I have to disagree with the 8th on this list soo much....
Sniper vs Hyun was certainly not no. 8, it was one of the worst finals ever, I'm not even talking about the gameplay, because it doesn't matter....
It was during IPL, the entire GSL playoffs was completely being ignores, it almost had a status of being a lesser tournmant in comparrison to the IPL, and everything was just so hidden.
It felt like this finals was some underground thing, which is just... wrong...
the gameplay doesn't matter?
ok, lol
it certainly matters to some people, and that was one of the better ZvZ series ever played, if not the best.

Like 5 of the games were good, I liked them all except 1 and 4. That contain on Dual Sight, the epic macro game on Entombed Valley.
epic macro? the one where squirtle misrallied like 5 immortals into mvp's base? none of the games were particularly good save the vortex for novelty and the last one due to tension.

Jjaki vs Leenock games are of the highest quality, but as a person who's watched all GSL finals live, I'd have to say that GSL Season 2 is the best, and thus built the most hype for its finals.

I get chills from just looking at that thread.
It was great at the time but it simply doesn't hold up to some of the later tvz's, both in mechanics and strategy.
I don't know what to say man, people have simply got a lot better since then.

Opinions. I loved the dual sight contain. G1, g2, g3 weren't that memorable, i'd agree.

Hoping jjakji vs Leenock is #1
going to be really disappointed if it's DRG vs MMA. Outside game 7 and maybe 1 other game in that series, it was not good. Sure, game 7 was great, but the rest... meh

if Fionn really did write a "novel" for his #1 choice, it might be because it's an unexpected choice and he has to argue it.

Fuck, that's glorious Fionn!

I think a lot of people agree on his #1 pick, actually. Besides, I think the best finals get longer write-ups both because they're high on the list and because they were exciting enough to warrant lots of talk about them.

Fuck Leenock vs Jjakji, I almost got banned for raging after that series. Watching Jjakji lucksacking his way to victory was like watching Joe Cada winning the WSOP.
I don't think it was that great from a gameplay perspective either

I dont think it was about how great the mechanics were for that set. People loved it because everyone wanted Nestea to win. We all sat there watching and hoping for Nestea to come out on top. He was in a terrible position then he won it and it was a very close match.

Where is MMA vs Mvp? Wasn't that like at least worst 5?
I don't remember it exactly (the only Starcraft game I ever really had to fight sleep), but wasn't it Mvp turtling on 3base Mech for 15mins in all 5games and then pushing out once every game just to get caught unsieged by MMA's bio?
... GSL really wasn't blessed. But #15-#8 all had some really good moments.
And yeah, if you put the cheesefest that MMA vs DRG was on #1 instead of the The King beating Squirtle I'm pissed.

Dear vs soO doesn't get enough credit... Dear didn't just all-in everygame. An all-in is where you literally go all-in and there's no possibility of transitioning out.. it's a little misrepresented with that description. Dear would almost always leave an opening to take a 3rd or stop the aggression and transition, but just because the aggression was successful doesn't make it an all-in. There were definitely some intense games as well, and the series being tied 2-2 at one point really added to the suspense. I understand they weren't really well known but since we're looking back on it from a nostalgia perspective, I think it deserves a bit more credit than that,especially knowing how Dear destroyed in the season 3 finals directly after, and the whole Royal Roader aspect. Just my opinion of course but I really enjoyed those games

Great article. Looking forward to part 2. MMA vs DRG or Mvp vs Squirtle better be number one!
