The most disappointing and - lame - ending to a tourney I've seen all year. sOs added to my player hit list.


You have a hit list? Who's on it?

Great article! sOs' mind games really destroyed Jaedong's play. I'm also surprised that Plexa found a picture of sOs kissing the trophy that wasn't completely destroyed by confetti.

Why because several really good Protoss players won by a convincing score in the finals? Look guys like Dear and sHy are doing some really special things with the race. Heck a lot of those games weren't even lopsided.


Because a disproportionate number of PvZ games just seem lack drama. They often come down to exactly one important moment, which you can see minutes in advance, and often time the winner of that moment is pretty obvious from the spectator standpoint before it actually happens.

Compared to the much more back and forth games we see in almost every other matchup, PvZ just doesn't seem to produce games which are interesting to watch. Occasionally you get one.

If 2 out of 5 games are interesting, that's not a point against my argument.

Grats to sOs! He really showed a very mind-game heavy style, was pretty impressive!

PvZ is just a terrible matchup for spectator experience in my opinion.

I play terran

pvz for the last 6 months has been far and away my favorite match to watch (separate from the more frequent rooting interesting I have when my terran heroes play)

it's varied, lots of things work, nothing at all is set in stone anymore. it awesome.

It's not an argument, it's your opinion. The new generation of protosses such as Trap, Dear, sOs and duck are all capable of pulling surprise comebacks with protoss, doing things we didn't think possible. Those "one important moment, which you can see minutes in advance" are quite rare with these players.

Then again if you think it sucks don't watch it, no one can change your opinion. But in mine it's way more interesting than TvZ in that it promotes more stylistic play and different compositions as well as openings as opposed to biomine every day.

2 out of 5 games is not sufficient? You must really hate the game then.

Jaedong taking Stork's specialty to another level.

Perhaps one day, the tyrant shall rule over us again.

Congrats to sOs!

Did anyone predict SOS for the win?? Amazing how some of the favourites bowed out early. That being said its an amazing feat to have even represented in the top 16.
