I was hoping they will somehow weld all those broken player keys to Clem's trophy. The hydraulic press was a poor execution of potentially neat idea.

It was a brutal, beautiful performance by Clem. It was the kind of beating so far Serral has been on the delivery side of, but never receiving. I guess he just learned what it feels like. He looked devastated, but I'm sure that with time he'll realise that being the second-best player in the world right now is not such a bad thing. And he still took home a cool 150k.

Also, really happy for TL. Those club points are amazing. Grats to Clem and TL!

I think the hydraulic press would be much more interesting if its shattering something more fragile like glass. The current iteration lacks some excitement.

But Ghosts are problematic to balance. They are bad for almost all terrans in the world, but for those few who have AI like control - they is no counter.

I think the best idea would be to put hard limit of how many ghosts can be made at once, say 10 most. Another idea would be to lower their base attack, but buff survivability vs banes. It would help regular players, but then some units would start to counter them more (e.g. lings).

If you want to take the power from the Ghost away, then give that to something else. Tanks and Libs are strong defensively, but sucks to use against Spellcaster because of their immobility. Bio will be all-killed with a damn Fungal shot, Mech/Sky Mech are completely useless as well.


Ghost nerf is long overdue friend, and i'm not saying it because Clem won this tournament. I thought Ghost are the most OP unit in the game 1 year ago, 2 years ago, 3 years ago, 4 years ago etc. etc. I would also hope protoss gets some buff aswell, but oh well. SC2 is at the end of its lifecycle and i doubt it would receive any future patch let alone a major one.

If the ghost has been so OP for 4+ years why has Zerg still won the vast majority of events during that time? Many of the event wins weren't even Serral.

You are missing the point, its not about Ghost is OP or not, its that they need to be OP for Terran to have chance in late game TvZ. Imagine no Ghost EMP/Snipe against Viper/Infestor, good luck defending against that.

Clem was on fire, absolutely deserved.
Of course would have loved to see a better final but can also enjoy a crushing like this.

Lets hope for a new mappool and hopefully some adjustments as well now that the world championship is over.

If this was a 5-4, you could make some arguments and excuses. Bracket-luck? Military service vs. Bootcamping in Korea? Balance or mappool? Luck?

But with a 5-0, it is as clear as it was with Serral/Maru before: The better player just won and even as a Zerg-lover, Serral-Fan and avid Terran-hater I can more than accept that and congratulate Clem! Kind of feels like this was his destiny, coming into the scene as "the choosen one", the one player who could make trouble for Serral (when Reynor stopped being able to do that consistently). Really thought Serral had him figured out by know, but Clem truely came back with a vengence.

Btw coming back: I really hope that wasn't the last hurrah and we get more. The scene has shown that we still have something to over. So lets do it again, ESL!


As a little history bit:
Clem might be the first player in the history of gaming (not just SC2) who technically won three titles with one final:
1)He succeeded Oliveira as the reigning World Champion of the EPT Circuit
2)He succeeded Reynor as the reigning Gamers8 Champion
3)Since the Saudis just bought up the company, he technically is also the successor to MaNa, the reigning E(S)WC Champion

Well, i disagree, but let's not make a balance thread from this one.

Missed finals because of work, but holy shit, not the result I was expecting to see. 4-0 against herO, who dominated him in the last tournament they played. Then the most dominant grand finals win over Serral in the history of SC2 in the biggest SC2 tournament ever?

We all knew Clem was good, but to all the doubters, he now has nothing left to prove.

Huge congratulations to Clem and to TL.

Insane level of play.

Congrats Clem!
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Even bigger than the $400k, Clem might just have given TL $2m extra team winning. Wonder if he gets a good share of that prize $.

Unfortunately the level of GSL is very far from its former self. Now with Dark starting military service aswell, even more so. Nevertheless, i'd be sad to see it's gone.

I was being a bit cheeky, as not having a GSL is always held against Serral.

Congratulations to Clem!
What an insane performance... he made this nearly look easy. Beating Serral 8-0 in the World Championship is utterly nuts. Overall he looked unstoppable and his skill level as a Terran is just inhuman. The level of greatness he displayed here was insane. He doubled his earning, marked his status as a world champion and can be incredibly proud of this tournament.

All the best to Dark for the MS. His interview was really sweet and I hope he can return in 2 years.

I am looking forward to see how everything will unfold. I guess Maru's dominance in Korea will only grow now that one of the main adversaries is gone.
Europe on the other hand has gotten another world champion. Clem is only 22 and can still grow so much as a player. I also want to see if Serral is able to adept or if Clem is becoming his first real Nemesis from here on out.

And happy birthday to herO. There are worse things than taking 80k home from a tournament
