Pretty good. I think it was 100k across all streams?

Yes, in total around 200k

Where did you get 200k from? 130k chinese, 30k on twitch stream but 40k from korean? Good turnout overall though.

Hmm maybe it was a bit less, but I'm sure it was close when it peaked

Here's screenshot of some of the streams. From Ethan Ahn

hmm fair enough ^^

Well, Classic won Proleague for STX SouL, lost for SKT T1.
Balance is restored.

Grats, KT, it was a nice ride.

Even more maddening, Classic held a proxy 2 rax in game 6 of proleague playoffs during his time on STX, against SKT. Oh the irony.

Jung Yoon Jong fighting, even after retirement! Feel better soon.

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


Stats played an awful game, Soulkey played a disastrous game

lol wut? like srlsy?

he threw 2 colossi which was sooo dumb but maybe that was the pressure.
He shouldn't have thrown away the zealots to kill the 3rd of SK, but hiding the mothership and then roll over the zerg army that had no detection was genius and well prepared, he did not try to hold the 3rd like many would have and so on...

Stats GAVE UP his 3rd to buy time for more time for more Tempests to crush Soulkey's Brood Lords, so sacking the 3rd was intentional

This has to be one of the most fun i've had while watching a tournament in a while.

PS: Reached 2nd most watched stream on Twitch during the Flash vs Parting match, with 33,000 peak on the Twitch streams.
I love Blizzard's stuff and Korea ~ <3

Other than losing those two colossus, Stats played extremely well.

Actually he gave it up because it was nearly mined out and he was already taking another base. It was kind of a lure, but more of an "I dont need this"
If all men were created equal there would be no reason to declare it.

Kinda anti climactic finish but great strategy nonetheless.

I really can't accept that Classic would play a greedy build on a match set.

It's like Spurs beating Heat once again.
I you cant beat them, join them.

Great set of games!

Though it's clear SKT1 lost because they decided to use only 2 races, missing out on terror of terran was a mistake.
Too weird to live... too rare to die.

They should have fielded a Terran, there should be (T)FanTaSy and FUCK they were just too confident.

Exactly what I thought too... majority of their games they seem like they didn't prepare anything new at all. While KT looked like they practiced and studied their opponent's tendencies and countered it with a strategy for each game. The 2 games SKT1 won were mirror matches too.

What in the hell do you mean mercs? Liquid HerO was a merc for IM, ST Life was a merc for IM, but Soulkey and Classic are all actual SKT GUYS, and soO of all ppl (wtf?) there is no such thing as an SKT WINS means not won by someone, if its won, then its won, IF IM won PL with Liquid HerO, it is still an IM win, it doesn't matter, your logic man
