I am surprised how weak new patch ravens are btw. They were the milestone of Maru's excellent hyper late game especially against Dark in those two matches. Classic is not the type of player who shall pull the game to 25 minutes. In the same time he likes to keep terrains into two bases and his aggression is a bit of "defensive" unlike Stats pure defensive phylosophy. I think that Maru shall try to controll the game from the very beginning. The reason of his ultra late game now made him a champion, because before he was the best proleague player, but his experience in 7 round matches was very small and he used lots of cheeses when he got his OSl trophy. Both of the are damn scary, it will be some epic semifinal. TY lost to Gumiho last year in this phase for a big surprise to all and that is how Gumi became later a champion. So anything is possible - the two most intelligent terrains and pro-s in a rematch, this is gonna be some really epic meeting too. Zest and Dear still remain in the shadows. | ||

Depends on what you consider the 2011 Super Tournament to be that occurred between the seasons that Nestea won. Polt is generally regarded as a GSL champ so I don't believe Nestea is considered a back-to-back champ. Personally, even though I really want to, I don't consider Nestea a back-to-back champ. The 2011 Super Tournament was vastly different from the ones of today and was just as rigorous as a regular season. Not to mention the early GSLs underwent so many format changes that it may as well count as a season. | ||

There is also Zest and INno who won GSL organised tournaments + a GSL season at the same time, but those tournaments were not GSL season nor a tournament like the one Polt won. | ||

Poor lad has had himself knocked out by former team mates and zergs in most every GSL since he was the champion (beating zerg team mate soO in the final). I am not rooting for him either. Gogo first repeat champion! I'm still rooting for Classic and Dear. But every time I have hope/faith in Classic, he gets stomped (usually by a SKT Zerg like Dark/SoO). Hoping this time around he may finally get through to the finals and maybe even win it all. | ||
