There is only one guy who got the title Steelballs.

There is a lot of irony in SKT1 losing proleague finals to a bunker rush...

Even though I was super upset that PartinG lost, it does kind of have a silver lining for me in a way. It would just feel a little...wrong for Flash to be on the losing end of a one-sided rivalry. After all, he is Flash, and it's good for the PartinG-Flash rivalry and for the SC2 scene as a whole for Flash to have that fearsome aura. It keeps things interesting.

So well played KT, it's a well earned victory, and regardless of who won, that was the funnest/most hype tournament since Blizzcon for me. I can't wait for next season; this seems to me to be the first big step of a new legacy and series of storylines in SC2. <3 Proleague.

I congratulate KT on their victory, but it was more SKT mistakes than KT brilliance that gave it to them. "Let me get 2 collossus for free, and then just not death push. "Let me make broodlords against Protoss with 8 voidrays. "Im gonna go nexus first against a Kespa Terran." You let me down boys, you let me down
If all men were created equal there would be no reason to declare it.

SO glad I actually stayed up for that, even if I only got a few hours of sleep afterwards. 100% worth it, that was incredible and I can't wait for the next season of Proleague!! And of course, congrats to KT! :D

SKT1 Terrans had a history of using bunker rushes in high stakes matches in BW. Boxer invented the strat and he led SKT1 to quite a few proleague championships as a player and a coach. There was a game where Fantasy bunker rushed Jaedong in proleague finals when their rivalry was the biggest thing in the scene.

Jaedong retaliated a week later:

or in the 2012-13 SPL semi-finals when Fantasy 2-raxed Classic (STX at the time) and there was even a gif of Boxer nodding in excitement like they'd won the game and then Classic held it.

That was also in game 6...

You're really selling Stats short, Soulkey played well, it's just that Stats played even better.
