Compare this to going neck-to-neck with Flash in Bo3s. But it is a testament to how holding your emotions in check is a skill in competitive broodwar. | ||

That was a fun day, things that were interesting: 1) Not a single comment on game 1. Granted, Sharp had a BO advantage, but the way he dismantled Mind was... humiliating. Nobody bats an eye. Like, Sharp beat Mind again, in other news water is wet. 2) Modesty tried to play a macro game against Best. I was really surprised he had nothing too special in store for him, seeing as how he has not streamed in quite a while. 3) Sharp's vessel use was just fantastic; yea, Best did clump his four arbiters and that was a mistake, but you gotta give it to Sharp for making the most out of his spellcasters, not just the EMPs, but the dmatrixes too. He's such a great tactical player. 4) Modesty lost to Mind in a way that I thought not possible in the Ro16. 5) THAT MINE KILLED FOURTEEN DAMN PROBES 6) SEE 5) Mind beating Best on Block Chain was a big upset. I hope Larva qualifies first from group D. | ||

Um, Sharp is a Top 3 Terran, a great mechanical player with his nice aggressive timings and all but calling him "such a great tactical player" is well...about as dumbfounding as that Soulkey game earlier this week. | ||

His macro is still subpar compared to many other terran but he has improved a lot and seems to be very tricky TvP player. TvT has always been his strongest matchup (correct if I am mistakes, at least post-Kespa) | ||

He has proved it in both Moo Proleague's, in many KCM runs and also in KSL as well as ASL -- most recent example would be his play-off match that got him the seed for example. I'm very much going to continue to root for him and I'm glad I can say that it is not just because he is a Samsung Khan player. Also, today's cast was great, I enjoyed it a ton, one of the best days of ASL I can remember watching in a while. I would recommend all but the loser's match. | ||
