7 tanks is a critical number. Not over.

 

[alba]

What a great game, leenock burrow is so crucial

 

[Keikaku]

Sick Fungals and sick drop ferrys to avoid the landmines.

These games!

 

[Majine]

Fungalomania

 

[Paches]

Hngggg

 

[slidewinder]

Nuts.

 

[Yobalt]

This game is so awesome! Best final so far easily!

 

[Q8D3vil]

shame jjakgi, you would have won it ezpz if it wasn't for the maps

great games though

 

[Hazaro]

So many things that SC II was missing are being played out here. Maybe there is some hope for this game yet.

 

[jersoc]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH my god!!

leenock, you baller. these games are amazing. GSL curse broke

 

[V_Arnold]

Hell yeah!

Oh Hazaro, do not give SCII THAT much credit
Maybe it can be one tenth of BW, someday, right?

 

[scottnak]

All tied uppppp

 

[Mairu]

That was an incredibly exciting game

I hope Jjakji doesn't lose hope and can adapt to what's going on. It'd be great to have a full seven awesome games

 

[Corran Horn]

So smart play from both players.

Best finals

 

[Sumidor]

Damn, his Baneling burrows are sooooo good.

 

[MrKnives]

Can't watch and it probably is but can someone confirm me that these are casted by Tastosis?
Actually good GSL Finals casted by Tastosis would be sweet

 

[Veins]

Pretty pretty pretty good.

 

[Hazaro]

In OP, yes. Set aside a good chunk of time for the best games of SC II yet.

No shit Sherlock.

Awesome finals and the best that I can remember. Go go GSL!

 

[Max]

This is just wild.

 

[Omotesando]

Terran doing what a terran has to do and then some. Zerg playing the best zerg in SC2 history.

 

[V_Arnold]

I am inspired by all these baneling mines. Gotta practice burrowing banes on the move

 

[Tashi]

I'm not sure about that. You should watch my ladder matches.

 

[(._.)]

I don't think i have ever seen bane mines used so effectively in a tournament.

 

[TheThunder]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

Missed game 4 because my ISP decided to shit themselves...

 

[Hazaro]

Explain to me why only now we are seeing people play this damn game right.
Let's just make all matches have longer prep time so we can have solid prepared builds and gameplans.

 

[Corran Horn]

Moon am cry.

xD.

 

[fallagin]

These games are so awesome. I might have a heart attack if they keep being so awesome.

What is there to explain? People are pushing their limits, and in turn inspire/train their opponents to do it aswell. A lot of subtle improvements were seen in these games. The baneling mines. The Zerg setting aside chunks of 6-7 zerglings and a baneling to defend from drops. Terran manually shooting banelings without scout (or trying to do so).

All of these things will become mechanical and more practiced in the next few months. Then new things will be needed. Improved muta harass (A LOT more improved, constantly circling around and attacking even if they are hit by turrets, for example), improved drop micro and different drop compositions (would love to see a drop composition that can actually make a bigger threat than 8 marine ), etc.

These thing do not come out in one year. They build up.

 

[K.Sabot]

someone sound the lunk alarm

 

[MrKnives]

I can just imagine Mr.Che fistpumping in the backroom

 

[Madrical]

These games are insane. These kids are awesome.

Because it takes time for people to get good at the game. It takes time to discover how to best use units, develop muscle memory for more basic actions and learn how to read and react to your opponents actions.

Why did we not see awesome macro play out of Brood War in the first year? Why did Boxer not play like Flash from the get-go? I'm waiting for some silly favoritism to shine through in your response.

It's a stupid stance to take and you know it.

 

[Paches]

Get on...NeoGAF?

 

[Dooraven]

One thing that Tastosis missed was that Jjakji was trying to land his buildings everywhere to spot the landmines (you can't land on burrowed units). Such smart play.

 

[Vaporak]

Excellent games so far, but I gotta head to bed. Hopefully the rest of these games will be as good when I watch them later.

The game's just maturing in general. It's not that old, after all.

Except Haz is the only BW elitist that is cool

 

[questionmark]

Yup, I still hate Dual Sight.

 

[Keikaku]

[Paches]

Baneling dump

 

[Corran Horn]

Gg!

 

[Aaron]

Sudden poor control by Leenock cost him the game.

 

[slidewinder]

Yeah, Leenock just blew that.

 

[jersoc]

come one leenock, pull an mvp here.
