Still catching up, just finished the Rain vs Jjakji games. Fantastic play from everyone involved. Not only are the games mostly macro back-and-forth slugfests, but you can see the players adapting to one another's playstyle, and really trying to outsmart each other. Polt's run-by and Obs deny, Classic incorporating a lot of Phoenixes, Jjakji dismantling Rain's Obs network, Rain being Rain. Might end up showing this RO8 to some non-SC initiates later this week.

One of the best tournament in long time IMO. Congrats to HerO and also gotta say huge thanks to IEM for releasing all the replays! Can't wait for IEM Katowice now. :D

Honestly... this was the perfect tournament. It couldn't have been any better for me as a HerO fan. The most STACKED day of amazing games I've ever had the pleasure to witness with the perfect end to it <3

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.


they lost 30k viewers because Jaedong lost to Hero

Actually the viewer count dropped like 10k in the downtime between JD vs Hero and the finals but was picking back up again as the finals started until there was an hour delay due to technical issues. Maybe that had something to do with the decrease in viewers?

Man. The finals day was too good.

I had to watch the grand final on a vod because I was simply too pumped and exhausted from cheering on the other games yesterday. I'm a massive Polt fan, but damn it was also great to see Hero happy again. :D

congrats, you just made yourself sound like a jerk. you never been through a stacked tournament like this, never had $10k on the line, never had to travel across the world and play sc2 for 10+ straight hours. he showed his emotions and i am sure alot of us can relate to feelings of barely winning a long game.

So saddened I was too late with purchasing tickets. Congrats to hero though. Definitely one of the best weekends in a long time

The Jaedong vs Hero series was more exciting to watch than the grand finals for me.
