On Habitation Station he was playing from pretty far behind though after that opening.

inno won, so i cant wait for the next TL article to spin this as not that big of a deal.
oh right, probably because we live in the "lowest skill era of starcraft yet"

That would be way back when MVP, Nestea and MC were considered good players XD

Is the elephant in the room thing again?
It was a different time with a different meta-game

absolutely true. we defintely have the highest skilled era right now and it is quite obvious that that is completly accurate

Well that was anticlimactic

At least it wasn't as bad as Nestea vs Inca
|
Was anyone else half-hoping he'd kiss the "trophy"?

Ah, true. It's much harder to defend against the multi-prong drops if you are not even with your opponent. Still, his base set up wasn't that great.
I know it is a different matchup, but for instance, I noticed that Neeb lost a couple times to drop overlord, and from then, he almost always has a pylon ready near the drop over lord's path.

I generally appreciate the shorter games, cuz i don't have time to spend 5 hours playing less than 10 games anymore. But for grand finals bo7, I do kinda miss the multi hour viewing finals from early SC2 days. A bo7 being done in less than 40 minutes is super anti climactic, especially considering how drawn out Gyeonggi was to begin with (one bo5 semi final per day). Even a 4-0 in WoL would've taken somewhere between an hour or two depending on how close the games were.
By the time I was in the mood it was already over
|
Of my that was terrible. However it was kinda expected after the great semifinals. Korea upholds the tradition of terrible finals, sc2 is still alive!!!
One think that really irritated me was the observing and commentary in game 3. Nobody blinked an eye about Stats leaving after killing 20 SCVs and almost all of the army? He got fucking dropped and lost his whole economy, that's why the game ended ...
|
well, that wasn't very exciting but gratz Inno
|
so that was a quick final ?
|
Not even 10 pages for a Bo7 finals of the most stacked tournament for months? I guess once the timing is terrible for EU, nobody really cares ... catering to NA schedule is a big mistake!

Nobody catered to NA, this is simply how a weekend tournament with a lot of games per day works when it is hosted in korea. You cannot start at late korean hours like you can when doing GSL

It still did fairly well in terms of viewers considering the time I think.

Wait what the hell happened in the games..?
edit: reminder that my shitposting blog got more traffic than this. I think we need to get English teachers in KR to encourage their students to start posting on TL. It's the only way!
