SOS FIGHTING!
Can't believe some of you people are being bitchy about him winning. He played his heart out and won convincingly 4-1.
I gotta say that i have been following SOS since the beginning of the year and he never ceases to surprise me with how innovative and versitile he is. In the finals he played 5 games, all with different bos, and other than that in a very large percentage of his games during the whole year, he has shows us countless new strats, building orders and timings. I can only imagine how much time and effort he puts into his practice to be able to show us all these building orders performed flawlessly.So all you antifans or JD crybabies can just go cry in a corner because the champion is here!
SOS FIGHTING!

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.

This was the winning bracket contest entry in the TL+ bracket contest (Predicted by FetTerBender who won 12 months of TL+!):

Also, Rotterdam.

Not bad, fetterbender, congratulations! This bracket was certainly filled with, if not upsets, then too-close-to-calls.

as well as sOs played, I can't help but wonder about Jaedon'g mental state. It looks like he has the yipes. For it to happen for the 5th time this year, it's definitely a mental thing, as he's so damn dominant and amazing, until the finals. Could get interesting if he has a breakthrough though.

sOs played so sick the entire event, big props to him, had a huge smile on my face after he won even though I was rooting for JD, he really brought his A-game, so impressive vs all of his opponents. Also, hope JD knows that he played incredibly well too, his series vs Dear and Maru were insane

PS: grats on Keen5 WR Plexa, sorry I missed it

I'm actually very happy that SoS won mainly because I like it when an underdog wins. Everyone else seemed to be cheering for "the dong" and in twitch chat people defending SoS and his play were belittled. So much enmity towards a player who beat the fan favorite. I loved it and I am now an SoS fan, its a pity people can't appreciate the game and cling to their Idols. I'm an MVP fan and that was brutal to watch but he was outplayed so I can't feel angry about it. All in all I'm not an SoS fan as a result of WCS, but I do appreciate the games he played, and how he won.

Well, that's... pretty fucking disappointing, considering it's supposed to be the biggest SC2 event of the year lol

I agree.

Tournaments shouldn't actually involve any games. It should just be polls. That way we could never have upsets. How amazing it will be!

Players wouldn't have to practice SC2 anymore! It would be all about who has the most popular personality! eSports becomes a reality TV show! :D

Oh man, I had to leave just before Jaedong vs sOs started. Artosis was firmly predicting a Jaedong victory so I guess I shouldn't be too shocked. Still, some of those games vs Maru and Dear were works of art and I had high hopes for him. Well played, grats to sOs on the championship, and grats to Jaedong for becoming the most-winning pro gamer ever.
