Well maybe that was a bit of an unfair assessment. Who cares? I have been treated unfairly by this website dozens of times before myself.
Every person treats you unfairly either pro or con in different respects with your every social interaction. Welcome to the adult world. I am sometimes treated both favourably and unfavourably for no good reason. This is not some unique experience.
One of my customers had a database problem they could not solve. I solved it with the in house IT database specialist guy and he provided the explanation of the solution to management. No one understood what was going on and the CIO panicked. I had to throw on a $3000 suit, travel 800 km, go in, in-person, and repeat almost word-for-word what the in-house guy said. Suddenly, everyone understood. This is not the first time this has happened. Clearly, there is bias in these cases. Tall men in $3000 suits travelling from far away are treated very differently compared a short guy who works on the same floor speaking with an accent in a t-shirt and jeans. The world is an unfair place.
The Sc2 game is imbalanced. The game itself is "unfair". Players willing to tolerate the imbalance can enjoy the fun of 3 diverse races in combat.
So, for the sake of this discussion let's assume the game is imbalanced against my race by 7.5%. This means that occasionally someone worse than me will beat me. I am happy to pay that price for the enjoyment of the game. Many other great games feature many outcomes where a less skilled player beats a more skilled player. Its part of the fun.
The world is unfair, people (including SC2 players) are unfair, and the many great highly competitive games are unfair. This is a reality with which most young teenagers grapple and then learn to manage around by the time they are 18.
Hopefully, your struggles on this site help you in better dealing with the adult world. GL HF! See You On The Battlefield!

From my perspective some other notable moments: Zest/Dear royal road, fruitdealer, one-man-army Byun win vs sOs (rip two times blizzcon champ), gumigod's win in 2017 S2, stats' win in 2017 S1, Maru vs TY 2018 S3 finals, ....
I would love to include some Dark and Rogue wins but I just feel bad for Trap being the protoss finalist with the worst balance in 2019. I would also want to bring up L*fe, but we're all aware of the unfortunate facts. Feels bad that soO, sOs and parting never get a GSL title.

Inca versus Nestea has to be up there, not all memories are good!
There are other GSL finals were one player didn’t show up and got smacked on the day. I can’t really think of one where there was just such a gulf in class as that one.

Who's the real GOAT? Serral or Rogue?

That series was terrible, but Inca's Dark Templar rush massively increased my PvZ win-rate and I continued using it (or meta-adapted variations of it) for the rest of WoL and HotS. Good times!
Now it's basically impossible to get damage done with Dark Templar because Zerg doesn't need an Evolution Chamber to make Spore Crawlers...

Ok I was just about to fall asleep and then the match between soO and Fantasy w/ that hero banshee popped into my mind. Also sos vs bunny with nexus in terrans main.

"Unfortunately, INnoVation Becomes the GOAT"
LOL, perfect headliner for that topic/section
Still remember the disappointment/sadgness I felt about it all - "if only sOs won and became the GOAT!"
|
It's very fitting the last ever GSL was won by protoss, after such a long streak of not winning they deserve it. Cheers for 15 years of GSL!

That's a rundown on the memory lane ngl
