Everything went full circle... The reason T1 remained number 1 in the team rankings could be attributed to the SKT Zergs stepping up when they needed them to, however, they lost the finals because their Zergs couldn't pull out a win today. Interesting. | ||

The second involved longtime nemesis Jeff Bagwell. Maddux was pitching a shutout with a large lead late in a game early in the season when Bagwell came to bat. He repeatedly shook off catcher Eddie Perez's signs and threw Bagwell an inside fastball which they both knew was his favorite pitch. Bagwell clocked it for a home run and angry Perez confronted Maddux in the clubhouse asking him why he would throw that pitch. Maddux explained that sometime later that season he would face Bagwell in a more important situation and he would be expecting that pitch. Perez was still annoyed that he had "blown" a shutout. Towards the end of that season, the Braves did indeed play an important game against the Astros and Maddux struck Bagwell out late in the game with the bases loaded. Maddux asked Perez if he remembered the game months ago when he deliberately gave Bagwell the pitch he wanted. Perez had forgotten, but Maddux hadn't. http://www.bleedcubbieblue.com/2007/2/1/92435/72323 | ||

There was one part where he unsieged and best moved in and he sieged ALL of his tanks at once. Such a fucking beast he is. Only 6 clicks, really, since I assume Flash had all of them hotkeyed. For somebody with 350 APM, it's easy as hell. It may look cool, but that's not really what was impressive about that game, imao. What was impressive is that Flash has clearly studied his past few losses against Best, concluded that he needed to take some fairly extensive macro risks in order to beat him and he did just that. Best, being the lousy player he is, didn't do anything risky, just macro'd up and found himself outmacro'd, outpositioned and outmicro'd. If Best had done a 3 base all-in or something, Flash would have been in trouble. But Best never does that and Flash knows it. Bisu would have probably fared better but Flash was clearly on point today and I don't think he would have lost to anybody. Well, maybe Jaedong but I'm biased. At least JD isn't afraid to do 7 pools or 2 base all-ins unlike Mr. 6base 30gate macro. tl;dr: Best lost because he doesn't take (enough) risks and Flash played godlike StarCraft. | ||

It would have been different if SKT hadnt sent Fanta first but one SKT zerg and save Fanta for Fortress or EoTS, just my opinion. p/s: sorry for my bad english :p | ||

SKT are 2-0ing bút they used Fantasy and Bisu, against..uhm..well Perfective and Crazy-Hydra. in my opinion, if SKT wants to win, Bisu or Fanta must be able to take out Stats or Hoejja. The turning point is when Hoejja beats Soo. SKT has Sun, S2, and Best left, while KT still has Flash, Stats, and this is enough for the Ace. It would have been different if SKT hadnt sent Fanta first but one SKT zerg and save Fanta for Fortress or EoTS, just my opinion. p/s: sorry for my bad english :p but consider it the other way around, Stats is known to snipe bisu, and you dont want fantasy up against flash. Perfective is not an auto loss and neither is crazy-hydra (remember he comes from stars and has trained zvz with zero and soulkey), if you send skt zergs into a coinflip match against the 4 KT zergs, you'll end up more likely to lose before ace since its not a guarantee that you can beat flash and stats with bisu and fantasy. | ||

On the flip side -- Stats brought his A-game when it mattered most. | ||

They didn't have to pay a single cent for their seat and they couldn't even stay till the end to show respect to the players and staff who worked hard to get this finals going. | ||

To be fair Best was playing much better last year than this year. In contrast Bisu was pretty ordinary last season but in PL he's been almost untouchable this season. | ||

 I just think it's a shame they didn't send out Bisu for the ace. Other than that, a perfect day of SC. Flash hwaiting! KT hwaiting! VIOLET HWAITING! | ||
