These guys played for over 10 hours of intense matches dude they have constant mindset switches and have to deal with a lot of mindgames and pressure in general. You would be on your knees after 5 hours probably...

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


Yes and i became so disappointed in JD when he threw the last game by engaging of creep outside of spines

No mention of the 1hr+ delay thanks to Blizzard's decision to not include LAN? We really letting them off the hook that easy?

Blizzard will probably implement LAN by 2025 by the time SCIII comes out On a more serious note, yes, that delay was pretty bad(wasn't 1+ hr though) but that was due to some technical issue(server maintenance or something) which could have been avoided so I wouldn't necessarily blame lack of LAN for it(not that LAN wouldn't have helped).

cmon, he's still pretty young and as mentioned, he hasn't won anything in a while. Infact, I've completed written HerO off at this point but then he took down hard opponents and reminded me that he still exists and will continue to be a contender for a championship yet again.

Legendary players, huge games, (almost) balanced races, drama, tears, nails bitten. Everything was gathered for a great tournament and we had it. Too bad these technical issues made the viewers count drop by 33%.

Gratz HerO !

A bit sad for Polt though, seeing him winning against Rain gave me so much confidence in him winning the tournament...

Oh and what was that drama I missed ? (Wait, I'll get my pitchfork).

Jaedong losing game 5 to HerO after beating his all in and being up in army/worker supply? It was quite disappointing to say the least but Jaedong shouldn't have throw away his lead by losing 15-20 roaches on 2 gateways and an immortal.

The whole tournament was really high level play. I actually enjoyed this tournament way more than any GSL group so far or Proleague playoffs. But this would be so much better if Polt managed to eliminate the last standing protoss as well.

I guess you can't have everything.

Starcraft is so not dead and that makes me happy.

Oh okay. I missed quite a few games of the semis (I'll check the VODs then).
Thanks

EDIT: Ooooh I knew about it in fact, thanks to R1CH hahaha !

How do you know hes not seeking for help? He has stated many times that he has. Some health issues havent been solved by medicine you know. You will grow up and feel this first hand, although I wish you wont have to. Especially after 35yo you'll see.

On a second note, the tournament had very good games, but I DO NOT UNDERSTAND in ANY WAY why they dont START the tournaments EARLIER FFS. They lost 30k viewers because of the time, maybe more. The delay played little part. Start the damn tournament earlier Im at work having 4 hours of sleep and its not the first time.

this IEM delivered beyond my imagination, i would have personally loved Polt to win, but he really showed a brilliant TvP style.
Congratulations to Hero!
