For sure the best series I have ever been a part of.  

was pretty crazy and intense, hands were tingly towards the end either from nerves or being in the same position for 30 straight minutes  

i just skimmed through the final. man, that was dead close.  

tilted that I can't figure out how I was hit at 21:13, David pointed this out to me and I've been confused ever since  

Your blink should have lasted longer.

Only thoughts would be that you stopped and started for some reason. You don't seem to go up or down. Unless you entered into a strafe and ended it right away causing you to drop blink. But it's hard to tell  

feel like a noob for asking this but i've never had a problem with it, does strafing keep the blink? that's broken.

Blink ends after changing direction, right? Your character was facing left immediately after getting hit, but you walked right  

It would be a sin to go over blinking again without pointing out Thallen's public documentation on the tech.  

"You release your last-held directional key from the moment when you entered the hurt"

Would that not have been the left arrow key? He couldn't have been facing left otherwise, and in order to walk right he would've had to release it

Or I'm missing something completely and blink is more complex than I thought

He was blinking through david's sword and died, the blink should have lasted longer.  

Yeah that hit really confused me when we were sparring. If you watch the video at 0.25 speed on youtube it looks like Thallen stops and runs in place for literally a split second making me initially think there was a strafe followed by movement that immediately canceled his blink but I don't think that was the case here.  

i don't play anymore but i watch the forums to update myself. Holy **** that was fun to watch.Highlight for me was 5:26, that combo that thallen had was wicked. People don't appreciate **** like that enough. just watch how he gets around him... its too bad everyday people who don't play graal don't understand. if they did maybe i would still be playing.

Specifically 5:37-5:40. goddamn  

I'm don't think I canceled in any way I know of, the only thing I could have done was briefly strafe in place and immediately stop strafing (doesn't feel natural and I don't think I'd ever randomly do that)

I think it's probably just a keyboard thing… I've had a BlackWidow for over 3 years now and my IJKL keys sometimes double-tap on a single press - I'm using some janky AutoHotkey script to prevent it from happening, so it could be either one of those causing it

It does up until the moment you stop strafing:
