To bad the Loose Moose event has been cancelled, since it's directly across the street from 151 Front I had envisioned 800 intoxicated geeks zerging the internet hub of Canada to protest against latency spikes.

Tomorrow I'm going to make a GH sign for Polt to sign and give it away to someone who couldn't make it to the event.

I was going to ask him today, he's always really happy and cheery, but he did just lose a rough match. Like he disappeared immediately after losing for a couple of minutes and then just went to his hotel super early :(

Game 2&3 were for Soulkey, what the hell...

Indeed a disappointing finals, but Maru vs Dear was a great series and made up for it.
Title: Re: WCS World Finals in Toronto
Post by: keymaster on Sun, 27 October 2013, 23:39:45
I didn't think it was a disappointing finals. Perhaps it's because I'm glad a Protoss player was able to 4-0 one of the best Zerg players in the world. Dear is such a great strategist. I think he surprised a lot of people, even the casters, in many of the engagements where he came out on top. Dear has got a new fan.  :cool:

Very impressive and unexpected. Soulkey 2-0 Parting, 3-0 Rain in the GSL. 3-0 Oz and Trap on his way to the finals.

Was expecting Soulkey to win the series quite convincingly. Hope he does well at Blizzcon as well!

sifo, my friend and i saw your miami k/b but was too busy watching soulkey.

also, dear vs maru was a great matchup... was almost worried dear wouldn't be able to carry through with his pre-match trash talk, lol.
Title: Re: WCS World Finals in Toronto
Post by: TLSC.wipeOut on Mon, 28 October 2013, 11:42:37
Dear played amazingly well... no doubt about it, he definitely deserved to win that
