People here really aint fair towards Sea, I think he played great. There is more to game 4 than Best screwing up. If Sea doesnt realize it and capitalizes on Bests mistakes the game would still go to Best. But Sea was very quick in that game. No indecisiveness, no confusion, just straight forward good decision making.
Best sacrificed almost all of his ground units without killing many units of Sea and Sea abused that and went straight for the natural. At this point Best couldnt even rebuild the ground army because Sea was already at the gates of the main. Best didnt have enough gateways on the other side of the map yet.
People here are trying to make it sound like anybody could have won that game 4.

People are really under estimating Sea, he was a total beast in proleague and towards the end he was quickly becoming one of the best terrans on the scene. There are players that made the decision to focus on PL at the expense of individual leagues and people often overlook them. It was a long time ago but remember that the individual league stars often slumped in PL when they had to sacrifice their prep time to prepare their individual games.

From a Korean Point of View, was cheesing in the 5th game bad manner? Or totally fine and a move of strategic genius?

I honestly believe that BBS vs Protoss is the toughest build to face in Brood War. It's much easier to beat it with Zerg, and that's also very hard!

Thanks.
It turns out that Sea did scan the Carriers (14:24 game time) and immediately macro'd up Goliaths just moments before BeSt recalled onto the other side of the main. BeSt sees the Goliaths coming out (15:27) and, with his fleet already half-way to his fifth decides to intercept the tanks going to his main. He never caught scent of the Goliaths Sea got from earlier so he starts producing more Carriers between those times. Getting his fleet caught out and losing 2 ships at 16:49 was really bad, though I don't know how much it would have changed things.

Everyone knows about Sea's accomplishments in Teamleagues here. People also know that he was really strong in the amateur scene. But what people also know is that according to the other pros and even korean TL members, contributing on this site, Sea was barely practicing at all for ASL and focused on establishing his stream. And you can see it in his controls and macro.

Mind you: I'm still angry at BeSt and Bisu for donating wins to Sea but if BeSt was in the finale against Flash we could see some macro games. Now it's basically: Finish in under 10 mins or Flash wins.

Read the part where i say it was the build choice. There are plenty of people here who are saying you cut a goon to get the second gateway and range. To add insult to injury, he tried to proxy as well which made it even worse. Thats not being bad, its having a BO loss while even going greedy with the proxy and not scouting. Bad would be the carrier control in game 4
