Honestly TY should have won 3-0 against Rogue but he threw game 3 away by clowning around (6 EBays at one point?) and then just lost control of the series. A TY vs. soO finals was what a lot of people were hoping for after the Ro8. I can understand why people think soO winning would have been a good narrative even if I don't agree, but how would TY winning would have been a good narrative? He had a pretty decent 2016 and had won a boatload of money already in 2017. Do you really think "good player wins a boatload of cash" is a good narrative? | ||

Serious question here, he must be one of the highest paid Starcraft players ever and yet most of that is off of second placings. I don't know how you can seriously want to retire when that is the case? i mean yea it sucks to lose but its not like he ISNT a successful progamer. Looks like he's made somewhere around $264,980 from big tournaments | ||

If TY won Blizzcon 2017 it would have made him the highest earning player in SC2, passing MVP. TY also said that he's thinking of retiring in his intro vid, like soO it would have been a capstone to a long career. | ||

Five points from this year and five pointers for next year: 1) Nathanias made a great couch controller. 2) All races made a comparable stretch into bracket based on original proportions. 3) FREE TO PLAY HYPE!!! 4) Most of the stuff was free to watch in 720p on Twitch. (Still, the # of people mistaking 5 ARMY for 5 APM were hilarious) 5) Special giving Stats a run for his money!!!! 1) Next year, please change the format to: RO 16: 4 Groups, BO5, double-elimination RO 8: 2 Groups, BO5, double-elimination Semifinals - Finals: BO 7 2) Next year, please rescale the prizepool (see previous post about skew). It's already a generous hunk of $$$ so this doesn't matter as much as it might otherwise. 3) Casting ethos, part A: I can't believe casters failed to mention how many 2-3 reverse sweeps TY has been through this year. I want informed casters who will share useful stuff. 4) Casting ethos, part B: I don't care if soO has lost 7 finals. It's unacceptable to talk about a player just through that kind of lens. Winning/Losing is 10% of the game. Content is 90%. What I heard this year is the equivalent of everytime you talk to a disabled person, only talking about their disability. Not OK. {If you're reading this, soO, I believe in you still. You have the best ZVP in the world!!!} 5) Mr. sound person......... pls balance the audio. | ||
