Oh my.. they just won $75,000 and 2 of them didn't even crack a smile, damn

SNEEAKY LIKE SNAKE

The reactions could of been speechless but wow......., the crowd didn't even have energy. They were engaged in the action, but no real emotion....how sad =(.

Congratz to Nihilum.

Being there in person I was also a little surprised at the lack of enthusiasm or excitement as well. There was a large crowd that reacted good but it seemed as though the teams and the crew running the tournament lacked excitement about what they were doing there.

The casters did a decent job but I would have liked to have seen more excitement and buildup to the finals. The awards ceremony was even less enthusiastic and didnt include the other teams that placed. I believe it is all in how it was presented. There seemed to be more energy at the rts stage.

Probably due to the lack of hype surrounding WoW events, given that there's very little 'rivalry' or long standing teams fighting each other.

That and WoW players don't feel emotion.
