After a dramatic semifinal, we now had an amazing final where two distinctly different players would show off against each other. Ukrainian Grand Pa Toss White-Ra vs Chilean Cheese Master DinOt.
While slightly late coverage of this final, it's still very much worthy of a news post. Why? Firstly, because it's one of the first non-Idra or Ret finals in a long time! This time we have White-Ra vs DinOt instead. Both extremely strong players, but from two completely different worlds of StarCraft. Two different continenents, an age difference of close to twelve years and two extremely different ways of approaching the game. White-Ra being known for his strength and solid play, DinOt being known for agression, cheese and keeping his opponent off guard.
And did we get cheese in these games? Oh yes! And did we get solid straight up games? Oh yes! We even saw the good old Lost Temple come in to play, something we, who I assume now have to consider ourselves veterans in the community, knows every ins and out on and you new guys probably can't even fathom how big this map once was.
But you are all waiting for the results of course and nothing else!

Comments:
The series end, quite fittingly, on old school Lost Temple. White-Ra shows that DinOt did simply not know as much as he did, did not have the same experience.
White-Ra goes away $1000 richer. That is qute a lot of money.
