You need to ask Stats that question, Inno played exceptionally well but there is no denying Stats played better

None of the remaining players have won a GSL title yet, am I right? We will have a first-time GSL champion this year.

Actually I think TY and InnO threw that. Why ? They felt themselves superior to Soo and Stats (obviously). And with very fast 2-0, they might have thought "ok i had this, lets just play with them" . Then they lost 3 games in a row just as quick as the first 2 ones. . I'm not taking away anything from Soo and Stats but the 2 Terrans clearly underestimated their opponents way too much. They might be arrogant after the easy ro16 and thought they're already in ro4 considering their opponents are easiest as possible (TY avoided Dark and Inno just 4-0ed Stats at IEM) .
If TY and Inno played with their best, I dont think they would ever lose 3 games a row, it's impossible, especially in their strongest MU.

Whats with the same-day spoilers posted on TL these days? Every time a round completes I come on here and there's a big headline like "SOO AND STATS IN SEMIFINALS"

The vods aren't even up on youtube yet. They just posted the first half 2 hours ago.

Thanks for that

Too funny, all the Innovation D-riders are now silenced. Congrats to both players that advanced, simply amazing play from SoO, I thought he was done for after the first two games.

Cool to see Soo win, I didn't expect that.
In game 3 I was surprised that TY didn't push or atleast poked, instead TY clears some creep and backs up back home, anyone have a good explanation as to why?

I will always cheer for toss because i am playing the race mysef.
But i must say, that i cant see a better fairytale endling than SoO winning this. I predicted he would win his match, but after the first two games i lost faith. SoO made a awesome comeback that truely deserves more attention that he is getting.
Especially with his history of 2nd places..

Soo winning GSL would be one of the greatest moments of sc2 history and resurrect the game. ok maybe not resurrect the game, but wow it would be an inspirational story

it would be a dream if soO wins GSL. But he can still face sOs and imbacarriers or any other random protoss bullshit. I'm hoping for a Ryung soO final with soO winning it. Fat chance i know Hopefully Classic and Innovation will help soO to finally get his title.
Why so serious?

soO said that it's a really weird timing and TY has no way of knowing how many roaches soO is building. Too few and TY wins the game. Too many and TY loses his whole army and it's over. TY did the safer thing, thinking he would have the advantage in the late game.

Great games. I for myself enjoy seeing cheese-tactics among macro games. It's part of SC II and champions will be able to defend against them.

I thought the same. All I can think is he was being cautious and thought there was a possibility that soO had more units and didn't want to get caught on creep.

LotV games are very bad recently. IIRC most of the games ended with the game timer under 10 mins. Who wants to watch that when downtime is 5 minutes?

Even from gut feel the game speed is way too fast and 1 battle decides who wins.

There is no buildup, everything is poke poke poke, big army all in. IMO 2011-2012 WoL was better.
There is no such thing is "e-sports". There is Brood War, and then there is crap for nerds.

WoL and HotS games weren't significantly longer than 10 mins on average but the game clock was higher because the game clock ran 40% faster than real life and in LotV that was changed to make the game clock the same as real seconds and minutes. When the game clock in WoL/HotS reads 15:00, the same amount of time has passed as when the clock in LotV reads 10:52. Plus LotV gets into the action faster because players start with six more workers. There was more in-game downtime in WoL/HotS. And the actual downtime between GSL games reaches five minutes only during the one longer break that happens after the third game and in between matches.

You just described the buildup? The players are making a ton of choices on build order and unit composition and economic investment, and then with the pressure and harass they're playing tactically and handling unit positions and splitting armies. The decision to make a strong push that may put the player out of position to defend further harass is calculated based on everything that has happened up to the point, not some pre-determined part of the strategy. If you choose to be ignorant of everything that's going on and you don't enjoy it, it makes no sense to come to a forum of hardcore fans and complain that your casual approach isn't satisfying the depth you want to see. No sense at all. It's there if you want it.
