Great write up Fionn, write officially for TL already~ =P

@spacemonkeyy: you're right, the question is why you think any of these four are unknown or underrated when people who are actually watching this have known for some time how good these four are. Oh wait, if that was a racial imbalance whine then go blame all the good Zerg and Toss players who lost, not the Terran players who won.

What sort of world do we live in where the winner is the one at fault?

"Polt? He's the guy you know who used to sit in the back of the class, be covered in pimples, and have the second creepiest smile in the world behind TheBest."

thank you for making me spray coca cola all over the screen and keyboard

Nice OP

But I must admit, I will not be watching the rest of this season of GSL. The one matchup I really hate is TvT, so a TvTvTvT is pretty much my worst nightmare. I used to watch all games in the GSL, but nowadays I'm only really interested in MC's and Huk's games.

You really got to question things when you have so many relatively unknown/underated players making it to the pointy end of the tournament from one race whilst only the best of the other two races get anywhere near it.

The best of each of the races lost near the beginning, cya mvp, bomber, nestea and mc. Theres a ton of variance in sc2 right now. If you dont want variance go watch brood war

Pretty sure a certain Terran who is better than Bomber and has proven so is still in. If you had just said the best of each race which would be MVP, Nestea, MC then it would've been ok.

MarineKing is the second best Terran and maybe he'll prove he's better than MVP.

Dude, just, stop.

If you keep writing amazing articles like this, you are going to make the TL writter's union go on a strike, because you took away their employment opportunities.

Great fucking article, especially the part with TheBest's face in it



I agree but the picture of girls with TheBest's face in the back freaked me out at first LOL

GJ!!

Thanks for all the kind words and enjoying the article.

Don't hold any hard feelings to people who just don't like TvT. To be fair, MarineKing doesn't play the average TvT style and Polt really doesn't either, so I think we'll get some exciting matches. We also might get

Artosis: HE'S SLIGHTLY MOVING HIS TANK FORWARD
Tasteless: OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

*10 minutes later*

Artosis: HE MOVED IT AGAIN. ALMOST IN RANGE! OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Tasteless: OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

But hopefully we get some exciting matches.

I don't normally read through long posts like this but damn, what an awesome write up! I hope more people realize we may actually get the best finals yet of the GSL. It won't be based off name recognition but off of pure skill. I'm looking forward to it even more after this read, thanks!

"MarineKing doesn't play the average TvT style"? Can you find one such non-average TvT MKP played ever since his GSL match vs Nada?

Anyway, go to check the replays MKP vs Scfou (FXOpen # 3 finals, 9 games), and GSL up/down match MKP vs MMA, as well as MKP vs TheBest the other day. All of them are marine tanks solid play.

I can't say I hold the same enjoyment for TvT, but whatever happens I hope we don't have another player crumble like Alicia. It's so easy to make the slightest mistake in TvT and just lose the game. I'd like to see MKP get another silver medal as well, but I won't be waking up before dawn to watch TvT. If the games are interesting there's always vods

Thanks.

If I can get any new fans into watching GSL, I'll feel really happy. The only way for the GSL to get bigger and better, is to get new fans.

I don't think he meant it as a bad thing. MarineKing usually makes TvT entertaining.

His Scfou matches were amazing though and aside from that huge blunder in game 2 in the up and down he completely destroyed MMA in both games so I'm hoping for a 3-0!
