So yeah it's normal what he did, but man he's really annoying me with the "i'm sc2 god" attitude. This guy will fall, badly, and man i will laugh

I agree whole heartedly with this, but at the same time you simply can't expect someone in a tournament with money on the line to consciously call off doing build X because it's "cheese" and go with Y for the sake of entertaining the viewership .

His job isn't really to entertain you. He knew that the proxy had a very high probability because of the first 4 games and that map was better suited for it. And wtf, PvP are usually build order wins anyway so that makes no sense at all. The last match shouldn't make or break your viewing experience, the entire set was very good and a back and forth battle, it was actually one of the better finals we have seen in quite a while.

I am really tired of people complaining that matches aren't good unless they last thirty minutes and their favorite player wins. I personally thought the game was very good as it showed how MC can find a weakness in an opponent and exploit it, he doesn't just sit there and try to play a single style and he isn't afraid to take a massive risk. We need more of that in E-Sports. (I mean people taking calculated risks and not just all-ining every game)

I see your point and im certainly NOT trying to imply that each game should last 30 min.

But i don't think personally that the finals was good at all.
Had one or two good games but the series overall was not so entertaining for me(my opinion ofcourse)

And BTW his job is to entertain people (maybe not me in particular but still it is to entertain people)
That is whats making E-Sports profitable and he works in E-Sports last time i checked atleast.

I just think that he could atleast done that in the game before and left the final game with atleast some suspense in it.
And yes, the last game in a tournament is whats the most clear in my memory and is the biggest factor if i liked the series or not.(unless a game is radically epic or something)

Well, as it seems, for most people here the last game was great and most certainly epic and memorable. I guess that's job well done then.

It was a perfect play.

Sometimes the shorter games are the really good ones because you see a strategy that is simply better than his opponent's. This is a strategy game, guys.

It's a Real Time Strategy game, not a Real Time Macro game Having excellent macro is obviously a requirement to play at a high level, and to execute longer games (where neither opening strategy can (or is designed) to win), but does not define the game on a competitive level. When it comes down to it, strategy is how you win, macro largely becomes a given, especially on their level.
