Fully agree. Especially the fact that he won the finals vs a Protoss and even on of that caliber makes his victory so much better. I think if he won the tournament by only playing TvT and TvZ it would have left a sour taste in the mouth of many here, including me tbf. It might have been undeserved but I think realistically speaking it would have happened. So yeah, really happy for him and the way he won made it even better. | ||

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? | ||

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! | ||

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. | ||
