almost every game was cheese from leenock and nestea even 1 game from DRG.. Naniwa either held and won easily or lost in 5 minutes .. really boring games tbh. nani vs nestea was possibly the worst series of the tournament gameplay wise ~_~

This isn't the beta where people were cheesing as their normal strategy. This was a calulated decision by the players in each game to rush because of their opponenets strategy. And in most of the games even though you think hold = win or poorly hold = loss that wasn't the case. You really need to rewatch those matches imo.

I liked HuK vs Ret Game 1 because of the non stop aggression by HuK even + Show Spoiler +

though that's what caused him to lose the game.

The game was entertaining from beginning to end even though there was nothing outstanding about the game.

can you honestly say that you would rewatch the nestea vs nani series? trust me i understand the that they were mindgaming each other and punishing each other but seriously *don't want to ruin it for those living under a rock*
+ Show Spoiler +

game 1 = essentially a free win on dual sight with its extremely open natural and bad scouting by nani over in less than 5 minutes. game 2 = fail cheese/good reaction by nani, gameover but dragged on for 16 minutes. game 3 = proxy 2 gate vs 15 hatch game over in 5 minutes. outside of the hype surrounding the matchup it was a very dull series.

Naniwa's games were absolutely insane, I was praying that him a HuK would play but alas it wasn't meant to be

IdrA vs Oz was pretty good with some close games, HuK vs Ret and Oz were good, and DeMu vs Violet was cool especilly because they just had played in Sao Paulo and there was some very recent history, good games as well!!

I also highly recommend MKP vs HuK and DRG vs HuK. Probably the best two sets of that weekend.

DRG vs HuK?

I can't agree. HuK was crushed after just losing the winners semi's to MKP (like, crying, emotionally cruushed), and I felt it really showed in his play in the DRG game.

One of the best games I saw live was DeMusliM vs Oz, WR2 Game 1. DeMuslim played out of his skin. Great game.

Got to say i got back here cause i remembered the vods would be free. I have no idea why naniwa vs nestea is a recommended game, other than it's nostalgic value the games were preaty poor in my opinion.

Watching them live was amazing that possible why, every game was like "OMG OMG OMG" especially the game on antiga shipyard, could you imagin the outburst and excitment is nestea had won WHILE pulling all his drones, i know i for was was sitting there going "LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL Please dont let this happen" and when nani held the cheese, it was amazing
