'm still skeptical at this point but who knows, I always liked Samsung's sc2 team so that carried over to their league team when i started watching last year | ||

This is a ridiculous and terrible thing to say, from someone who basically admits they haven't watched the game much to see Rogue's current level of ability Rogue had to beat Inno and herO to win the GSL Super Tournament to even get to Blizzcon and had to beat herO again and TY and soO to win. And the whole idea that "well this is a diminished era of SC2 so Rogue's achievement is diminished" is stupid when you consider the money at stake in this tournament. Even if there were only 10 progamers left their incentive to prepare and perform at the highest level has never been more. If Innovation had won, would you have diminished his accomplishment in the same way, or is it his birthright to win and therefore right and proper? To me it's admirable that Rogue is able to do stuff like win 3 straight against TY when up against it, very hard not to tilt or take stupid chances when in that situation. The fact that Rogue won so many game 5 and game 7 deciding games is impressive to me, when you win a bunch of those in a row it's not a coincidence that you just got lucky. If you want to inform yourself, watch the VOD of Rogue beating Inno and herO in the semis and finals of GSL Super Tournament and tell me he's not good: | ||

The player who performs to expectations DIDN'T choke and that deserves commendation. Just because someone was up at match point and lost two or three games to lose doesn't mean that they were necessarily on tilt, sometimes the player who was behind simply stepped up to the occasion to win. Sometimes it's a little bit of both. Normally I'd agree with this, but you can't deny obvious choking when it happens. TY completely tilted like every time he's up 2-0, soO's play was a train wreck towards the end, and Inno just went full Inno. And I'm not saying Rogue didn't deserve to win btw, but it's still sad when it happens like this | ||

I think the commentating was some of the worst in blizzcon finals history. I dont know if its how the mic was positioned or what but they were screaming into the mic and it sounded like they were going through puberty with the voice cracking, completely unnecessary. | ||
