Maybe sea sensed that Carriers are coming, because Best didn't have that much of a ground army. | ||

But in his defense, I think only Flash can stand against Best in straight up macro game. Unfortunately, it is not enough to become the finalist. | ||

A bit more than just bad luck. | ||

He didn't expect Sea to chase after him so he just kept them where he thought they were safe and that cost him the game. I think going Carriers was fine, he was so far ahead economically he could abuse it. Once he lost the critical mass of carriers he was just completely unable to do anything and Sea played aggressively and exploited it. And game 1 was nice, the vulture runby timing of Sea was beautiful. I feel like Best was on another level and ahead of Sea for the most part and as a huge Best fan it hurts like hell to see him go out like this. But at the same time, I really like Sea and I am happy for him. He exploited a mistake by Best very well in game 4 and went for balls cheese in game 5, fantastic series all around. And I get a bit annoyed with people who says cheese isn't fun, if you just play standard every game, what is the fun in that? Bests tech fake out in game 4 was amazing to see and the potential for cheese is what makes things exciting in the early game. | ||

Observer did catch the machine shop spining (goliath range upgrade) so probably at that moment Sea started building goliaths  | ||
