Calm would have to get through that choke at the nat, his hydras would melt pretty fast.
that would assume that Best had zlots/cannons/templar to defend that choke, which he did not. He had 1 cannon and maybe 6 zlots. Calm coulda eliminated him right there by basekill

Best spammed cannons at his nat after his expo fell.
calm was prepared to play a long macro, late game style best just had a really nice last-ditch timing attack with good storms to somehow completely roll calm. i don't know why you consider standard 5 hatch ALL-IN.. think about those words..
no point in arguing if you don't agree otherwise i guess

Which is why Best wasn't too worried about defending his main and nat right?

My bad, i did not see that. srsly god macro by Best tho. He will definitely play at least 1 game vs terran for shot to advance, gotta like his chances.

it's the opposite, best definitely did not timing push, his third was up when he had 3-4 gateways lol.
calm just built a bunch of hydras to try to end the game because he saw best had a small army, he couldn't win the game and just was behind.
standard 5 hatch hydra involves muta and lurker support, and some lings if your opponent's army is goon heavy

by cheap gay 1a2a3a4a toss? :p
Seriously, best is the one Protoss i don't want to see win against anyone, never, ever... He's the epitome of boring and uninspired. He's the posterboy of what makes progaming boring sometimes.

He did. After Best was tossed around by every zerg player, Calm took him for himself thinking of an easy win.
But it backfired as Best just fucking CRUSHED Calm. Sexy fucking storms.
