Well, it's not like Best played particularly well regardless of the build order disadvantage.

What he did was great for the flow of the game as it was scouted by both sides. Also a very good strat for this map in PvT.

That drone micro from Action. Killed that scouting SCV. Amazing.
|
Perfect reaction by Action vs the runby, omg!

Not sure what's the problem here..
I thought it was pretty well known at this point. In a 2-player map things might be different but otherwise, I fully stand by my claim.

1 base tank wraith push? Gets scouted by the speed overlord anyways.
|
How can you lose the wraiths like that, Sexy ? Very hard to comeback now...
|
well...at least i'll have one LB right
|
Ok, this is just beautiful by Action.
|
Really nice drops. Drop defiler and lurker and nothing he has can really counter the darkswarm. Sexy just straight up gg's when he sees the mutas. Doesn't have any anti-air left.
|
Wraith openers are too high risk/low reward.

He took his third way earlier than "standard timing", counting on either Best not finding out, or not being able to attack because of this map. If Terran has 3 bases and Protoss has 2, Terran simply wins, no amazing skills required.
If the game was played on Eclipse or Polypoid (which it should be because its a BO1), JYJ would never.

I would say that is identifying and playing to the strengths of the map. No player is obliged to play the way you want them to play in a competitive game.

And if you do, do it on a balanced map.

It's a dick move to do it in elimination matches though. Unless it's a throwaway weekend tourney for fun.

I really don't understand Best's late game. He is playing like he is the zerg, lol.
|
It feels like we never got to see a big army clash in this game, only skirmishes.
|
Oh, Best discovered T3 units.

Which is a good thing.
