Given that this event is supposed to promote Starcraft towards newcomers (Artosis explaining creep lmao) I actually think it's a good thing that the best players aren't here.
There seem to be fewer entertaining games among the very best players than among the second-tiers. Probably because when the best are playing, the first one to make a mistake just instaloses. Whereas when both players are making mistakes, the game seesaws and continues on in entertaining fashion. And of course, if herO or Dark or Inno were here, watching them just roflstomp everyone else wouldn't be entertaining for a lot of people either.
That being said, when the best players really break out the big guns the games can get insanely epic (but that happens rarely at best).

Nah, the % of "very good games" is just naturally low in StarCraft, as it is in a lot of sports.
Remember, the average BW Proleague game was a ZvZ you couldn't stand, and the average MLB game is a 6-2 snooze for two non-playoff teams :D

Time, Libs are good but they in fact do NOT kill spores

On Eastwatch? Nah, terran just has to survive long enough (which he didn't), and it isn't too hard. I saw TIME do that against the admittedly weaker Toodming in GPL.

The % of "very good games" is always low by definition. It's more that games that are bad in SCII can be really bad, worse than in most games imo.

Roaches are hard countered by drops

I think TIME fucked up that drop. He should've taken out an upgrade or two instead of the drones.

I dont know how it's fair but ok

It's more that games that are bad can be really bad, worse than most games imo. Eastwatch is good for that style, true, but that doesn't help if your ghostball keeps getting fungalled or your bases get ransacked by cracklings or any of the other mistakes that TIME made.
Also I'm getting mildly annoyed by the amount of hype Tastosis is putting into this. Not every move is the best move ever, and not ever player is the best player ever. And even if they were (in which case it should be self-evident), saying that repeatedly gets old fast. Reminds me of Katowice last year. I guess allowances can/should be made for the newcomers though.
