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. | ||

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. | ||

(In SC2 terms, it's like trying to out-trick the trickster god sOs himself - not a very wise move in a long series.) Exactly, in my oppinion Sea cant endure at Best pace in straight macro game, we saw that in game 3. And BeSt beat himself with that strange play he picked. A tournament of dissapointments indeed. | ||

A tournament of dissapointments indeed. What, game 3 ist the worst example because Sea went for a 2 fac push and did exactly 0 damage... The only reason it wasn't a complete roll-over was because Sea's greedy play was off the charts and Best let him do his thing.

I think it was actually his strongest match-up. Yeah, I might remember that the wrong way. It might have been a little later when Flash started to drop TvTs to nobodies. For example his infamous group stage drop out, losing to Ssak and Classic. | ||

Can you remember off the top of your head another example of Flash dropping TvT to mediocre players? Or did one bad day of two games total lead to your opinion? I'm not saying this to accuse. Genuinely curious how you got to this impression. Flash was so good at TvT for the last three years of his career that even with "slumps" by his standards, he ended BW with the highest vs T ELO out of any player at the time (live ELO, not peak ELO, and not just TvT, any matchup vT). This is even in spite of the 3-0 loss to Fantasy only a month or so before the end of pro BW, and losing 5 of his last 6 TvT. | ||

Really hoping for no TvT finals T_T I feel like it would kind of kill the energy of ASL for me. Prior to this result I would have ranked the potential semis in terms of personal interest as: 1. Best vs. Flash 2. Best vs. Jaedong 3. Sea vs. Jaedong 4. Sea vs. Flash And I'm sure I'm not the only one. Feels bad to be deprived of a Best vs. Flash finals ): | ||

No one only loses in their matchup to "expected" players, though I agree that Really was extra surprising as he wasn't even considered strong at TvT like Skyhigh or Last. Was just curious about this particular poster's reason for the memory. | ||
