I really like Best and his PvZ in particular, but I just don't see him qualifying from this group. I just hope he gets to play three games against both larva and Action so we get to watch more. | ||

Snow's predictions are: Best(W) vs Light Action(W) vs Larva Best(2) vs Action(1) Light(2) vs Larva(0) Light(2) vs Action(0) And I hope he's right. Best has looked quite good throughout the year. So long as Best doesn't choke like he usually seems to do. | ||

Here we gogogo! Even if my LB is on Action and Light, somehow I am rooting for Best (the macro beast) and Larva! I like watching Larva on youtube cuz he has a great family and he is very funny (tho i don't understand anything haha) | ||

I follow BW scene since 2005 but I can't remember such moments with Best i cant remember which game it was during proleague, but i think it was a PvT against someone with poor TvP. it was a tough game and best eventually won. in the post interview the question was something like "you almost lost that, what were you thinking?" paraphrased, but i think best answered "i almost lost, but then i thought "you're playing against X, you can win... it's X after all"" LOL that and celebrating before he's won (back in the day when people didn't do that shit and people freaked out about firebathero's ceremonies) etc. | ||

Tasteless does the exact same thing. almost everything tasteless says is from the protoss' perspective. they're both biased. If fact I I feel Artosis tries to make more of an effort commentating from the other race's perspective. | ||

This ZvZ was dictated by a total build order win by Larva, as Action went for a 9pool vs Larva 12 hath on a big map with cross position. Action was no able to do any damage from beggining, and from there technically there was no way for Action to win, he was straigth behind whole game. | ||

That's what I'm actually upset about, I was really looking forward to Best vs larva. Best/Action is considerably more lopsided imo. But who knows, we might see an upset, I'll be more than happy to be wrong. | ||

Action's decision to go into mutas was very questionable however imo after seeing so many corsairs. Letting best get his third up at 11 for absolutely no reason was also highly questionable. | ||

He is what he always was, a macro monster. Once his gateways are powered on, dude makes units. Best looks in form and contrary to the fanbois Best is threat to every Terran who ever lived including Master Light. | ||

He goes from Top of the zerg-world play to shine or roro. Just a wildcat of a player. If we ever see 'full form Larva', I think he will win a league lossless or near it. | ||

Every player really gave their all and showed some neat moves: Action's cunning bag of builds, Light's single dummy turret to fake a 3rd expo, Larva's mass queens, Best's ninja DTs.... Too many to count! BW is well alive! Looking forward for Flash's random! | ||

I'm surprised no one is talking about the first BeSt vs Light game. BeSt threw away like 15 zealots to pure mines when he tried to bust Light's mining base at the end of the game and Light barely had much of an army there (think like 5 tanks?). I facepalmed hard when I saw that. Not to say this was a guaranteed 100% win, but that move essentially sealed his fate that game. It's somewhat akin to Light's marine blocking the SCV from blocking the choke and allowing the lings from Larva's 4 pool to make it in, except this was an AI thing while BeSt chose not to split and had all his zealots evaporate before making much contact with the tanks. On October 10 2020 01:27 Ideas wrote: Really great games, happy to see Best do great. Definitely not the 2 players I foresaw advancing, sucks that Light is out making Rush the only T in the Ro8. Maybe though we'll get our first PvZ finals in like what, 11 years? Counting only "premiere" starleagues (OSL/MSL/KSL/ASL) I don't think there's been a PvZ final since Jangbi vs Luxury in that one MSL? There was EffOrt vs Bisu in VNSL which was essentially ASL's predecessor (almost like ASL0 lol). However, you are right. We haven't had a PvZ finals in all 9 editions of ASL so perhaps we may get it in this one. | ||

Yea that was a big throw but I doubt it woulda made him win the game anyway. It was a shame cause it coulda been longer game and possibly he would still have a chance. He was playing from so far behind that game though. I mean its already amazing he made it that long, but I dont think he would've ever won that game. Still a great game for Best though, despite losing. Edit: I do think with perfect templar control he could've won that game. Best nowhere near played perfectly, but it was damn good. I mean same can be said for Light of course. But we like to root for the loser. | ||

But we like to root for the loser. Best seemed rather 'sloppy' with engagements throughout. Even in the last game vs Light, his repeated drops were rather inefficient in terms of economic trade-off. But seems to me that Best is a macro beast, and that's all part of his gameplan - take the occasional tactical losses in order to gain a bigger strategic advantage. Though inefficient, the engagements distracted Light, forced him to turtle, and allowed Best to freely expand and control the map. The flip side of such gameplan is that Best often don't micro his army as well as, say, Bisu. But ultimately it's a feature, rather than a bug, of his overall approach to the game. (I'm basing this notion from the group games. I'm not an avid follower of Best's games. So do correct me if I'm wrong). | ||

But we like to root for the loser. I disagree. Light's base on the left side was getting mined out and was recently attacked by BeSt who killed some workers too. The main mining base for Light was the one on the right. If BeSt controlled the engagement much better than he did, he shuts down the mining of Light and puts him on a timer seeing as BeSt still has 2 mining bases which had a good number of resources as I recall. Not to mention that Light's overall army wasn't as big which would favour BeSt if they were to engage at that moment. BeSt however throwing away like 15 zealots due to not splitting was huge at that point. Go back and watch the game (I should too incase) but I remember a huge amount of zealots evaporating to a mine field. Even as a macro beast, losing that many is essentially gg in this kind of situation imo. | ||
