I'm really curious how long they will continue this streak. I wish WCS Eu was ending before WCS Am. With WCS AM ending first I think the streak stops here. Though Oz/Alicia/Arthur all definitely have a chance to win but Polt and Taeja are heavily favored. | ||

I think he is making a joke saying his previews have a lot of influence on how the pros play.  Oh, it was sly joke. Thanks. Sorry Wax, I get it now. I had no idea you could mind control Korean pros with your prose (pun intended). :D | ||

I watched these finals and only 30000k watched it?? if this had a terran, it would of been higher. I feel like protoss is a boring race to watch and thats why people aren't excited. I'm sad because this finals should of been huge based on games.. but it wasn't | ||

It went all 7 games, SOo would of won if he did not throw 2 or 3 games that he had in the bag. Both played legit macro strats, with zest only doing a few cheesy builds. SC2 gets more views compared to when it started out. Stop with this stupid "protoss op no one watches sc2 anymore crap" There was no swarm hosts or anything boring or "op" in this best of 7, please stop joke. It was a good finals. | ||

As you said, sad thing that most of the Zest's comebacks weren't because he did something amazing but because SoO was doing something stupid. :/ Isn't that how it always is? In SC2, it's almost impossible to create a comeback if the leading player doesn't make massive mistakes. I didn't watch the games (fortunately or unfortunately), but this was a lot closer for Zest than I thought it'd be. Either way, glad to see Zest royal road it and take the trophy. Kinda surprised to see no Immortal all ins and basically all macro games (or super early "cheese"). I mean, maybe that's how Zest plays, but I'd imagine you'd see at least 1 Immortal all in. And good on soO to put up such a fight. If he just tightens up his play in big situations a bit more, he should be able to win a few trophies. | ||

Although it's kind of pointless to respond to the usual balance whine, I might point out that 2012 was year of the zerg while 2013 HotS was the year of terran, so if Protoss won a few big tournaments in a row in 2014, well it's a bit of karma frankly. And certainly in terms of GSL success, they have long been a distant 3rd to zerg and terran. As for this finals, it seemed pretty clear that player skill determined the outcome and not balance. Zest won despite not once going blink all-in or any other all-in timings for that matter, and the only time he went for cheesiness, he lost. The way Zest played, it's impossible to say anything except that he won, fair and square. | ||

 Really happy for Zest here, and definitely happy for KT as well! Looking forward to catch up with the VODs (are these available without a subscription by the way?) | ||
