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.
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 !
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.
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
@@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.
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)...
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!
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...
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.
Elazer stealing games with supercheesy or supergreedy plays and taking out Nerchio and Showtime. Well done from him but just destroyed foreigner chances.
I can’t believe this was almost five years ago. It seems like so much longer ago to me, I think because so many storylines in the SC2 world have played out since this.
@@TD-yx8yo yeah this was an amazing series, but maru vs dark was better imo, maybe u were referring to the horrible 2019 meta. but 2016 viewership is a joke compared to this year
You know, I'm always impressed with the skills of the announcers of these matches because to announce any sort of competitive sport, you not only have to have good vocal skills, but you must be truly knowledgeable about the sport. Their talent level is surprising given how small eGaming is compared to say, soccer or American football.
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.
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.
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.
Ok, so a Terran player is the world champ for the first time ever. Now in order to make history again, a future WCS grand finals needs to have no zerg at all or be a mirror match.
Watching in 2020. ByuN the last man capable of stopping zergs from winning Blizzcon. Now he qualifies for GSL S3 with dominating fashion. Once again, we need him to save SC2 from Zerg infestation!
well deserved win, love how real his emotions are TvZ is my fav matchup to watch, although it would have been pretty awesome if it was Zest vs Byun at the finals.
@@scarredable bruh, Innovation or Ty will overtake Maru Maru needs to step up his game Edit: Also, Byun never flopped in the World Championship Finals unlike Maru Edit2: Also the real King is Serral Edit3: But I predict the future foreign King will be Mana but someone go tell me if I'm wrong
@@lelouchvibritannia7809 well we're talking about a Terran king so Byun cause he won the grandslam GSL and WCS Serral is king now ofcourse in WCS idk in GSL maybe Maru So we need a GSL Maru Vs WCS Serral
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.
Has anyone else been rewatching this final a couple of times a year since it happened?

I teared up the moment I saw Geoff. R.I.P
Amazing series. I had to come watch it again.
just 6 likes, that's how much is missed that guy
Awwww.. seeing inControl is breaking my heart :/
T___T We never how much we loved him. He was so special for our scene.
@@ryanbyrne2561 Yeah no one can give you the type on energy on a broadcast that Geoff could give you.

2 Terrans out of 16 WCS Pros, and one made it to the end as the Grand Champion. Marvelous.
TEAMLESS BYUN! :O
1:19:10 Bravest little SCV. Go son, go.
His sacrifice turned the tide of war.
OZGlitch He was going to tear that Ultra a new one man, he just couldn't catch em...xD
@@BBaham DRILLING CLAWS
Byun's marines are all Raynors lol
HKMGSKH on Cocaine,...
DAVID NIGHTEN on LSD
watching this in July 2017 - it's terrifying remembering that tanks could transported in siege mode.
Jeff D They dealt tiny damage compare to now
tvt back then was oof... a battle of transported siege tanks
Watching in 2021 now

Absolutely awesome series, game 5 was insane
game 5 hands down the best game I have ever watched
Yeah...that game five was INSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANE
It reminds me of how brood war was playe
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 !
blah blah blah
This is the best commentary I've heard. Nice job Artosis and Tasteless.
true. Usually the commentators are annoying me, but here they were great.
I normally root for the Zerg, but ByuN is just so incredibly good. I've never seen micro like that from any other player.

what made me happy was the large crowd
You can never kill whats already dead, SC2 WILL DIE ON
Naive fool.
that lotr chills.
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.
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)...
Who came here after 2019 finals to watch this so-much-told-about amazing ZvT?
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!
Same ^^
Yep
I wish the seigh tank can be loaded to medivac again.
Rewatching after lowkos comment on his video
these announcers would do well in WWE.
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.
I think that's where they are coming from !
Kevokevo To be fair they are excellent announcers.
Kevokevo that's exactly what I thought lol. I started missing them when I watched WESG lol
absolutely amazing games. Byun is such a likable person. TvZ is an awesome match up, seems to produce the most highlights.
Finally a Terran winning the global finals! It's about time
1:14:46 Starcraft physics best physics
That zergling carcass went farther than most careers go
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...
No one else can impose such a non-stop attacking pressure on Dark. ByuN is the essence of Terran.
"Do I keep pushing forward or is it time to pull out?"
Sleepy Koala *Quoting

What an epic finale! Spoiler: the korean guy wins!
Elazer stealing games with supercheesy or supergreedy plays and taking out Nerchio and Showtime. Well done from him but just destroyed foreigner chances.
yeah, the one with the brown hair and the brown eyes wins.
Well yeah that's why the Chinese guy lost he's not korean enough lol
The best STARCRAFT 2 WCS GLOBAL FINALS ever.. I miss this year.
All the years of viewing StarCraft and supporter of Boxer and then MVP, then Innovation, never seen such control, never ever.
Man this is like a fricken time capsule of simpler days. I miss these x_x
So good to watch a Terran smash their way through like that he really is the one man army! Terran 4 lyf my dudes
Game 5 is so amazing, was on the edge of my seat the whole time.
I can’t believe this was almost five years ago. It seems like so much longer ago to me, I think because so many storylines in the SC2 world have played out since this.
Brilliant terran, game 5 best. Good job ByuN.
Very awesome game. Worked as one of the staff members there. Got to see everything close up :)
Game 4... I love StarCraft 2 for games like that... Just beautiful!
Amazing finale! So intense and fun to watch. Excellent work on both sides.
ByuN is such a passionate player. His games are so intense like fighting a real combat! Feels sad that he is going for military service soon.
That translator is just amazing at her job!
Game 5 was absolutely mind blowing, one of the best games i have ever seen in the history of SC2!
Byun has such a fun personality. In a game where most players tend towards super-serial, it's always fun to see interviews with him.
Game1@12:25
you're a champ
ray Da real MVP
As much as I love other caster duos, Tastosis is just iconic
The screaming from the broadcaster is real!!
GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
nicky bond Too much cocaine
Vault Dweller
nicky bond haha
nah it's so fake and forced. Not really fun to listen to every time a worker dies.
Rewatching this in quarantine 2020... this was the peak of Starcraft 2
Not even close when we compare it to now in terms of viewrship and playerbase
@@liersiron5444 True, but for the time this was top level. Maybe it's nostalgia that makes me miss it.
@@TD-yx8yo yeah this was an amazing series, but maru vs dark was better imo, maybe u were referring to the horrible 2019 meta. but 2016 viewership is a joke compared to this year
byun is the sole reason they nerfed reaper grenade
Came to this after PiG mentioned it in a Byun v Dark cast. This was AWESOME!
Also, sieged tanks in Medivacs are pretty OP.
That was a freaken insane match. the amount of control that they have is just mind blowing.... great match for the final...
Well deserved from the winner, his micro was so much better.
These two players epitomize the concepts of Macro play vs Micro play, respectively; they are just so good, that game 5 was phenomenal.
Great series! Byun really deserved to win! Incredible!
The best Zerg is not at BlizzCon. Life is in jail.
really?
Yee. Match-fixing scandal.
Life is in jail or not, Dark is way better than him.
idk man life is a scary scary guy
Sad story really..
Sad that this gets such a limited amount of views. Great play :)
This guy is a monster. Jesus.
2022 and still one of the best series
wow, first time see a reaper power build from ByuN
11:44 the right bottom corner sign said if byun wins he will eat poo. does he follow through?

The age of terrans has returned!
Farjad Zaman Sadly not with the current meta, Terran beside Ty and Byun is getting trash on late game

sorry but why are people leaving at the end, there were like 10 minutes, give the person some respect :(
traffic. lol
Byun's micro has brought reaper squad to a new level.
such a insane control, rewatching these games feels so good even tho I know how its gonna end
(december 2020 here btw)
Thank you YT for the great VOD Λ___Λ
Seeing Byun win with those reapers is so satisfying..
Ok, so a Terran player is the world champ for the first time ever.
Now in order to make history again, a future WCS grand finals needs to have no zerg at all or be a mirror match.
well, they had to jail Life to get a terran winner
if they jail Dark Nerchio Solar and Rogue too you might get your no-zerg final
what about Protoss?
Protoss has won twice dude
VikeTV when? I always see protoss losing
2012, 2013, 2015 its actually 3 times :)
What a great series.
One of the best and most intense series ever
I absolutely love how the commentators and analysts are my age and they still love gaming
that target fire on banelings is absolutely INSANE
Great final! Both players are awesome, it was back and forth. And the saga of an "outsider" continues on :D
I was there live. My first time at Blizzcon.
That interviewer chick is doing a great job! Interviewing and translating on the fly like that, wow! Also looks good doing it.
Watching in 2020. ByuN the last man capable of stopping zergs from winning Blizzcon.
Now he qualifies for GSL S3 with dominating fashion. Once again, we need him to save SC2 from Zerg infestation!
ByuN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
King of Terran!
rest in peace... will miss this dude
what does it mean "reast in peace"?!
I've never played Starcraft, have no idea wtf is going on, but this looks awesome and I wanna play it.
TheMadPolarBear Do it! Best RTS ever made!
2018, watch it again. Still the best starcraft game so far
I've never played Starcraft don't know anything about it but this was cool
Im just a casual gamer but even to me Byun´s microcontrol is unheard of.
Great WCS event! They know how to put up a show for all viewers.
TY level multi-front attack and innovation level execution and micro, Byun really wp
0:05 An appropriate intro to such an awesome tournament
WOW! So Intense! best RTS game ever
korean won overwatch league of legends and starcraft XD
박서진 Yay! Koreans are so good playing, maybe you are...
Aliens xDDDDD
but not dota....
Edwin Sim No one cares about Dota though...
he says on a starcraft video
i think they won heroes of the storm too
ByuN microing that confetti off that trophy while being interviewed.
Byun's Reaper control is phenomenal!
game 5 is nail biting...wow
Straight-up nostalgia... I'm crying.
2022 checking in. Happy New Years
I love this series but i always come back to see Geoff. R.I.P.
Relentless Terran pressure last game.. I would have just given up
These casters are amazing.
Best game in SC2 so far. And the way the game is heading this is probably the zenith of this game...
well deserved win, love how real his emotions are
TvZ is my fav matchup to watch, although it would have been pretty awesome if it was Zest vs Byun at the finals.
picking up sieged tanks is so broken
StarCraft 2 is THE BEST RTS game ever! FullStop.
RIP InControl! You're a legend!
These last games, the joy, the music, cute korean girl on top !!! What a moment ! Can't wait for next year...
just coming back here to watch some byun games before he comes back in a few days
I can't believe how people can get so good at Starcraft 2. Impressive!
LOL. That's one gamer who actually shows emotion when he wins.
All hail the king of Terrans. Way to go Byun!
