While I was not able to watch the PvP finals live, I was able to catch glimpses of the highlights for both Stats and Trap's respective semifinal matches and grandfinals series.

This year was probably even worse than 2019 for him, as he went to the Round of 4 in all 3 Code S if I remember correctly, while this year he was "only" a solid Ro8 Player. He still was insanely good in the Global commpetitions with 2 second places in DH Season Finals though. | ||

When you're good enough but you need the bracket luck  Thanks for the laughsOh, look, a true Protoss Champion. In a ST. The Protoss tournament. Sounds like a bad omen | ||

GSL Format, 2 Group stages, Play offs BO5 Finals BO7. The tournament must have a majority of the top players in SC2 competitive scene participating. An example would be you would never call a tournament without Korean Pro presence a major event. Any event that has all the top players in the world would be considered a major event if play offs are BO5 or more. SuperTournament is straight into playoff rounds and does not run for long which makes it much more volatile. So winning one is not considered as big an accomplishment as say a GSL or a ESL World Tournament the old Blizzcon etc. Any tournament that skips group stages single elim or loser brackets with bo3 until bo5 finals would also never be considered a major because more maps must be played so the results more accurately reflect who is the better player. So Protoss has still not won a major event. The streak has not ended. This is slightly more impressive than winning a monthly Olimoleague tournament finals. | ||

You do realize that this disqualifies Blizzcon as the majority of the top players are from Korea while the rules were - 8 spots for foreigners, 8 spots for Koreans? edit> eh, sorry, "GLobal Finals" | ||

WCS excluded the top Korean players, exception may be MMA who qualified via foreigner lands and almost won the stuff. And technically he won because he was defeated in the finals by the one who are we supposed to not name, Life. | ||
