Seed got lucky against Byun, but I wouldn't call that alone a fluke. He also beat Curious twice, Taeja, Violet, and Symbol (scariest player that season) along the way too.
Jjakji vs Leenock was probably the best collection of games. Both played extremely well, will never forget all the sick moves Jjakji pulled off in game 1 in particular on TDA.
I just can't get over MMA vs DRG though, I know a number of the games weren't amazing, but the story line...3-0 into 3-3 into one of the best games of all time in a deciding 7th game, it's pretty hard to beat. The casting was incredible from Tastosis, got the biggest nerd chills ever. Just an amazing game to end a fascinating series.
Hell I like Mvp; but even a year and a half later I'm still disgusted and frustrated by that proxy rax loss. X-D
Was a surprisingly good series throughout for a finals, too. No truly terrible games compared to other finals.
Seed/MC was such a let down. PvP had been starting to get pretty good and develop a lot more, and people were just starting to really understand what they were seeing. Stage all set to be a showcase of modern (for the time) PvP. Instead it just fell flat. :-\
Man, this writer is such a negative nancy. So what the games weren't as good as we see them today, point out the landmarks and beginnings of refined strategy or just talk about the series positive effects on upcoming games to follow. These games are the youth of modern day sc2. They should be better respected.

Some of these finals were not bad games compared to nowadays. They were bad compared to the whole season they were played (ro32 to ro4).

It's for the same reason that even during the worst of GomTvT, we still had amazing games. Most games were boring, because we had so much TvT. But we also had some of the most epic TvT of all time played at that time. And that GSL final was nearly glorious
