Terran whine at his finest "he wins but Terran is weak".
Geo.Rion sums up the situation pretty well.

SKT vs Prime... this is gonna be great.

Just watched the twitch vod since the semifinals was 5 AM for me. This match had a lot of the best games I've seen in a long time, it was amazing. TvZ is in a really great place in terms of how entertaining it is for spectators. Please let Maru take his triple crown, that would make me so happy! Maru is a god =D

If by "sums up the situation pretty well" you mean insult and make personal attacks on anyone that disagrees with him don't be surprised no one takes you seriously either.

What is annoying is constantly seeing terran toxicity while T got a stronger late game now.
For once, I might cheer for the protoss lol

^-- I'm with this guy. Days like today are what it's all about! I'm also hoping that Maru tears Stats apart limb from limb. My ideal is a 4-0 in Maru's favour, with several really close entertaining games and at least one psyche-shattering stomp.

I thought Triple crown is for winning a premier tournament in KR, NA and EU, I think you mean Triple Premier Starleague wins (AKA at least a win in one GSL, one OSL and one SSL), which is a title ONLY POSSIBLE for Maru since the only other SC2 OSL Winner Rain is retired.
Unless OSL return back to SC2

Awesome series, from cheese to late late game A+. Whenever i try to watch, games tend to be very short in lotv so it was nice to sit down and watch it all unfold past the 20 min mark 
|
That was best LotV series I have ever seen. Absolutely amazing! Game on Darkness Sanctuary was my favourite and once again I really miss 4 spawn maps. There just seems to be way more variety in playstyle when map changes depending on spawns. That game had hidden bases, swarmhosts nukes and battlecruisers. Insanity.

And I've forgotten that when you doesn't agree with a terran you're "a big whiner"

Great series.
Is there a way to hide the length of the video? I knew the result by towards the middle of game 6

didn't you get the memo? you aren't supposed to be actually enjoying the games and appreciating the players' skill, you're just supposed to be whining about how your favorite race is underpowered

only caught the last two games, but what i saw was pretty boring
mech/skyterran with tons of turrets, PFs, sensor towers with a zerg repeatedly trying and failing to throw units into a wall and trade effectively is something we've seen before, it wasn't interesting then, and it's not interesting now just because maru can spam snipes really fast or because ravens have a differently colored missile now
i have no idea if it's "balanced" - maybe maru is better than dark. but it looks like literally the same shit that pro turtle tvz has always been, and how anyone can call that good for spectators baffles me
maru vs stats should be great though

So, this is the same as what I saw at WESG, and what I complained about then (and other people are complaining about).
It's not that Maru isn't excellent, or maybe even the more skilled player. He's clearly extremely extremely good ,and can use his skill to win games with all sorts of strategies.
But the style he is relying on.... is kind of like..
well it's like he could tell his opponent everything he is planning on doing and it still wouldn't matter. There is no psychology or counter. It's just in his execution. If he is patient and executes it correctly, then his (zerg) opponent cannot win.

Hmm, is the excitement of the game for you mostly about the mind games and build-order strategies generally?
I find it a bit of a weird criticism considering how game 6 hinged on sneaky play and game 2 was both players doing early game cheese. And considering Maru went mech in some games and bio in others... And considering how WESG had 3 games that went in Dark's favour and he looked like he had Maru's number in the late game if not for those final two cheeses.
I mean, if that's how it looked to you, that's how it looked. But I'm finding it hard to see it from your angle. To me, he looks very good but not unbeatable (though he was a step ahead of Dark overall in this series, unlike WESG), and he also looks like he's varying his play.
But then again, I remember when PartinG had strategies where he would literally say the build he was going to do and he would win with it all the time anyway because of his insane execution, and I thought that was amazing and very entertaining to watch, so maybe I'm also more entertained by incredible top-end micro intensive execution in general.
