This is sadness. Well, we're quite used to seeing ACE losing by such a narrow margin it'd have to be razor-sharped, but those three losses were so close at times...it'll be painful if they don't make it. Really.

In general it's a bad way of thinking when you say you've spotted a gaping flaw in a progamer's decision making and can't find any way to explain it. Instead, try to brainstorm. GoRush lost his nat hatch to zerglings while winning an air battle. If he had split his mutalisks then, he wouldn't have had enough in either group to kill the zerglings and counter Zero's base.

When people wake up and check the results, they will be like "oh, this is exactly what we expected from ACE" and go on with their daily lives.
Sadly, they won't know how close, how ridiculously close that ACE was to sweeping this entire thing 4-0 or 4-1.
Yes, ACE aren't only Starcraft's history (museum? Na, ain't no mothballs yet), they're also history's forgotten heroes, sacrificed on the victors' altar. But thou shalt not be forgotten, ACE! Fighting~
