Sea's plays were rather 'risky' and 'gimmicky' - not just with the cheese in G5, but with his sharp timings (daring vulture run-by, 2-fac push, etc.). And I don't mean it in a bad way, but actually as a compliment of how well he played to his strengths and awareness that playing straight-up against a macro machine like BeSt puts him at a disadvantage.

BeSt's mistake was trying to play 'risky' and 'gimmicky' too. It's just not his style, and played against his strengths and towards Sea's advantage. (In SC2 terms, it's like trying to out-trick the trickster god sOs himself - not a very wise move in a long series.)

So yes, on a strategic-level, Sea was the superior player. And his execution was better since he was playing a strategy that suited him well (whilst BeSt executed poorly because he was trying out a strategy he wasn't comfortable with).

the classic

omg what a choke from Light. 4 probes left. Goes for the Dragoon with the shield battery. *facepalm* Not that he didn't already screw up a couple times already by that point, but still, that was especially cringeworthy.
fuck art its a competition if you dont get pissed off when you lose you dont care enough - Idra, on the "art" of RTS games.

it is not the first time we see best stumble in BoX, he is mentally not well prepared, he don't lack in any other field, his own decision to go for carriers on map You should not go carriers was what killed him not Sea, because he lost two games to bbs and vulture sneaking and won two games in AMAZING fashion, he was overall much better player, but as I said already he cracked mentally. Good series nevertheless.

How can he be a better player if me made big mistakes and "cracked mentally"? That to me is a sign of a weaker player. Mechanics alone is not what will win you tournaments on the pro level.

Well i am cheering for JD for the same reason, but i really don't want a TvT finals either haha
Not that TvT cannot be interesting/fun to watch, but TvZ is simply way better imo.

TvZ is heart and soul of broodwar since BoXer vs Yell0w rivalry.

How come You have never encountered game in any sport/esport that in Your feeling loosing team/player was better?
it happens from time to time and it happened yesterday.

srsly, not even taking into account who you are rooting for, that game 5 was uninspiring and boring. Well executed by Sea, but from a spectators PoV... meh.

From spectators view?
What about from the players view? Those game are just crap to play.


Well, don't disagree. But then players pick these buildorders to win, not to play entertaining games. So it doesn't matter so much to them if the game was a nice game to play.

It's not even the best mirror matchup though.

Flash's TvT offline is pretty untested right now. His last big TvT was in the ASL last season and he lost 0-3 to Last. In his prime I also always had the feeling that TvT was the match-up where oponents had the best chance of winning. He played a very standard style. His TvT looked the most human out of all three match ups.

Nah, in his prime, Flash's TvT was beyond ridiculous. 22 win streak, and it made absolutely no sense how he would come back from behind in some of those matches. I think it was actually his strongest match-up.
