Great writeup. Glad that Light finally won something and against Rain of all people. His TvP has always held him back imo so to go 4-2 was fantastic. His game on Eddy was just beautiful and overall, he was really solid. I hope this motivates him to try harder next ASL so that a new ASL Terran champion can be born! :D

Yes I think that fact that it was against Rain, probably the strongest Protoss since Bisu in his prime, makes Light’s achievement absolutely unquestionable. Very happy for Light, the first Terran not named FlaSh or Last to win a prestigious tournament since forever. I hope he continues to improve and maybe expand his build repertoire.

As an aside, who was the last Terran before light, flash, and last to win a big tournament?

Thanks for the report!

Have to say, I disagree calling ForGG, Hyuk, Zero and Mind easy opponents.

I watched pretty much only from Ro8 onwards and liked the games a lot!

Huge grats to light! I didn't anticipate this outcome, but he really played great!

if it weren't for killer and bisu, terran would have a reign of terror in the sospa days, literally all of them were kicking ass.

Thanks for the write-up. It was a fun tournament, even though it was so rushed. Really happy for Light. Hope the KSL can continue next year and make some changes so that it is as competitive and well-watched as the ASL.

Great writeup. Wanted to say I'm super happy for Light. Didn't feel quite as dominant as that one period he had in Proleague but still impressive to take it against all odds vs Rain here. Awesome to see the guy finally take one home.

No mention of the bugged replay moment? First time I'd seen that happen ever

Great finals and writeup thank you TL for again delivering such a treat! Light had truly great moments in this tournament, like the game against Mind in neo sylphid.
it's not just a music it's something else

It was mentioned, though.

Enjoyed the write-up, but it could've been quite a bit harsher on Rain and his disappointing PvT. I guess my anti-fandom isn't really a good reason to go and make the write-up less hype, but his strategy of "bash army into entrenched position, use recall in random positions at random times, and hope my good macro compensates for this" really needs more calling out.
