I really think it was the sOs/herO final, because I remember the LoL fans being pleased with how fast stuff was progressing and then becoming pissed when herO actually took a map, delaying the series some more. But it's totally possible 2015 was similar, since this was a rather common occurence before ESL figured out the "main stage economy" so to say.

I don't remember any similar issues (or at least not to the same extent) during the other years.


Ah yeah, it was Zest vs Trap. I remember that too.


Thanks for digging out that thread Ziggurat, that's the one I remembered! That's confirmation I did indeed mix the finals up. Funny, I could've sworn it was herO/sOs.

That thread on reddit is a real gem. All those LOL-gamers going "wow this SC2 stuff looks super difficult".
