this group is silver platter easy for best, if he somehow still chokes he deserves it.

Usually I would say that Mind and BeSt are gonna sweep this group but after seeing Sharp's performance lately, I would say that Mind is in a big trouble. I think BeSt should be OK cause his PvT is unmatched. Modesty isn't that good to deserve ro8 spot, he needs more training.

Modesty's best chance is to win against Best twice. And he can do it, after all it's just zvp. Against Best.

Is there a reasonable reason why the youtube stream is never listed on a site where most people have issues to watch the afreeca stream anyway?

Youtube stream link is different every time so you can't link it before it actually goes live.

I guess this game is a good cautionary tale as to where you should morph lurkers

I know that people will hype up this game but Best was sooo sloppy in the late game of that game. Sharp was great so it's difficult to call it a throw but the amount of mistakes Best had in the span of 3-4 minutes was insane.

How much is stasis, how much is a high templar? Seriously?..

Snow is still and by far the best PvT-er playing right now.

I think BeSt's mistake was to have so less arbiters while those pushes and not a single stasis, he almost got it. Then at end he got roflstomped by EMP's which looked so pity. I loved how Sharp played at end - denying nexus by tank drop, harassing with vultures, and of course HT snipes were brilliant.

Sharp is very good with his vultures. He had great mineplacement, found many probekills and sniped templars. I think that these positions favor terran though, that southern path looks horrible for Protoss to break if terran gets a good position.

Well, that 3rd game confirmed this no matter what I initially thought.

Mind and Last basically got into the next round for free haha.

That's an understatement. 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.

Mini is possibly the biggest example of this, yeah.

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.

Still less embarassing than putting the hatch down instead of the pool after scouting a proxy earlier this week.

Once again Best fumbles out in bizarre manner. The mine was bad luck, but compared online he seemed shaky.


That's an understatement. 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.


Mini is possibly the biggest example of this, yeah.

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.

That was such a choke by Best, he's much better than this. Been watching Flash's stream and the level of play is so different compared to this.

I think Sharp is foremost tactical player, who prays on his opponents mistakes. 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)

The way Sharp handled the match v Best was a great display of tactical prowess, I think. All the way from pressuring the natural after the recall to the smart use of dropship play to the way he has set himself up to win by outspelling the protoss in the late game, it was pure wit and strategic decisionmaking that allowed him to win. And I think, that on the contrary of calling him a great tactical player being a mistake, it is what sets him apart (even if not above per se) from other Ts currently vying for a 2nd place behind Flash.

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.

Game 3 was sick, one of the best matches of the tournament so far.

Man so many upsets in these groups. There's a not 0% chance that horang2 will be the only Protoss in the Ro8 now :O . I'm starting to prepare for protoss rage if both mini and rain fail out of group D because of hydra busts or something haha.

That mine was no bad luck, he ordered the dragoon to move through the mineral line and just didn't expect the mine there.

That mine drag on the probes must have sunk Bests heart. God damn, that was a brutal mine drag. I thought Sharp would advance but not Mind. Nice to see Terrans starting to figure out Block-chain TvP.

Did they figure out or have tosses under delivered. Snow was greedy on a good map in a bo1. Best well...
