Interlude: Commentary

Brilliant

“Welcome everyone to the 2012 Season Three GSL finals! I’m Tasteless and I’m here with Artosis, and tonight we’re going to be bringing you coverage of the BEST. ESPORT. EVER.”

“Tonight we’re coming to you live from Haeundae Beach in Busan and I am unbelievably hyped for this final. Tonight’s matchup will be a TvP, which, for the record, is the best matchup. And that’s not even taking into account the players. MC needs no introduction. He’s a mechanical monster like no other. His macro is on point. He’s gunning for his third title and he looks to be unstoppable.”

“On the other side of the bracket we have Tae. She doesn’t have the some pedigree of results that MC has but she completely stomped some real strong players to get her. 3-1 against Byun, she also wrecked DRG in the semifinals as well. But she doesn’t have the same stage experience – she went out in the round of eight two seasons ago.”

“That’s the thing Tasteless, some players thrive under that pressure. They get up there and play some of the best Starcraft of their life. And some of them just crack, because they can’t handle it. And let me be clear, that’s not the fault of any of the players, because they’re competing at the highest level of the hardest multiplayer video game.”

“I really hope she can show up tonight because both of these players, when they’re on form, playing at their best, they can show us some absolutely amazing control and macro gameplay. I’ll have to more to say on them later, but for now we’ll take a look at their stats…”

Chapter 7: This is good and light

Chapter 7: I’m not a gamer so it took me some time to really get into Taeyeon’s part of the story but, I can empathize with the feeling of utter hopelessness that can plague a person who has given it her all and thinks that its not enough. I can also feel the relief and elation brought about by winning against all odds. Mostly, I appreciate the shot in the arm and renewed strength that one gets when her loved one believes in her. This TaeNy story is simple but it brings to the fore, a lot of life lessons.

Short and to the point. You write really well and I enjoyed feeling the emotions you made in this AU. Hoping to see more Taeny from you (and maybe some for sure endgame couple moments?)!
