I'm happy that SlayerS won, but some of the games against the best players were.. what they were. MVP lost in a standard game, but MC got SCV all in-ed, Losira all in-ed, Nestea died super early, so even though SlayerS won and has some amazing players I would still consider IM the favourite for the next GSTL.

I cant even compare the entertainment value of the team league vs solo play. Been pretty bored watching the solo league lately as 90% of the games seem to be 13 minute long games where someone goes all inn after that. I think this is due to the players knows the maps and player they are gonna play and makes some build/strategy thereafter.

The teamleague is more about watching the strategy getting unfolded as the games go by, and that is really fun to watch. The games have been amazing, and it shows in the commentary by tastosis aswell. The finals today was incredibly tense and awesome.

Thanks for the compliments, all! Wish I could've fleshed it out some more, but I originally posted it on Reddit where the maximum post length is 10,000 characters. So I had to cut out some paragraphs going into Slayers_Min's epic baneling wave and Slayers_Alicia's wins over Losira and Nestea.

you did great justice to the scene, boxer, slayers, and the fans. But if you can flesh it out some more please do! Stuff like this does not happen often, so please consider it!

Great write up, wish it was longer.

Also, I had faith in SlayerS since before GSTL started, they've had strong players, just they didn't really show themselves in s1. I thought they could take out oGs and when they did they would steam roll to the championship.

<3 SlayerS.

Great job to slayers and all, but I don't think this should be overplayed. Nestea was 4 gated out, and Losira failed on a baneling bust. MC was killed with a combination of all ins.
Slayers is definetely a contender now, but I don't think they're the best team atm

The entire tournament was fucking awesome. It was amazing to see Boxer and his team finally be rewarded for their efforts and if any team were to win I'm happy it was them.
I really feel like their team roster is well rounded and I think they had the right mentality going in to the team league. They went in as a team with plans and strategies for every possible scenario and a player to use in every situation, thanks to some great coaching by Boxer and Cella.
Its gonna be very interesting to follow the progress of the entire SlayerS team and I am eagerly awaiting the next GSTL.

Holy Check!

Say what you want about cheesing, but if you scout your opponent doing some greedy crap, they deserve to get 4 gated out. The bottom line is these players have shown they know the game and aren't a bunch of bitbybit.primes.

I think you have it backwards. Slayers doesn't have the best players atm, but the fact that they use a carefully planned series of all ins against MC shows that they are the best team.

It's the difference that Cella brought. Team strategies require not only focusing on the immediate match, but the possible matches thereafter. Slayers would not have won over oGs if Cella had just picked someone (even MMA), and just said "Yo, just play your best game, glhf."

You could see it in the way that members of the Slayers team huddled inside the booth after every game quicker than any other team. At any given moment, 2 or 3 of the Slayers members would be talking with the person in the booth during down time. The entire team was behind every single player and every single stratagem.

(Side note, but Nestea's blind double expand with no spines was basically a large neon sign saying "Please 4 gate me")

That final game will go down in SC2 history.

Tastosis were silenced and awestruck by the sheer awesomeness of that match. They joined us in watching with awe at the action unfolding before us.

Great writeup. Good to see some crossovers from the Reddit community making a splash on TL. I'm a big fan of Cella and think he has a great impact on the foreign community. Solid guy. I'll buy you 2 cheeseburgers whenever you come to Canada! Grats to SlayerS.
