Just cannot believe that these series were already 6 yrs ago. Still one of the best finals.

Cant believe this comment was already two years ago. Still one of the best comments.

[@TwinAero]

2 Terrans out of 16 WCS Pros, and one made it to the end as the Grand Champion. Marvelous.

[@blueblue7851]

Being a Zerg fan I was cheering for Dark.... But I dont think a better person could have won. Seeing ByuN play so well. And even more, ByuN at the end, signing autographs and taking photos. Here he just won Blizzcon, and yet he still takes the time to be with the fans. He deserves this win.

game 5 hands down the best game I have ever watched

Yeah...that game five was INSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANE

[@Horatiification]

It reminds me of how brood war was playe

[@liuculiu8366]

agree! SC2 are developing into a higher level. It is already so much better than the time it was first released. brood war is definitely a masterpiece. I hope SC2 can get the same level, even higher !

[@BrutusFanboy12345]

A little of silly people complain about this... You'll get a twitch room of 15,000+ people complaining there's nobody in the audience.

[@irishprice]

Gota be honest... I thought the heyday of sc2 competitive play was vanilla and first expansion. After the 2nd expansion regular ladder play kinda died out a bit, for me ... last time I was a master player was on the first (zerg expo)...

[@shohokuslamdunk]

absolutely amazing games. Byun is such a likable person. TvZ is an awesome match up, seems to produce the most highlights.

[@gsuberland]

I normally root for the Zerg, but ByuN is just so incredibly good. I've never seen micro like that from any other player.

[@guillaumeduchamp989]

He reminds me of lilbow(but better ofc), only make cheesy/all ins strats and have such a good micro that he still wins or deal enough dmg to get ahead despite his strat. His micro is insane and impressive but tbh I prefer players like Dark who also have great multitask and macro skills, and can play every kind of strategies. I find players with various styles much more interesting to watch that someone having such a good micro that his bane focus make the fight imba, because game can't be balanced expecting people having such insane micro so banes are not supposed to get rekt like this. A totally deserved win by Byun, who won a gsl teamless, even if no real need of team strategic advices when you rely mostly on micro, but it's not the kind of games I like to watch. I also fear for him that a drastic change in playstyle due to updates just destroy his career (as lotv for lilbow), so gl to him in the future.

[@Harry-uq9qd]

There are players with arguably the same or better micro than ByuN over the history of SCBW and SC2, I didn't see anything extraordinary here for a top korean T

[@CpttCanada]

@@guillaumeduchamp989 Byun has some of the best macro ever as well no?

[@CpttCanada]

@@guillaumeduchamp989 His micro isn't imba, the zerg can be better with the positioning and strategy of his banelings. Attack from multiple directions and setup traps. Byun is simply better and comparing lilbow to Byun is extremely disrespectful. Especially considering that Lilbow plays Protoss.

[@Guynextdoor1993]

Finally a Terran winning the global finals! It's about time

[@MrDrinver]

Who came here after 2019 finals to watch this so-much-told-about amazing ZvT?

[@emielsproviewbot1423]

fifth game was the best game ever in my opinion. i'm a byun fanboy but that game was insane! Also look at the army supply in game 3. buyn is 20 down and still wins. insane play!

I don't follow the SC2 scene much, but I believe both of the casters used to play competitively and lived in S Korea. Definitely amazing casters!

Yah.. I googled cuz I forgot their handles: Artosis and Tasteless.

[@evanzeng9828]

No one else can impose such a non-stop attacking pressure on Dark. ByuN is the essence of Terran.

[@HyperOpticalSaint]

Game 4, we thought he is going hellbat, dark saw the armory thought he was going to go hellbat, the commentator kept talking about early armory and hellbat for like a min... Then ByuN goes like, lol you fools, I am just going to run in with hellions and kill 20+ drones...

[@GatsuKS]

Brilliant terran, game 5 best. Good job ByuN.

[@glados4765]

I come back to this because I love ByuN so much. The fact that hes not teamed and he is so good and humble just makes him a likeable person. On a side note, ByuN is so good that he forced blizzard to nerf reapers THREE times in one year because ByuN was doing things no one thought possible with them.

[@Jason2001.]

The best STARCRAFT 2 WCS GLOBAL FINALS ever.. I miss this year.

[@topfamous297]

All the years of viewing StarCraft and supporter of Boxer and then MVP, then Innovation, never seen such control, never ever.

[@RazorOfArtorias]

Amazing finale! So intense and fun to watch. Excellent work on both sides.

[@horbes]

What an epic finale! Spoiler: the korean guy wins!

[@guillaumeduchamp989]

Elazer stealing games with supercheesy or supergreedy plays and taking out Nerchio and Showtime. Well done from him but just destroyed foreigner chances.

Byun's micro has brought reaper squad to a new level.

[@alantanmiaothong635]

Came to this after PiG mentioned it in a Byun v Dark cast. This was AWESOME! Also, sieged tanks in Medivacs are pretty OP.

[@farjad1341]

The age of terrans has returned!

[@revolutionalist]

Farjad Zaman Sadly not with the current meta, Terran beside Ty and Byun is getting trash on late game

[@galatse1]

revolutionalist You forgot Maru

[@farjad1341]

Maru is my favorite terran. But he has been overshadowed by Byun and TY for sometime. Even Innovation is playing well now. Maru needs to perform better.

[@qichen85]

Terran has always been like that. There are always a few players that shines, but the rest really struggles. I think it comes down to the game design. Terran units are general incredibly fragile, high mobility and high damage units. This means you MUST have an extremely high apm and multitasking ability to succeed (well, you need them as protoss and zerg too, but to a lesser extent). This means only the most talented few can do it and rest struggles.

[@guillaumeduchamp989]

Zerg muta ling bane is at least as hard to play, super weak units, need to split against mines, need circle, and creepspread/injects un addtion of normal macro. Aldo if the terran is good enough you cant do anything. The problem is when terrans have rly good micro like Byun who basically reliés on his perfect micro, they just focus your banes and are able to retarget widow mines at the last moment, and if the terran does this the zerg can micro perfectly and will just get stomped (cf this blizzcon). Mech terran however is easier to play but can only make those insane focus with tanks and not whole army. Anyway you cant say terran "strugles", the game has become super hard and punishing for everyone, starcraft is basically a hard game, and harder with each extension.

[@romankai6157]

As much as I love other caster duos, Tastosis is just iconic

[@11u510n15t]

This guy is a monster. Jesus.

[@MrGeorgeFlorcus]

These two players epitomize the concepts of Macro play vs Micro play, respectively; they are just so good, that game 5 was phenomenal.
