Then just let this SC2 version of "fight of the century" happen again and I'm so ready right now. Its PPV might be higher than Mayweather vs. Pacquiao "Since I've already lost a lot of games lately against INnoVation, I really want to get my revenge and beat him. That would be nice. I don't know if I can do it though..." He said it would be nice if he won, but his chances are meh. Not sure if honest or just Korean things. | ||

Crazy builds are powerful in PvP but sOs will need much more than that to take down a non-Protoss player | ||

That was honestly the sexiest and most deliberate move I have seen all season, maybe year. What a game. Absolutely agree on this. The best moment of the whole series. And I must say I was not surprised by the outcome of that match. Stats has guaranteed spot at BlizzCon and already won GSL this year, maybe he just focus on a SSL title, since he doesn't have one yet. Or made a bet againt himself  But either of that is or is not true - sOs was on fucking fire. Gotta love that guy when his BS and mind games work, it seems like he's a pure genius. Also, it is an odd year, so it must be pretty clear to anyone that sOs is on his way to win another BlizzCon, right?  But srsly, if he could pull off a BlizzCon win after a GSL victory this year, there would be no more debate about SC2 bonjwa - three times world champion and most earnings from SC2 ever  | ||

I find it hard to predict the outcome when sOs is playing. All I hope for is that sOs will keep his "win every attended Blizzcon". It would be fun if he also kept winning every odd year, i.e. 2013, 2015 etc. On the other hand, I want to see more games from not sOs at Blizzcon. sOs games have a different quality than other games. | ||

Innovation did lose in SSL to all 3 Protosses and has under 50% winrate in TvP in last month. Maybe it is just a small fluctuation in his form but it also may mean he did slip and bit in this matchup. He did repair his TvT maybe at the cost of practicing less of TvP? | ||

GSL rewards 3 times the monney than SSL in Final I think... so I can't see Stats focusing more on SSL (also he don't even know if he'll face a toss or a zerg in ssl | ||

He is able to perform absolute fantastically and absolute bronze the day after. And Stats already had some downs in his form this year. Point is, that there could be numerous different factors why did Stats lose.Last note - if it all was about money for him, the easiest way to get some is to bet against himself. I know that matchfixing is not a popular theme, but considering "money profit above all else" scenario, imagine that you are 100 % guaranteed BlizzCon attendee, you already won GSL this year and bets are heavily in your favor on that match. Why simply not to bet against yourself, especially when you can always defend yourself with "I played against known cheeser and trickster that caught me off guard"? Easy money. But I'm not saying that Stats did any of these, of course. My opinion is that he just lost to non standard play which is his commonly known weakness. | ||

And I don't mean in terms of money, but WCS points. Winning a league (albeit with playoffs) is definitely harder than a knockout competition, and more reflective of skill. Random variables like bracket luck are reduced, consistency of form is rewarded. | ||
