We still have a year to the contract I think.

I am happy for Cure, kinda sad for Protoss, still unable to grab a Code S, and Zest, who would have definitely deserved to win something in 2021.

Cure brought very good micro and map awareness to this GSL. Well deserved win.

CURE! GG. I didn't see all the games, but from what I saw Cure was looking pretty good all round.

While some of us has been on the "Trap chokes" train for a while, including me, I just realize that this is the 4th time Zest fail in a premiere tournament Grand Final, right? 2 GSL and 2 IEM, which are pretty noticable but we kinda skip over it because it was kinda spreaded over the years.

Given the state of PvZ in these final losses, and how godlike Maru was in 2018, only this one is about him choking / playing worse than usual imo

0/3 in Liquibets from the Ro4, RIP.

Cool to seeing Cure take home the big prize though, despite an underwhelming finals.

Not even. Maru and Dark both won Super Tournaments in 2019-2020. We traded it for winning NA GM Ladder apparently.
I bear this sig to commemorate the loss of the team icon that commemorated Oversky's 2008-2009 Proleague Round 1 performance.

Happy for Cure, feel sad about Zest.
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

Cure really deserved his win: dominated Parting, Trap and Zest. A bit sad for the protosses but they really can't blame anyone but themselves.
