It was an well deserved win for SKT1. Bisu and Fantasy delivered while Stats and Flash didnt... even though the Ace match was an cheese fest from Bisu ( but he did great with unbelevable multitasking O_O ) and a map that is a terran graveyard.

I was really impressed with the KT zerg line in the playoffs. They were amazing especially Hoejja turning into a beast.

People we also have an O S L coming, if BW is dying like this im ok for it to be dying for next 10 years.

Skela, Bisu took Flash to multitasking school. He mannered him 3, 4 times? I know terran is at disatvantatge in those situations as marines suck still i havent seen Flash getting schooled in multitasking that hard.

I spend the whole day and now the whole evening watching final and reading this thread, even i was under pressure, because there was things for me to do and there was people saying to me "come on come on"(they know nothing about greatness of Brood War) i managed to enjoy this final on a great level and the spent time was absolutely worth it, i guess this is my first day spent on BW event :D

People need to stop talking about Brood War dying, if u are out of mind its ok, but when u see that art u can only tell that its EVOLVING and there is yet to evolve till we can talk about end, so with such unbelievable amazing games every fan should feel strong and have faith in the best game of the world!

Lastly i want to thank to all the people created that game, players and community from across the globe for making me feel in such way like today, i love u all, have faith and share love!

Didn't bother watching but it sucks that KT didn't get the three-peat. Oh well, at least Flash will win the OSL

Mainly I just feel terrible for Flash ... it would have been great if he'd won the last MSL, the last OSL, and three-peat for Proleague

*open the lineup, sees Bisu vs Flash ace match*
"Ok, KT must have won 4-3"
*open the results*
"Bisu beat flash, hmm that's can't be right"
*look at the comment, and realized.....*

"HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I guess in a way Bisu redeemed himself for his OSL "run"

:D

Yeah, but his BO was pretty standard. He should have punished a greedy Zerg, sure. But at the same time, he had to worry about Hydra busts and Lurkers clearing the temples and going up the ramp. Overall, it seemed to me like he was very far behind just by playing standard.

Best did quite a few things wrong. He never did anything with his corsairs. Why did he even make more than one and upgrade air attack if he wasn't going to use them at all after scouting? He got zealot legs way too late. I noticed his legs speed wasn't done when Hoejja already had lurkers going to work on the temple to his 3rd. His 2 dts combined for a total of 2 drone kills. He even had one dt sitting at the 7 o'clock natural after Hoejja expanded to the 7 main. Had he sent it in to scout he would have gotten the info plus some free kills. Overall, Best just played as passively as possible and was basically just waiting to die to a fully teched 5-gas zerg. He should know better. He played much more aggressively the whole season. Dunno why he was so timid this game.

Funny thing that Flash in pre-game interview said "there is no player in a SKT T1 who can beat me". And then failed hardly.
Message for him and for a KT-fans who always says "and Bisu will fail again" (or post a bucket):
Suck on your own BM. Be nice.

Even though KT and Flash lost, I'm not that upset. First of all if this is to be the last purely BW proleague finals, then Flash vs Bisu was the proper way for it to end, shit map or not. Yes I would I still be happy if Stats had been sent out and won for KT, but there was a lot more at stake here than just KT vs SKT. By sending Flash out, Coach Lee showed that, when everything was on the line, he believed as we BW fans believe that skill would prevail over balance. The result was undesirable, but KT went down with their pride intact. Massive, massive props to the KT zergs. In a season that has mostly been a graveyard for zergs Action, Hoejja and CH straight up beasted in the playoffs and culminated with going 3-0 in the finals. Flash vs Fantasy was my favorite game of the year and proves once again that in the hands of master players, TvT is BW at its best. I know what rematch I want for the OSL finals. Gg wp SKT, enjoy it while it lasts.
