I loved watching sOs play because he beat Jaedong with tactics and strategy instead of pure mechanics. You'd think a community composed almost entirely of nerds would be able to unanimously appreciate something like that. | ||

Sos is good at mind games, but overall I'd give JD the edge. Only problem is, JD has some mental-health problems, and gets nervous every time he's in an important match and is the favorite to win. That's why he has five 2nd places in one year. Game 1 & 2 were definitely throws with JD being sooo far ahead and then tilting. Game 4 could have been won with safer play and more scouting. Anticlimatic end. But oh well. Great tourney nevertheless. The Canadian crowd of S3 finals was definitely better than the US crowd, but other than that, production, players and staff-wise this was one of the best tourneys of SC2. Edit: And at the guy over me, definitely agree with PvZ being less exciting gameplay-wise. 90% of games evolve around P doing an all-in and Z trying to defend without losing too much eco and then overpower. | ||

I was super happy to see Jaedong making it so far because it game the tourney a storyline and drama we otherwise would have lacked if he got taken out with all the other "fan-favorites" in the first couple of rounds. Thank you Jaedong <3 (I'm not even that huge a fan and it was so HYPE to see his run to the finals!!) | ||

Sometimes TvP, but to a lesser extend. What an odd thing to say considering the TvPs in this tournament were absolutely fantastic. Pure bullshit because the PvP were good too. blah.

You guys and keep telling yourselves that but doesn't make you right. | ||

Is it just me or anyone else thinks that StarCraft 2 looses credibility? I mean, this year we had like 4 different "best players",.. how could that be ? To be honest, I dont think SOS is THE best player right now, I think everyone else of the participants (with few exceptions) could have won the global finals. From now on SOS will fall just like every other "major tournament"-winner,.. because like all the other champions (besides Innovation in Season 1) noone truely was THE BEST. what does that mean? -->If more and more different players win major tournaments,winning a tournament seems to become more and more worthless, because everyone can win it, you don't have to be the very best. Is it Blizzards "we patch everything" - mentality ? Or just "normal" because HotS isn't even a year old? I have no idea, but its not good for the sport. | ||

 I have news for you no one has truly been the best player in SC2. Ever. People can talk about MC Boss Toss all they want, they can talk about MVP being King all they want, they can talk about Nestea all they want. When you have as many tournaments where you will always see different competitors (heck, even if we had the same competitors) the truth is there are a lot of players who can win on any given sunday depending on several factors. There would be shifts no matter what. | ||

Funnily enough, you will find that such questions rarely have simple answers. It might have been in Brood War, but there are many sports where there is no undisputed #1 that get along just fine. And this whole "you don't have to be the best to win" is annoying, stupid and offensive all at once. Of course you have to be the best. You have to play better and smarter than everyone else to win. Or you lose. That's how the game works. If you didn't know sOs well enough before the tournament, I'm sorry, but your argument is and has always been bullshit. | ||

This is getting silly, nobody said ANYTHING when JD baneling busted Maru 2 (or was 3?) games in a row, because it was "The Dong", but suddenly comes a player, that TL defines as a "faceless korean" which actually shows how much does some people know about SC2 (watch Proleague, please...), and put JD to shame with his mind games and unorthodox play style and now everything is "SC2 is dead, RIP SC2, JD SOOO MUCH BETTER" If i were playing for a 100k i would do everything in my power to win, and so will everyone | ||
