To my mind, the recent Hotsix final deserves a higher ranking. It was the best play from two players I remember watching in a GSL final.

* On the same tangent, I find the squirtle vs. MVP series really overrated. Yes it came down to the last set, and yes the atmosphere was exciting, but it showcased sloppy play by both players. In particular, the famous vortex/black hole game was decided after endless, no-action camping on a bad map.

MVP vs TOP is one of those series that Game 1 was everything TOP had. He played badly after game 1, but the major problem, which was very noticeable, is MVP broke his Will. In real-time. Game 1 showed TOP could fight with MVP, but the truth is that it took everything TOP had to hold together during Game 1. That broke him. I'm not sure he ever actually did much after that, either.


Pretty sad when you consider he never played another tournament for literally years. And then he spent years teamless after oGs disbanded.

I'm serious when I say that MVP broke TOP.

Confession: I never watched the hot6 finals. I might get around to it at some point though.

Waiting to see if there's one in the top 8 I haven't seen yet, I'll need something to watch to take a break from exams and stuff.

I mean if we're going off of story I think Life vs MVP is unbeatable by any tournament thus far in sc2. It's like a prime example of why I get so ticked off when whiners complain Koreans provide no storylines -_-

In a brave new world with Kespa players on the horizon...

Potential 1st Royal Roader vs Potential 5x gsl champ.

Innovative Prodigy vs Experienced Veteran

One dominates one of the hardest gsl paths ever vs Underdog who miraculously wins round after round

Terran vs Zerg

all the way to game 7.

Definitely great. The series was great, the context was great, it's probably in the top 3 of most hyped series of all time, and the games were okay enough to not kill the mood. I understand people will hunt down Fionn and kill him, if he doesn't put the other two popular series in #1 and #2, but Life vs Mvp better be #3.

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


Calling game 7 great is somewhat of an understatement...

Jjakji-Leenock was a very good finals, but it's really a shame it didn't go to Game 7. There is just something amazing about the ace match, where a win for both players and a loss for both players means so much. That's #3 on my list personally.

Mvp-Squirtle is #2. That Game 7 by Mvp was really sick, an amazing comeback after a failed cheese.

MMA vs DRG at blizzard cup finals was by far the best, 3-0 in to 3-3, which then led to awesome game in shakuras where it got to late game, saw awesome multitask, and it came down to like the last UNIT.

the sad thing is, if leenock hadnt accidentally detonated a full control group of banelings in game 1, he wouldve won, and the series wouldve went to a g7. but that is part of loving leenock, the fact that his human side shines through sometimes.
