But I don't think it was that hype going into the event. More something that just happened. The Life vs Maru IEM final (which I think is still the most viewed sc2 match) was the last one I remember being what everyone wanted to see. | ||

HerO vs Polt at IEM Cologne 2014 was really exciting for the 10 people that stayed up to watch it. But damn those 10 people got spoiled. What a sick final that was. | ||

Not at first, but after watching Polt dismantle Rain and Classic while HerO looked like (and probably was) the best PvTer in the world, and especially after that ridiculous tournament, people were extremely excited for the finals and it really delivered. And really I just want people to remember that, because it never gets mentioned when great finals are brought up and it was probably better than most of the other finals that are ;( | ||

Think about all the Neeb Serral matches that never happened in WCS. I mean Life vs PartinG was pretty epic. I honestly don't think that Serral vs Maru is the best grand finals anyway. I think it's Maru vs sOs. | ||

Maru vs Serral is by far the best final in terms of hype. The viewership would probably be double what it would if it were something like Stats vs Classic. | ||

For the general public for sure. Personally I'm not sure I could get through watching the stream without muting if that's the final so I'd rather have some other matches  | ||

And I'm sorry I just honestly don't think that Serral would do well against Maru in a finals. Maru vs sOs would be pure epicness - The current best player in the world, the guy who is SUPPOSED to win, against the guy who always deprives us of those great narratives at Blizzcon. | ||

Personally I'd probably find the casters and Serral fans unbearable. I also think Maru vs Dark would be the best finals in terms of producing a good series. | ||
