It was HerO and a pretty bad series for everyone except Olli I think.

what? why?

Oh wait, actually the bad series was HerO against Innovation. Though I think a lot of people still felt like Polt was robbed after beating Classic and Rain?

People definitely were sad Polt lost but considering HerO didn't really abuse the blink imbalance and played his own style it wasn't too bad.
HerO-Inno was certainly one of the most painful series I've ever watched.

HerO was never heard of again once he destroyed fan favorites polt and jaedong.

remember the never-ending Immortal allin vs Jaedong?

if i'm not mistaken AGAIN it was probably my favorite time watching sc2 due to zvt/tvz

if i'm right that was during the peak of MMMM vs lingblingmuta strats which was just amazing to watch since it pushed both players to the limits of micro and a war of attrition. Despite all the balance whine it was just incredible to watch and it could've went both ways due to the nature of banelings and mines wrecking everything in the field.

Dunno if i ever enjoyed watching starcraft more than that time

Agree. I think in LotV all matchups got better except TvZ which got much worse.

Well pvt certainly got better and maybe pvz as well. Can't remember what happened to the marine-tank meta on tvt's though that shit was glorious.

The other matchups got slightly better while they managed to ruin the best matchup and kill build diversity. Failure of an expansion really.

I haven't seen much of tvz right now but it certainly isn't as exciting as hots was. (Yeah definitely the best matchup arguably could be tvt when marine-tank was still the mirror match build)

I think the disruptor addition for protoss was good though.

Marine-Tank vs Marine Tank was a great meta... but after 6 years of existing it got a bit boring to watch.

PvP got a lot worse. We lost all early game diversity (2 gate openers every game woohoo. Not to mention with 4.0 it's now fast expand every game as well!). And then instead of the potential colossus or zealot archon (which became less popular with the Time Warp nerf, yes), we get zealot archons immortal running into one another which isn't any better than colossus war.
