I do have a problem with semifinals being either full Protoss or 3 Protoss out of 4. 
That never happened on GSL though 
On other side of things, yesterday San & StarDust dominated their WCS Eu group, leaving us with something funny:
2013 WCS Europe Season 1, Top 8: 6 foreigners, 2 Koreans
2013 WCS Europe Season 2, Top 8: 5 foreigners, 3 Koreans
2013 WCS Europe Season 3, Top 8: 3 foreigners, 5 Koreans
2014 WCS Europe Season 1, Top 8: 3 foreigners, 5 Koreans
2014 WCS Europe Season 2, Top 8: 2 foreigners, 6 Koreans
I see a trend

15yo dutch Sjaak beat both HuK and HyuN in Group Stage #2  And HyuN beating HuK ofc
Now I'll keep laughing of those who still call HuK a top foreigner, heh. Not a single Premier Top 8 in ~2 years.

Come on, almost nobody calls Huk a top foreigner anymore, he is pretty much non-existent. Ok, maybe Day9.

I've seen calling him a top foreigner this very year, on reddit (yes, I know, reddit xD) and TL too.
Some nice groups at DH Summer Group Stage 3, too bad I'll miss the tournament studying

I'm forced to watch some SC2 in between my Dota2 games. Kinda... boring. Toodming vs Leenok or smth. I don't see the tournament potential of RTS. How large is the competitive scene of SC2?

The biggest RTS there is, and SC2 is actually amazing, just because you don't find it interesting doesn't mean that it can't succeed. And is actually doing pretty well, there is one huge tournament through the Year called WCS which has 3 seasons per year, where best of the best are playing, and a ton of small tournaments and team leagues between the seasons of that tournament.
You've watched one Zerg v Zerg game(and ZvZ is pretty bad match up to watch, it is boring for players that don't understand it), you can't make a conclusion based on that. You need to watch top 10 games rated by majority of people and if those games are also boring to you, then SC2 certainly isn't game for you. Also, you need to know SC2 better than basic level to be able to understand why Pros are doing what they are doing and why they are choosing certain strategies etc.

Take a look at this game, game starts around ~20. minute, top players, Maru is probably the strongest Terran player right now.
And watch until the end! Don't stop after 5 minutes because you think it is boring.

Also it's important to note players influence a lot on the game - there's such a difference between watching some low foreigners game than top Koreans, for example (koreans totally dominate the scene).
Mirrors matchups aren't as exciting as non-mirror matchups (except for high level TvT, that can be so much cosntant fun ). Try watching DreamHack today or tomorrow.

Eating Ice Cream and drinking Coca-cola while watching this, home alone, perfect sunday! ^^
EDIT: Very nice game by Snute, really like that he has multiple styles and is constantly doing different things, probably my favorite foreign player. Cracklings + Ultralisks, ah the good old BW days. ;D

I like Snute too, the only negative is that he is too safe sometimes. And so awesome to watch games on "source" quality, sweet Dreamhack <3

I can't, watching both DotA 2 and Starcraft 2 on High at the same time, my PC wouldn't handle Source.

Jesus, what a game by Snute, I loved it! Now, that is one of the best showcases how I love to see Swarm Hosts being used. Very aggressive, harassment everywhere, strange composition of Queens, Swarm Hosts, Infestors, Lings and Ultralisks, this was just amazing.
Yes, HerO played poorly I would say and this maybe wouldn't work against some other Protoss players but it was still beautifully executed by Snute, close to perfection.

TLO, SNUTE CRUSHING FIRST AND HERO! 
Also, this is what I watch between games:
Boxxer vs Elky WCG 2001 Finals
BTW. I watch pretty much all StarCraft streams at the same time plus the Street Fighter Stream and Speedrun Stream.

I catched most of that JD-Bunny game, holy snow it was a good moment to take a break from studying
Edit: yay, JD won in the end! 12/16 koreans on Ro16, only Golden failed to get a spot above the foreigners.
