But yeah I mean, he personified the best of the simple "macro Protoss" into zeal-goon-arb PvT stomp. You think Jangbi was good? You think Stork was good? Strip them of their 4-8 templars + shuttle and they would get completely rolled by most of the decent TvPers. Not Best. His zealot/goon engagements were so.....asdfjkl; | ||

Obviously this style of play wasn't the best versus every Terran, and as time went on this type of play became way too safe, it was the ultimate learning replay and I still have fond memories of it. | ||

Somehow I had an image of Best as a boring player even though I enjoyed most of his games, it's bizarre. Methodical macro play is seen as boring because it's predictable, same can be said for flash's play. | ||

Perfect spread of dragoons to slow the inevitable siege tank / vulture / mine push that would come and then just at the last moment, where you had no more good defending areas to retreat to, you push with flanks, drag mines with zealots, and drop zealots from a shuttle. Obviously this style of play wasn't the best versus every Terran, and as time went on this type of play became way too safe, it was the ultimate learning replay and I still have fond memories of it. Hey can we get an upload of this fabled replay?  | ||

Maybe because I like the PvT matchup more than the PvZ. I swear every Best/Bisu/Stork thread someone has to make me really jealous... You lucky dog. | ||

4 gate all in on Medusa, 17 kill reaver on Return of the King, in base 2 gate on Plasma... Despite losing game 1, Stork completely fried Best's brain there. | ||

His macro was fkn insane, I definitely remember that. I didn't even know he played Sc2 at all, but yea definitely an under-appreciated player. I think July really broke him mentally in their finals meeting and it stayed with him since. | ||
