That was maybe the worst final I've ever seen


A couple of Maru's finals wins have been just as shitty. Not to speak of Rouge's other wins. These JAGW guys not doing the viewers any favours.

i remember when Hellbats were raining from the sky in every tournament

One of the absolute worst metas ever, remember when you could have 4 hellbats in a medivac lol?

remember that time when Bomber was the best TvT player in the world for a few weeks cause everybody played the same build every game and he made more units than everyone else and dropped them faster? there was a 4-Terran group in GSL or smth with Bomber, Flash, Inno and i think Ryung and Bomber went through undefeated with literally so many hellbats Tasteless

the role of Hellions/Hellbats in the development of the game is pretty funny in general. remember it took Terrans like a year and a half to figure out this unit was really good, when all the Slayers terrans showed up to some MLG and dropped blueflame hellions in every mineral line, terrorising the entire tournament? that's when people also realised the blueflame upgrade icon wasn't blue and they patched that

While my brain is muddled through too much booze, the Starcraft portion of my memory banks is largely intact.

Haha it was even more stupid when the medivacs would cross flight paths to unload hellbats and whatnot. I imagine the pilots waved at each other, ‘dropping some hellions?’ ‘Yeah all I’ve been doing this week’

Yeah that Slayers Blue flame hellion build was absolutely brutal

They didn't update the icon until quite a while later iirc.

i think you're right actually, yeah

also for some reason i just remembered that GSL in 2012 where DRG and Genius were in the same group in both ro32 and ro16 and both made it out of both groups (ro16 had MKP and Nestea), then waltzed through the bracket and met in the finals, which was a pretty wild series with DRG winning like 4-2 or smth

Was that the one where he sent him off into the army?

Thoughts on like, the games or anything?

I’ll have to rewatch a bit. Seems Zest brought this really optimised build to the table, and ran out of steam with it/made other mistakes too?

I think we can all agree that after this finals the most urgent need is to nerf cannon rushes.

Oh, and another nerf to observers.

Based on what, exactly? Surely not h2h nor Serral's performance against Zerg in this tournament.

Very disappointing final.

Zest seemed way to stoic in his build + a bit lazy scouting = 2 really dumb map losses vs bane bust and roach ling allin. on Zen rogue scouted his proxy just in time - unlucky. on world of sleepers he basically had no plan at all to deal with the SH/Nydus and just hoped to win the game outright I guess?

Rogue did play pretty well, but Zest kinda handed him the win imo.

Still OP. You sacrifice 5 scvs to get a mule. And it happens automatically.

Supply depot that can lower, what's that about, the zerg and protoss need to make sophisticated sim-city and hold position micro and terran can just put building, does that seems fair to you?

Only for the humor.
It's not long if you really need to kill a few minutes. Rogue knew what Zest was gonna do and just kinda stomped him with aggressive stuff.
