I’d be happy with a 3-2 outcome regardless of who comes out on top | ||

Are there some tournies that they don't take seriously? Like the last 'Ultimate Battle' which are considered show matches, but Best seemed to have the upper hand vs Z's in that. Just curious and any info is very appreciated Ultimate Battle is indeed like a show match. ASL is the only premier BW tourney at the moment. KSL was the only other recent one during it's four season run. Liquipedia Brood War is a good information resource. | ||

There's a few sponsored matches, which with money on the line rather obviously are taken seriously by the individual players competing for the money.I am pretty new to watching some of the BW tournies.

I can't seem to find the same information on any official afreeca pages (afreeca.tv / twitter). We generally use namu.wiki, or at least I do. | ||

Can’t really blame the author for the ZvZ prediction. Even the best prediction he said was optimistic even with a 3-2 score. Seeing Best go down 0-3 was depressing. But I’m so hype for the possibility of Queen vs random Flash in the finals though Also I think it’s worth saying what others have pointed out that Soulkey and especially Best looked amazing in recent show matches. It’s a shame it didn’t show in ASL though | ||

Best was #2 on sponbbang at the time of writing with the highest PvZ rate. Artosis mentioned it in the cast that he has the second highest win rate vs Z in ASL after Bisu too. | ||

This thread has nearly 5k views. The LR thread for Ro8 day 1 has 26,000 views. The view count for the English VOD on YouTube is 100k. Less people definitely post on the site then before, but BW viewership is strong right now. | ||

also looking at my LB rank, my credibility is still very much intact, so I'll say it again, it happens. | ||

I love the fact that for all the ups and downs, so many people are still enjoying themselves watching premier tourneys. Doesn't get much better than that. I'm probably the def of a lurker (new account but my old one only had 100+ posts anyway) but it did use to be fun just reading pages and pages of LR. Alas, times have changed, but today is still good. | ||

It specifically states Zero is very likely to take sets 1 and 3 and that both players might want to use funny builds on the maps they are not statistically favored on. Best's gambit on Polypoid failed and Zero's worked on Plasma. Nobody would argue that Best would take the series after losing on Plasma. If people here predicted the builds players would come up with on specific maps and players themselves allowed to be surprised by them... Well, let's just say it would be really weird. | ||
