I think it's time for MKP to take the championship, then we can get the happy ending to the MKP documentary they made.

Also, Ryung is seriously overlooked considering his reputation in the team league was as a Terran sniper. MMA's been clutch and Ryung did fail to beat MVP in the team league, leaving the glory to MMA. So this should be an interesting series.

I can't wait to see Alicia - Polt though. That should be the great.

I really hope MKP wins this one, although he gets silver every 2 seasons,
gsl 1= no
gsl 2= silver
gsl3 = ro8
gsl january =silver
gsl march= ro32
gsl wc =silver
gsl may =ro 32
gsl supert tournament = silver time perhaps?

Great article, really entertaining.
btw, 4 = Cuatro

A SlayerS vs SlayerS finals would be really awesome. SlayerS has yet to win a big single player tournament in Korea. I think MKP is cool, but maybe he should lose so he can go to Dreamhack

Can't believe people are saying there are no good players left. The guys left were the ones who beat the best of the best.

After MLG, I have no choice but to cheer for MMA. If not him, then Alicia. Boxer has good taste in players. ^^

I like that writeup and hype. People need to get over their favorites' losses and have a look at the other people making a name for themselves (well... except in theBest's case, I think x) ). The game's still quite new, hence the possibility to have swings.

Sure, a 90% P/Z tournament would wield less interest for me, as a Terran player with a spectator preference for T too, still I wouldn't say "Oh my favorite race is underrepresented, this Ro8 is total crap and should be ignored".

4th time's the charm? Hopefully?
I am hoping MKP can break his curse.

Fionn, thank you for making this post. It is probably the best SC2 write-up I have read to date, and hopefully it will convince people who perhaps haven't been watching every GSL match like I have to make sure and tune in for the closing match-ups.

Great job, you managed to hype me up after the depression I fell into after watching Nestea vs Top

It was Nestea's fault that last game, so I can't blame Top. Wanted a MarineKingxNestea finals but now I would like a MMAxAlicia finals.

I want MarineKing in the finals but I wanted him to lose.(Yes I'm cruel

) However, no one I want to from the other bracket to win now that Nestea is gone. Not an Alicia fan yet, he's good but hasn't had the magic to capture me.

So rooting for MMA all the way now. Him winning MLG and then returning within a day to beat Ganzi sealed the deal. An All Slayers final would once again bring more prestige and fame to the house of SlayerS!

Voted for Polt after reading that wall of text. Guy needs more support!

Great write-up!

6/8 are Terran.

You can't blame people for not caring. Aside from Terran players who might want to watch I can't see anyone else who would care (Except for a few Protoss players and Alicia and the same for Line).

The whole Terrans in GSL thing is getting extremely boring, don't get me wrong I'll always watch future seasons and I hope either MKP or Alicia wins now, but I won't be watching anymore of this season.

Amen, brother.

I'm getting sick and tired of seeing so many terrans in Ro8 and onward.

Very nice write up, was lolling a lot, especially in the thebestfou part. I would like mkp to win in a finals, poor guy. But as a protoss, it would be nice if alicia wins one. Line actually played quite well against nada, never engaging his army, walking around it and counter attacking, but I dont think if nada was playing his best yesterday.

Prime has never one a single match in the gstl.. :o didnt know that.

It seems you didn't watch everything closely before.
It 6 Terrans, not 7. You forgot Line.

Edited.

Point still stands though, I'm not saying Terran IMBA or anything even remotely close to that, just 6 Terrans is kinda boring. I'm a Zerg player and if it was 6 Zergs I'd still get bored at the same matchup over and over.
