Cure is playing like little Timmy's first final it's okay I think, first finals vs a much better opponent, that wasn't good yeah but I think Cure will remain a contender for some time, this run didn't look like a fluke to me
Yeah, too be fair when he beat Inno it's more like Inno playing sloppy not Cure dominating him and questions about will TY bop him instantly popping up after that.

So where does that rank in terms of worst GSL finals? There's been way worse ones. Of the top my head, Nestea/Inca, Sniper/Hyun, Mvp/TOP? Sniper/Hyun was much better than this No effing way. Nothing can be more disgusting than the pinnacle of the gglord/winfester era.
Sniper/Hyun had some pretty solid zergling knife fights that are always exciting to watch, even if ZvZ at the time was pretty meh generally.

Yeah, I agree with that, biased as I am.

The worst one was definitely NesTea vs Inca. I mean, these were just random DT rushes all series long with NesTea crushing all of them with ease.

I think we can all agree that WoL had worse finals, but as far as LotV, this is probably the worst one so far.
I mean it's competing with sOs vs ByuN, Trap vs Dark/Rogue and the hilarious, but still ridiculously one-sided Maru vs Zest

the problem is putting the close games at the end of the sweep instead of the beginning, it already feels hopeless for Cure
at least Mvp vs TOP had a close first game so it felt a little more tense

Huh, anyone know why they would use dollars and not won?

What's even more frustrating is Cure denying us a TY-Inno final only to get roll over by TY like a deer caught in headlights...
Zest crushed TY 3-0. Zest is Best!
Prince crushed Zest 2-0. Prince is Best!

Shit I woke up late, it's over already with a 4-0 for TY? Wow haha
I guess he deserves it after these two lost finals
|
there was a gsl finals ranking on liquipedia once and I remember I mostly agreed with it. I'm positive this finals wouldn't end up really low in this ranking, like definitely not high, but definitely not terribly low either

Prize pool for 1st place shrunk... ouch.

Nestea - Inca was the only finals I didn't even feel like one of the finalists had any business of being in the playoffs, let alone the finals.

He needs a better catchphrase for his royal road. Prince wins!

My guess that it's paid directly by Blizzard so they might as well not convert the currency.

To give out more money to the players who finish lower. A good trade imo.

I mean I love ByuN so I might be biased, but I don't see how a 4-1 TvP is worse than a 4-0 mirror, even if TvT is the most tolerable one.
Rogue/Trap, now that was a shit final, and possibly worse than this one.

I think that you can't judge the WoL games with 2020 hindsight; you have to look at them with the meta and general level of play at the time in mind. I have much higher expectations watching GSL S1 2020 than rewatching some 2011 match.
Also, WoL gave us Leenock-jjakji, which is still the best GSL Finals that I've seen

ByuN-sOs had no redeeming or even halfway decent games so it doesn't help it had an extra game.
