Like the jjakji vs Leenock (n°3) sounds absolutely awesome and it's nowhere in the GSL youtube channel or on the GSL website. If anyone has some links to these games which are deprieved of it, I'd be sooo grateful Otherwise, excellent article, as said, the GSL nov final paragraph really made me want to watch this game and it's not the only one ! | ||

Qualified for Blizzcon handily, made several deep runs in premier tournaments in the fall, absolutely killed it in the ATC Playoffs recently. Yeah, he's top 16 worldwide. It'd be tough to find 16 players who were more successful / dominant than he was these past few months. | ||

I remember that in one of the last matches, if not the last, they went for a base trade, Jjakji had no scans, and Leenock had placed mines everywhere. A single hit would simply kill Jjakji, at least until he found Leenock or stabilized. Jjakji did something extremely crazy: started to try landing his command center on random places to find out where the mines were. Majestic. This, the hidden base and many other little things Jjakji made demonstrated that he truly is a great and imaginative player. Too bad he's too inconsistent, but at his best he really was one of the best things SC2's seen. | ||

From early game medivac harass, to marine tank to hellion run bys to 2 rax proxy to a god damn Battlecruiser vs Void Ray/Mothership game. It also had the best story with Mvp's wrists falling apart and barely scraping by the entire season with cheese after cheese into playing 6 straight up macro games and holding his own into one of the most epic endings of all time. There is really nothing that will ever top this series again and nothing more you could have asked from the match. | ||

There was so much hype and emotions around DRG making his come back, and then the last game that came down to every last mineral patch to the low economical finish. The casting was even more amazing. You only hear those rare moments of Tastosis genuinely going insane and with powerful emotional casting, that game for sure had that moment. Too bad I don't hear that from them anymore... Nestea vs SC game 5. Never forget! | ||

- Player 1 played sloppily for 3 games - player 2 played sloppily for 3 games - Final game: Both players play well then player 1 randomly drops the ball at the end and anticlimatically loses while appearing to have won. | ||

Novelty factor. Stephano vs. Kiwikaki at IPL3 was a very highly rated game because of Kiwikaki's skillful use of the Mothership, culminating in a fantastic archon toilet at the end. It was awesome because it was creative and rarely seen before, and it is exciting because of the high amount of damage dealt in the short period of time. Later, as archon toilets became very standard in ZvP, almost to a point where every late game had one, it lost the novelty value and it got boring. Squirtle vs. Mvp was interesting because the novelty factor was there. You don't usually see full Terran sky vs. Protoss, and you don't see archon toilets against Terran. Now if it was more common, then it wouldn't be as exciting. | ||

I lost some of the finals because of that and later friends told me to go and watch them because they were really good (MVP vs Squirtle, MVP vs Life) I want to see different things again instead a copy of a same game over and over with different players :'( I will save this link on bookmarks just to remember how this game was fun to watch time ago. | ||
