Korean finals are never good. Last great finals was in HoTS. I guess Zest vs TY was okay until the end.
Katowice was incredible though. Shows that finals are good when we get evenly matched players

If there is not a mental block it should be a massacre. GuMiho is the best Terran in Code S this season and very arguably has been the best player. He's beaten Zest, aLive, Stats, Trap, TY and Maru, dropping 4 maps in total. If he's not Code S material, nobody is.
He's not all wrong though, gumiho doesn't have the same starpower that a zest or maru etc have. Nor does he have the history, he's considered a 2nd tier player by most.
It would be annoying if he wins this GSL only to perform badly against foreigners at blizzcon for example. Especially if it means that Dark, maru etc don't make it in.

Nice, that means one of them will win GSL, One "looser" will become a winner. Maybe I will root for Guminho as soO with that many WCS points will be in the WCS finals. (Hopefully soO will win the WCS finals, that would be a "better story" than win this one)
I hope the matches in the final will better and longer than the ro4 matches, I want to see some mech from Guminho
I know it does not mean anything, but I gathered their matches from 2017 (online games): 06/06/2017: GuMiho 3–2 soO 05/21/2017: GuMiho 3–1 soO 04/18/2017: GuMiho 2–0 soO 03/13/2017: GuMiho 0–3 soO 03/09/2017: GuMiho 3–0 soO 03/09/2017: GuMiho 3–2 soO 01/30/2017: GuMiho 2–0 soO

Korea has had good finals before, we just got a bit unlucky with the last few ones.
Mvp vs Squirtle

Another 2nd place finish, congrats soO!
|
|
Damn what a strory line! Can't wait for the finals.
|
i'd like to congratulate gumiho on his first ever GSL title
|
soO's law: you either don't make it through the Ro16 or you're second
|
|
Well, that was an ugly sweep. Soo made it look so easy.
|
|
I wonder if soO will lose this on purpose. just because another 2nd place would fit better to his collection. I mean he must be quite relaxed about this after all this time... Would love for him to win, though!

The rogue's curse its broken! :o

That was one of the ugliest series I've ever had the misfortune of seeing. I mean if Classic fell off then face of the earth after this i wouldn't blame him. We witnessed a man get raped and I for one was disgusted.

I'm happy Gumiho finally get a GSL trophy, he's never looked better and his record in online cups have repeatedly been beating down the very top of KR scene. And soo overtaking yellow's record for runner up is it's own prestige! Congrats to both players for their achievements.
