Wow. I thought Sharp was going to take that series 3-0 or 3-1 at least. A few mistakes from modesty but i think sharp didn't really respect him coming into this series.

I'm always happy to see a zerg who is willing to mix in devourer/queen/guardian on the reg advance

the sad part is that pro terrans see this kind of build from time to time in the high end of ladder, zelot is another keen practitioner of this guardian build. a ladder king like sharp should be experienced at dealing with it and yet got overconfident and make bad decisions he shouldn't do. example in game 5 where he start pressuring too early before he got his 5rax up and let his marines all get efficiently traded off by the mutas, instead of sticking to the turrets until his 5rax is up before pressuring as he should.

OP has a twitch link for Korean stream, and a afreeca link for English stream.
Afreeca doesn’t work for me, any twitch or YouTube link for the Korean stream?

Dunno how you're getting redirected to AfreecaTV when all broadcasting is carried out through Twitch

The OP linked to Afreeca, presumably because it was copy pasted.

Yes.. Sharp proving once again what choker he is. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that he doesn't yet deserve a spot in the top 3 list with his mediocre TvZ.. what kind of a champ are you if you play like this in Ro16 !? Against Modesty????
Best on the other hand,reprimanding his PvZ reputation. I noticed people didn't really appreciate his play, but I thought he put quite the show... these main base dts :D :D
Zero surely played better in his series with Best than Modesty did against Sharp. I see him as the second player to advance from this group after Best.

Damn can't believe sharp lost those last 2 games. Modesty's muta micro is great but Sharp's micro and decision-making really messed up in games 4/5. When he busted that nat it seemed like he was too indecisive and instead of running into the main and killing a lot of drones or trying to kill the the natural hatch, he kinda farted around and killed 2 overlords and like 2 drones.

I don't see sharp beating zero in the loser's match, and with so few terrans in the Ro16 already I'm worried about racial balance in the Ro8 haha.

Modesty played pretty well but he's such a one-note player, I wonder why sharp didn't go in with more specialized anti 2-hatch muta builds.
