are there a lot of new people here who don't know the history between best and flash? not that it's serious history, but there was a point, early in flash's dominance, in summer to fall 2008, when best was considered the top contender to flash for best player in the world, and actually beat him in the middle of a huge streak, i think several times. best is a macro player who specializes in pvt and can't really do anything else anymore. on the other hand, bisu is quite weak in pvt (see his msl series versus mind, his osl series versus iris, etc.).


bisu has had questionable PvT throughout all his carreer (even though he said he's doing fine in practice) and many say he still has, but he is just winning them left and right nowadays and his elo represents that.
this is not because bisu is soomehow not fit to play flash here and now, it's just that as you said best is flash antidote, the best there is next to jeadong...so yeah bring him out here

(formwise it's questionable though)

I'm okay with the decision from Coach Park.

You're in a tough spot either way against the likes of Flash, but it's been a while since Fanta has really pushed Flash, and Flash tends to find a way to win anyway. Bisu just doesn't seem to have an answer either (unless he was prepared with a strategic build).

If I'm Flash then I'm going for early aggression again. Hopefully Best has let that first game go and can find a way to turn it into a drawn out macrofest.

Well I'm not okay with the fact that nobody in the first 6 games brought in a special build. Basically KT dictated the strategies for each match.

i think the decision is sound, i wish hyuk was sent instead of best

Bisu definitely has some issues in PvT. It's easy to overlook because of his insane record in proleague even vs. T but Best is the one who beat Flash twice during this season.

Circuit breaker's statistics: PvT: 71-62 (53.4%)
Flash vs BeSt statistics : 5 wins - 6 losses (45.45%)
Flash vs Bisu statistics : Record: 14 wins - 9 losses (60.87%)
Flash vs Fantasy statistics : Record: 13 wins - 5 losses (72.22%)

Pretty much SKT1 best choice was... BeSt ;D
Enjoy the game

Oov Was so smart by talking smack about how good bisu was. This totally got KT off guard now.


I don't think so, they were going to send Best last proleague finals so its not out of the picture to send him this time round. All Flash knows is that he's going to play Bisu, Best, or Fantasy and chances are he's going to play a protoss.

From psychological view (though I'm not a specialist or something), Bisu would've been a better candidate than Best.


... why? bisu had to have told the coaches he was not confident, and best had to have said the contrary, otherwise park would not have ordered one of the two to go fight. best clearly has the best chance against flash in this situation, if you consider history to mean anything.

What was the theoretical best choice of player SKT could have made? Regarding practice time on this match, weaknesses/strenghts in the different matchups, etc


I would say Fanta. He does have a pretty nice mech managment, and his tvt is fairly good.

game 1: kt cheesed, fanta went bio (special for him)
game 2: bisu pvz, no need to be special
game 3: zvz
game 4: somewhat special dragoon-focused build
game 5: it's flash, come on
game 6: seemed like a somewhat map-specific 4hatch build light on hydras

I'm afraid that if best loses twice to flash in the finals he will retire
