The first two games were underwhelming overall so I can see why the whole series wasn't rated high. Plus there were the balance whiners hurting the pools.

Yeah that is true. I just figured so many people would be recommending that final game that it would make it anyway.

I usually dont watch sc2 outside of proleague, but i have to say that it was a good final.

Really was the sickest tournament.

HerO's harass was incredible in the finals. Really well played.

Gawd when JD lost that game 5 vs Hero I wanted to smash my keyboard.

He had it except for one impatient engagement where he left his creep and lost most of his hydras.

I feel like a sage having called the result from the start of the tournament.

Congrats to HerO! Watching Jaedong lose that game 5 was so heartbreaking though. He defeated the all-in, was up a base and like 20+ army supply on top of the worker supply difference then he ended up making mistakes and HerO just kept building his army with more sentries, immortals and micro'd till Jaedong had nothing left. You can just tell how Jaedong was feeling after he lost that game from his view.

Polt's play was also pretty sad to watch. I always remembered that he had much better decision making and micro and against someone like HerO who keeps doing ht drops, he shouldn't have lost anywhere near the amount of SCVs that he did. He also sat in storms for way too long and didn't split much in some cases eating full storms. That was disappointing to watch lol. His 4 nexus swipe was something that I would recommend to watch though!

dont hate my ass, but Im not happy about hero winning this, someone should tell the kid to calm down or seek help, it was a pain to watch these camera shots where he was about to cry after a game he won = wtf

What is wrong about showing some emotions after a victory ? Wouldn't you be happy if your hard work pays off ?

At some point it seemed p-p finals for sure. Glad not this time. JD vs Polt finals would`ve made this tournament perfect.

Finals were perfect. Polt's TvP is something beyond

I'm sure you've heard this before but most people have emotions. When they win a lucrative international event against the best in their field and justify their choice of livelihood, it's a big deal for them.

I was rooting for Classic and never expected him to lose to Polt coz Classic had the godly TvP and was unstoppable last months I thought it were nerves but then Rain also lost in crazy macro games so I was extremely surprised and sad that proleague.players were eliminated but Polt play was incredible I am disappointed that my fav player at the end vent was eliminated but respect Polt for such entertaining games.

Damn I quoted myself if someone can plz merge my posts
