GSL Tres: Rain makes it to the finals by heavily cheesing some of the favorites and has to meet MC, who at the time, could not be touched by anyone. Rain got a singular victory, but the rest of the final wasn't close. MC crushed him. I actually dont think Rain gets nearly enough credit for this final... Game 1 was close, game 2 was REALLY, REALLY, REALLY close with the strangest come from behind win ever (that is, until Inca beat Rain last month lol). Game 3 and 4 kinda meh, but first two games were good, and game 4 DID have some tension with MC losing all his probes. | ||

I haven't seen it in a few months, but I never feeling worried that Rain was going to win. Maybe it was because I didn't buy into Rain, but I'm going to go rewatch the games and see how close it was. Also I'm really glad this article is getting people to want to watch the Super Tournament. I got into Starcraft through the players a few years ago and not the game. Players personalities like FBH, Savior, Reach and all the storylines that went on really got me interested. Then I got more into the game after that. I think every tournament and match-up has a story, but you just have to look for it. | ||

1) MMA's inconsistent plays. I'm sure all of you agree that at times, MMA plays like he really deserves to stay in Code A. This is usually when he doesn't feel the pressure and what not. But then at other times, he literally goes into god mode. MMA will come out ahead against MKP if he goes into his god mode imo, but he won't even get past Ryung if he doesn't. 2) Alicia vs Polt. Alicia is the best PvT out there, BUT Polt is undefeated against Protoss afaik, being the one to consistently take out MC. Being only a Bo3, this could really go either way, and I'm really excited to see this match. If Alicia goes thru, there is going to be another factor after that... 3) Tops vs Line. If Line goes thru, I think Alicia will have a difficult time beating him seeing how bad his PvZ is. But Top managed to take down Nestea, so logically he should be able to take down Line. If this is the case, I'm pretty sure Alicia would decimate Tops, then go on and take out MKP or MMA in the finals. But Tops vs Line is a Bo3, so anything can happen. So this is going to come down to how tonight's games pan out. Really excited! | ||

Game 3 and 4 kinda meh, but first two games were good, and game 4 DID have some tension with MC losing all his probes. I REALLY agree with this. People always say Rain can't play a macro game, but he can! Set 2 on Lost Temple vs MC was VERY EPIC. I remember how many people were saying wow, that was one of the most epic matches I ever saw. But it seems all the hate has made them forget it. That game on Lost Temple showed a lot of promise for SC2; there was a shit ton of harass and action everywhere with smart use of the map's "imba" terrain. It was long, and very fun to watch. Not to mention MC making a miracle hold against Rain's push at the beginning. Rofl, no wonder, the Min vs TheBest match I saw was from April >.> (where Min + Show Spoiler + won a close match Damn it TheBest! lol, would have been even more epic if Min made it through (and because there would actually be another non-terran player) Omg can't believe Nestea lost T_T Anyways, good writeup, and I agree, I always looked at Polt as a very meh player back then but now he is really owning. Overall I like the Top 8, SLAYERS FIGHTING! | ||

Just one thing: Oh, and he also goes to university at one of the best colleges in the world at Seoul National University. If a guy, who has to split his time between going to school and Starcraft, can be this good, how would he look if he spent all his time at the game? Being one of the smartest players in the tournament, what kind of builds we show us for the next round? He graduated, thats what his whole schpiel was before our rematch; that now he has graduated and can focus full time on gaming so he wont lose :p Looking forward to Polt vs Alicia quite a lot, and TOP vs Line as well.... Actually heck, looking forward to it all. | ||

If either Alicia or Line make it to the Finals, they will win. In a GSL Final where there was a Terran and another race, terran always lost. So all I can do is hope and cheer for those two beacons of light in a dark GSL (kinda like fruitdealer). | ||
