lolwut? finally a non PvX finals and I missed it.
Guess the ever ongoing PvSomething games hurt my brain too much and i didn't care about the game anymore 
I should be ashamed I know.
No, its not that I don't like protoss or zerg, it just became boring (to me) that there were only pvp or pvz finals the last few months.
And not caring about the game left me missing the greatest matchup there is in sc2: TvZ
(I hope it still is, at least it was like that for a very long time )

Sure there were people who thought (and still think) that JD is the greatest thing ever, but there was no valid argument in 2013 that JD was better than Soulkey. Jaedong didn't just "lose" in his second place finishes in 2013, he got absolutely destroyed, by Polt, by Bomber, by sOs, etc. At least soO puts up a good fight (except against Solar).

Congrats  INnoVation, now it's time to prove you're the true heir to BoxeR (and learn nothing from beating  YellOw)

Soulkey had one good place the entire year, and that was the result of the largest choke in history. The rest was all 8-5ths.

GSL is more impressive because it's not a weekend tournament, and more prep/consistency is required.

You didn't even look at his TLPD page, did you?

With everything on the line in game 6, SoO had no gases on his 4th base and attacked off creep over and over again. What was in the production tab? Lings, banes, mutas. No upgrades, no hive, just showing off his godlike macro with tons of units. One has to question the decision to keep hammering in like that. All he had to do was back off, make a round of drones and tech hive. Wait for the Terran to come to him on his huge creep. Any another Terran might've fallen, but not Inno.

1 GSL
ro4 WCS Season 1 Finals
ro8 OSL
ro4 WCS KR 3
2nd Season 3 Finals
top 8 Blizzcon
WCG 1st
2nd BlizzCup.
I think we're looking at different versions of history.

Sadly not a single macro game in the whole series. I think soO should have gone macro after the first or second win - he made Flash look weak.
And not being able to defend 2 rax twice in a row with a proper BO counter is not excusable - this is why he isn't champion.
Congrats to Inno!

OUCH

Honestly, soO looks considerably different when playing in a finals. I think we have to genuinely agree there is some kind of mental block at this point.
|
Sounded like a prettty dissapointing finals, not too sad I missed it anymore
|
No mention of the WM drops in the last game that helped kill 50+ workers?

enjoyed reading this.however the games analysis were very generic and in some instances wrong
