At first all this toss imba bandwagon was fun... But now i'm a bit scared O_O I realized that they might turn SC2 in to some stupid RNG directed by the Michael Bay with a lot of piw-piw and no substance just for sake of casual market


We have seen 13 different big tournament winners so far this year and only three of them are one time champions (as far as I can remember). Not feeling that "general trend" of yours.

Congrats to the baby pig. Little sucky for Bomber but second isn't bad. It really was his series to win, but Pigbaby is great at responding to his opponents builds. (not so much at executing his own, carriers anyone?) Awesome finals none the less.
If all men were created equal there would be no reason to declare it.

kinda was looking forward to Pigbaby dancing his stalkers before the fight in each game, like he did vs Xigua

in his 2 matches vs Xigua, before the battle even started, Pigbaby danced his stalkers in front of Xiguas army

2 times in a row

so BOSS

he should have done that in the final 4 too

or maybe he only dances and taunts foreigners, but with other korean plays manner

Soo...You mean the player that should win is the one thats most known and not the better player...?

absolutely not, what i am saying is that i believe it is hypocritical for the community to QQ about sOs because he was "unknown" which he wasn't vs everyone instantly falling in love with pigababy. Does any1 remember that code s ro32 group with Killer Pigbaby Parting Soulkey? Of course not.
Pigbaby won, which is completely fine, I am just a little bothered by the reaction of teh community

You are bothered that people are happy for the guy that won?

I get that you are annoyed by the apparent hypocrisy, but being happy for the champion is a good thing so it means that things are improving and there is nothing at all to be upset about. I'd be much more bothered if we bitched and whined about Pigbaby just like we did to sOs as if we were as bad as we were 8 months ago.

People are cheering for him because of the way that he won. His victory against TaeJa was interesting because of the huge upset that it was. But if he had simply played a standard style in all matches against bomber, no one would have gotten excited.

Instead this: 2 base carriers, base trades, 2 base tempest.

The finals were just that good, and so people are cheering for both contestants.

To my viewing, QXC did a phenomental job casting WCS America. He provided several moments of real insight that made me sit up and take pause.

I hope we get to hear more of him in the booth.


Completely agree. Not only great insights, but also good showmanship and funny jokes. I was really impressed with him.

Also the finals are pretty cool for anyone for who haven't watched them yet ^^

Anyone know if Pigbaby is staying in the US for Redbull Atlanta in a couple days?
Actually, does anyone know anything about Redbull Atlanta in general? Did I miss a player list? Because I havent heard anything really... and its less than 4 days away.

QXC did great, a fantastic addition to the WCS NA team.

I wish Bomber would have won the ZPcraft tournament....

Amazing series. Really sad Bomber didn't win but Pigbaby was damn entertaining and definitely deserved it. Can't wait for next season now.

I was absolutely crushed when he beat TaeJa, but that was one heck of a finals. That last game, as clowny as it was, will be remembered for a long time in the "remember that finals where ___?" kind of way.

Congratulations to Pigbaby! The first WCS AM royal roader!
