Any kind of competition with high quality play and high stakes (like a 'World Champion' title) can be great to watch, if it's presented well. Basketball, Baseball, Football, Soccer, Golf, Pinball - whatever; And this competition was a thrilling ride for anybody that enjoys that sort of thing.
Why people who don't like something a topic is based on insist on posting, I'll never understand. Nobody asked you; man. I'm not going to drive to every pho shop in town, walk in and let them know I don't like pho. I just don't go there.
