I'm pretty sure NesTea is already a back-to-back GSL champion.

If Maru takes the championship vs TY or GuMiho after beating Classic, that would really cement his reputation. Hardest TvZ, hardest TvP, and then at least one of the hardest TvTs for the title. I'm not sure there could be a harder road.

Depends on what you consider the 2011 Super Tournament to be that occurred between the seasons that Nestea won. Polt is generally regarded as a GSL champ so I don't believe Nestea is considered a back-to-back champ.

Personally, even though I really want to, I don't consider Nestea a back-to-back champ. The 2011 Super Tournament was vastly different from the ones of today and was just as rigorous as a regular season. Not to mention the early GSLs underwent so many format changes that it may as well count as a season.

Exactly.

There is also Zest and INno who won GSL organised tournaments + a GSL season at the same time, but those tournaments were not GSL season nor a tournament like the one Polt won.
SC2 is the best game to watch and was the best to play before I grew old and slow...

If Maru gets past Classic (and it's a big if), he will rofl stomp Zest.

As always, Classic is not favored or hyped, no matter his form or his historically amazing PvT.
I sure hope he stomps Maru.
I will be extra happy if he does it with cheese, all-ins & protoss bullshit

Classic is so lucky... Roguejwa would have embarrassed him, but instead he got a free ticket to finals, where he will get even easier opponent.
I know classic is a PvT God but it's so hard to root for him... Boooring.

Classic is finally past all of the zergs and it seems as if nearly no one is rooting for him.
Poor lad has had himself knocked out by former team mates and zergs in most every GSL since he was the champion (beating zerg team mate soO in the final).

I am not rooting for him either. Gogo first repeat champion!


I'm still rooting for Classic and Dear. But every time I have hope/faith in Classic, he gets stomped (usually by a SKT Zerg like Dark/SoO). Hoping this time around he may finally get through to the finals and maybe even win it all.
