If these games tonight were example of "good" PvP games then it's no wonder why so many people still hate the match up, myself included.
I TRIED to sit through tonight's games I just couldn't do it. The only one that even caught my interest was Rain vs HerO game 2 with the proxy rush that turned into a wacky base race.
Watch parting vs classic game 1. Parting beats unscouted proxy 2 gate with probe counter-attack and 2 stalkers
I did see that one.
First PvP match in I can't remember how long that actually had me cheering at 4 in the morning.
Parting does that though, he provides entertainment that's why I love that guy.

Isn't it better to watch mindgames instead of flow of roaches? :D PvP is just more about preparations, while ZvZ and TvT are more about positioning in game.
A bit sad for sOs, but i guess, it's k. Getting seed for next Code S is no easy task, so i just hope that next Code S will be even better for him <33 And i won't see PartinG-sOs finals to be sad forever lol.
Rain tho...REVENGE HAS TO BE TAKEN. And if PartinG meets Rain in finals, it will be amazing, while sad as well lol.
Don't get me wrong, I find mid and late game ZvZ dull as hell too.
It's the early game of that match up that catches my interest. No matter how many times I see it Ling/Baneling wars is the fastest paced highest margin of error match up in SC2. Watching the pros play it is truly a treat.
It's pretty common to have practice partners from other teams (for individual leagues) and to thank them after games. I'd be very surprised if there's anything more to it.

Rain tends to play a safer macro oriented style that doesn't abuse the fact that Protoss has about a million openings, Terrans are probably sighing in relief when they have to play him at the moment.
I wonder how Parting and Soo practice. Do they play with each other all the time, or they don't play with each other at all. xD Are they in separate rooms and don't talk to each other, does Rain help Parting or Soo?

they actually hang out a lot. most koreans in code S know each other very well unlike SOS who rarely talks. xD
Its really too bad that the first series was such a one sided curb stomping I bet that if these games were played 10 days from now they would put on a much better show. $O$'$ face looked jet lagged and tired.
At least the year in review article has its easy "worst series of 2014 winner"
When can we call some of those protoss the new dragons of StarCraft? Or colossi, for lack of dragoons. Too late to use that as hype material for now. :-)
