The game Foxer vs Kyrix set 5 was just ridiculous epic awesome and the series was the first we got to the insane marine micro. So GSL2 for me overall. I loved though how Jinro got superfar in 3. | ||

At the time: all zerg had been eliminated by the ro8, zerg was considered way underpowered, Fruit was doubting zerg himself, the map pool was terrible for him, Intotherainbow was a strong favorite to win, and he was but a fruit merchant. Against all that, Fruit curbstomped the shit out of ItR and claimed his prize. - Tester. The cheese deflecter - TLO vs Hyperdub game 1 was fantastic - Davit - Inca played some good pvp games - Cliiiiide - Maru vs Cella upset The finals Fruitdealer vs Intotherainbow was amazing...I thought GSL 2 besides Marineking play was kind of boring....It wasn't better then the GSL 1...GSL 3 the match that sticks out for me is Clide vs Leenock which was great...I have to say I think GSL 1 is the best. Skill wise is hard to tell it seems like it is getting bigger and bigger but then watch Nestea lose over and over to the same thing is just funny. Fruitdealer playing terrible against Hongunprime it was just weird. | ||

GSL1 wasn't the best for anything skillwise, but it had Tester's epic anti-cheese play and FruitDealer. GSL3 had the best Protoss play (which is my preferred race) but TvZ got boring. I voted S3 but now I think more about S2 lol. | ||

His match against kyrix was just awesome. The final was meh cause I think Nestea is too standard. Sure he was more robust and safe and made good decision like Artosis said but it made it less fun imo. SlayerSBoxeR against Nada was also awesome. Loved Jinro in season 3 but seeing all those terran marine rush diluted the strat because they were not the creator and all copied Foxer without the incredible micro. Season 1, can't comment realy because I wasn't aware of GSL back then and didnt have the time to watch it completely, only the final. Fruitdealer was great but I can't vote only on the small part I have seen. | ||

I like GSL1 a lot more than 2 because I guess I just like FD a lot more than NesTea, and GSL2 finals were pretty boring I guess. GSL 2 FINALS WERE BORING? what were you watching? | ||

Season 3 is about Terrans grabbing everything they have an attacking the zergs. So dull. Season 1 also had a terribad roster of players who somehow made it on. Plus GSL1's finals was a one sided rape, where Rainbow bent over and took it. Took it hard. Season 2 had an awesome/intense finals and the games were good enough that it outclassed all the other seasons. | ||

Unfortunately towards GSL 3 finals i dont have much hype at all, not even sure if i'll watch it live. It seems that GSL 1 and 2 finals were discussed so much more and people looked foward to them. I guess we have to blame rain. Forgot to mention, the players did not exactly get the best maps at all. It seems like instead of some players losing to other players those players lost to the maps. | ||

However, this time there has been quite a lot of wins that feel undeserved: I feel Clide and JSL for example are at least as strong as Rain, who is in the finals. Maybe even players like TOP, Ensnare and Loner who didn't even qualify. I'm fine with upsets, but I feel too many players have gone much further than they deserved, and too many players that should have didn't qualify or lost in early rounds. Likewise, many players who don't seem to want to face each other have met (Fruitdealer vs HongUn), and unenjoyable-to-watch 2-racks play has been so strong that it seems foolish not to exploit it (and many players have). I guess S2 has had the best balance between high level play, bracket luck and entertaining games. I really wish S3 would have been at least slightly better in regards of those two later points, otherwise it would have been a clear choice. | ||

GSL2 was kinda meh, Didn't see any outstanding games. The finals however showed some excellent defense by Nestea. GSL3 had some ups and downs. All the 2 rax is sooo boring to watch. Clide vs Leenock was very good, Jinro ofcourse and oGsMC. Was really surprised by FD's play, he played absolutely awful. I voted for GSL1, just because of Fruitdealer. | ||

Season two definitely had the most solid play overall, but the finals were so boring because Nestea vs Foxer was 100% predictable (although Nestea took a while to wake up during the first 2 games). Season 1.... fruitdealer made me want to cry with the storyline and the inventiveness of his gameplay, not to mention the razor's edge that every game seemed to hang on. Just remember that he was my hero zerg from the round of 16 onward after he had.... FIFTEEN ULTRALISKS! I stayed up for every game of his and watched the finals (minor disappointment in Rainbow), but the huge macro games of Terran vs Fruitdealer were worlds beyond everything but the Clive Leenock game of Season 3. So Season 1, I think I'll go watch FD take the round of 16 again. | ||
