Team leagues are all about match-ups and sniping. That's why you have map specialists, anti-race specialists and people practicing specifically to beat certain players.

Amazing job on the write up :D SlayerS is BOSS. They had such a rough road. Three good teams stood in there way and they won every time!

A great write up. It was so worth getting up at 4 in the morning to watch history unfold before my eyes.

The bottom line is these players have shown they know the game and aren't a bunch of bitbybit.primes.
What are you talking about with some "deserve" bullshit. If you play not greedy whatsoever you'll still probably lose to a 4gate if you don't scout it. Because 4gate crushes you unless you actually cut drones completely, aka if you don't, you lose, but if you do cut drones you lose to any other build order out there which is why 4gate is so stupid in the first place.

GSTL has been absolutely amazing, and the finals nailbitingly close to the very end. 4 gate, no 4 gate, whatever - the sheer stategic acumen of Slayers won the day for them, and then there was MMA to pull through when needed.

And I don't think anyone would disagree, but they played it like a team and did everything right at the right time, that's what makes this a great story. Also nestea went a really risky triple expand, he deserved to get 4 gated for that.

no its free..
I should be more clear the vods are in Korean which is why I think they are free so you get the Korean commentators not tastosis but all the vods are already uploaded so if anyone really wants to watch the games for free they can.

great write-up! "legend killer"... other than the name already being taken, I guess it works fine.
|
Fun write up. Based on this alone I'm going to shell out for VODs since I couldn't watch it live.
|
Sounds pretty good, I actually didn't manage to watch the finals but dang I guess I have to now!
Excellent write up OP.

I can't believe i was debating about spending it in the first place.
its $2.495 for 16 hours of tasteless , $2.495 for 16 hours of artosis A deal that cannot be beat anywhere. I mean .. that's like 15 cents per caster-hour.

The underdogs become ones again the champions. And this is why Slayers_Boxer will forever be a champion in our hearts.

Great Thread, I'm happy for SlayerS and most of all, for Cella, he really deserves it. Good luck in the World Championship Games tho!
