if you had to pick one series to watch, or maybe one series to show a friend who isnt into the game, what would you pick?
damage numbers add a lot to viewing experience imo, so my pick would probably be the i63 GF or i65 UBF. some of the recent cups had some great series too but online kinda devalues it for me (even though imo the production quality has been top tier online and i love the pheonix red huds). the s31 7 vs ascent final was great too if i remember, very exciting at the time.
going to older times, some top picks imo are:
-i58 GF
-i55 LBF (and GF ig, maybe UBF too? not sure if ive seen that one in full tbh)
-i52 LBF (and LBSF)
-i49 LBSF is of course a classic
as a little bonus, going to other games, i thought the astralis vs mousesports final and the astralis vs navi finals last year were super exciting. damwon vs suning was great too. the last rapha vs raisy final in quake was also awesome, and the 2016 rapha vs evil quakecon final is a banger.
