I havnt watched a lot of Starcraft in years. My expectation for this tournament was that storylines are of course a lot worse than the good old Idra/Huk/Naniwa/Stephano etc. days, but at least the quality of the games would be very high. Nope, thats about as exciting as WoL beta.

Maybe Ill tune in for HSC again, but then I have seen enough SC2 for another year at least.

The quality of games is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay higher than during thw WoL days wtf lol

Hmm? Story-wise this was arguably the best Blizzcon since 2014...maybe even ever since a foreigner actually has a real chance at taking it. Not to mention the defending champ, the x2 champ and a former finalist are all here. Best player of the year just got bopped though

Although weirdly, 2011 Blizzcon and 2012 WCS were both really high-quality tournaments and some of the most entertaining of their respective years.

Rogue winning after qualifying last minute and ByuN winning weren't good storylines?
sOs vs Life finals wasn't a good storyline?

He played only proxy vs his team mate who scouted before pylon because he knew it was constantly be proxy, really bad performance by Maru imo

Maru got supply blocked and flew a medivac into stalkers in the very early game, I rate the quality of games a goody vs cruncher out of 10. Bring back WoL please.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

Rogue winning was pretty underwhelming, especially when it could have been soO salvation. BuyN was a good story line but I hated reaper to much to care
