As much as I loved the whole tournament, in the end i missed Artosis and Tasteless cast in the final, especially with the outcome. They casted soO much loosing final. Does anyone know, why they stayed away?

Thankfully they stayed away...if you want to talk about travesties, the timing of Blizconn made them miss a BW finals of Flash vs. Effort. I almost would rather have not even had them at Blizzcon if it meant they got to cast that.

Silver and gold
Silver and gold
I'd rather have soO win than silver and gold
No fame or fortune
Nor riches untold
I'd rather have soO win than silver and gold

Don't give me a mansion
On top of the hill
Don't give me the world
With a shallow thrill
Don't just give me a sAviOr
My life soO can hold
I'd rather have soO than silver and gold

moonglade and valdez casted the Kespa Cup with SoO winning, you might be onto something.

soO broke the curse in the most unlikely situation. Squeezed by Group Stage with 2-3 record and 0-2 down vs Stats. I really thought the curse was too strong and soO would lose 2-4 again.

Feel bad for Stats but I'm sure he is fine. Still the most consistent Protoss in the past several years and a force to be reckon with.

Also, Stats will never be Kong. He is GSL, SSL and Super Tournament champion. You gotta lose some when you make to many finals.

me too, it was such an emotional moment. I'll be honest I was not a fan of soO back in in 2013-2015 but just seeing the sheer perseverance to keep coming back over and over again I don't know how anyone could feel nothing or be disappointed the he has finally done it

What a tournament. Serral's series and tournament streak ends and soO finally wins again.

Now if soO can banish his greatest demon of all this will truly be a crazy year already. Win the GSL

All's well that ends well. Years of Kong washed away by this single glorious redemption.

soO's story is now the happiest of all.

Kind of dissapointing games in the finals.
6 out of 6 games Stats went for the same allin with little variations. He's micro wasn't good either in some key moments. He got soO in the first two games but thats it, after that the build was pretty much figured out.

SoO played pretty well, but the games he played against Serral were miles better. Yeah, but that has to do something with the current state of the PvZ match up.

Overall after the games he played against Serral he deserved this win more than anyone else.

As the ultimate Maru fanboy and terran supporter I have to say I wouldn't have wanted this tournament to end any other way then it did (some more TvZ would have been great though). So happy for soO, he played well!


Same here bro I really happy for him !
