what where your thoughts on season 3 of gsl?
 
being a protoss player, i was very glad to see one win it all even though i was cheering for jinro the entire season
 
the final was a bit disappointing imo seemed like rain tried some kind of one base build, it would fail and mc would steamroll him after that a few too many times for my liking
 my favorite match in the whole thing was the obvious choice with clide vs leenock ro64, how about you?
 i would rate it as my favorite GSL to date - with a very close season 2 right behind it and season 1 isnt even on the radar imo

Rain cheesed his way to the finals and isn't in the same class as MC. That said, I really enjoy watching players consistently crush all-ins like that with standard play, just not in the finals of a starleague.

I about stayed up for it, but at 1:30 I still had an hour and a half to wait.  I was pretty tired and went to bad.

Rain got what he deserved, absolute raping at the hand of someone who is good and deserves to be there. 
 
 
Fuck that guy.

i kinda wish ro4 would have had different match ups, i definitely think jinro deserved second with mc at first, though i have a biased love for jinro, so does anyone else agree with this assessment?

" I'm just happy for MC, he really deserved it. He isn't just confident but has the skills to back up everything he says. I thought it was funny when he said that if he played Terran he would have won season 1 and 2 as well lol. "

Are you kidding me? MC shows a huge aura of confidence around him. 

That's pretty much what I was saying.. I said he isn't JUST confident, but also skilled. "

I can't speak for the whole season since I only watched the finals (same with season 2) but I think there's too much cheesing going on from all three races. I understand that players are going to do what it takes to win, especially  when there is $85,000 on the line but it just isn't fun to watch from a spectators point of view.
 
Perhaps I'll buy next season and try to catch some more interesting games. So far, my favorite games to watch come from mlg, dreamhack, ect.

Rain gets way too much hate for my liking. When MC did cheese plays, people praised him for it. Though I suppose it isn't that surprising to cheese a cheeser. In the end I don't really care, I like MC winning the thing and would like to congratulate him. On the same note, I am pleased that Rain put up a decent game when we all thought MC would totally just steamroll over him.  People are just butthurt that he knocked out NesTea. They call him a noob. Then what the hell does that make Jinro? "

"  @Meteora: Theres a difference between doing cheese once (like the porxy gate) and doing it every game you win (Like rain.) "

doing cheese every once in a while is a very important part of the game.  It keeps your opponent guessing and unsure of what he can really expect in the following games.  Even if you lose with the cheese, your opponent won't know how safe he has too play... on the other hand, if you cheese almost all of your games, your opponent can just play safe and tech/expand slowly and scout a lot and counter whatever cheese he sees coming his way then steamroll his opponent in the midgame with his superior economy and tech 
 
i seriously don't understand how people can compare someone who cheeses once in a Bo7 with someone who cheeses almost every game in a Bo7  ps. i pretty much hate watching zerg and i was glad there were no zerg in top 4, so i'm gonna say i wasn't "butthurt" "

I was a bit disappointed that Fruitdealer didn't get past RO8, as I would have loved to see him play NesTea, and also, looking forward to see more awesomeness out of Leenock. \,,/,

im actually watching the backlog of season 1 that i missed out of boredom (winter break) and its kind of crazy how good the players have become...  Nestea truly looked horrible in his match

All of the finals were disappointing IMO, but there have been good matches in every tournament. Leenock's played some good games, I liked Fruitdealer vs Top (I think) season 1, Nestea is amazing to watch, MC is a beast, etc.
