The problem is if he slowly clears those mines with Observer, it will take forever for his army to get where it needs to, let alone the apm dedicated to that task.

If Terran lays mines all over the map like that, Protoss mobility becomes a myth. At that point of the game, Gatewayman is no longer a viable option.

To a point, yes.

However in that game, the balance was way all over to the Terran.

Gotta remember that Best was also constantly making shuttles off of 1 robo. So less time to make obs, every obs he loses hurts much more.

I've been thinking lately, why don't zergs start researching speed and transport their defilers (and also store their defilers in) overlords?

Especially during those midgame pushes where it is GG if a defiler gets in range and the Terran always irradiated en route?

Probably too much gas investment for the midgame since u need to rush consume but after that in the lategame it would make sense to at least store defilers in ovies. Moving ultras to a base? Grab 4 overlords and put a defiler in 1, unload when in position. Slight apm cost but would be worthwhile imo. Faster than burrow and u have mobility.

Anyways Soma big threw that game. Worst muta split of all time when he was close to finishing the game

I way prefer the OSL round robin bo1 format for the Ro16, I wish we had a tournament that still used it

Hahah that was such a zany format! It always seemed odd to me that the fate of Player A often hinged on the outcome of Player B vs Player C. I remember someone making a "comic" out of photos of Flash and Jaedong from Fomos. They're both wearing fancy suits and Flash is explaining that even though he's down 0-2, he's still alive in the tournament --- he just needs Horang2 to beat Kal, and then Flash needs to win his third match, and then Flash needs to win the tiebreak match. And Jaedong is examining his cuff saying "Still, it is difficult for Horang2 to beat Kal..." (IRL he was probably saying "dang, I've never worn a suit before...")

Anyone still know where to find that?

Oh yeah and the tiebreaks. There was no way to guarantee that a 3-way tiebreak match couldn't go on until the end of time. The record was a tiebreak match that re-tied three times before getting broken on the fourth tiebreak, wasn't it?

Still, I can see the upside. Players had a LOT of time to prepare for each individual match. There wasn't a single Ro16 game where a player hadn't had a chance to craft a plan for that specific opponent on that specific map.

Usually a "long time to plan a bo1" involved a cleverly crafted cheese. BO3 format seems a lot better, games were more similar to long games on KCM race wars

I really enjoy cleverly crafted cheese strategies, but I don't enjoy seeing players go home disappointed after playing a single six-minute game. Bo3s give players more chances to show what they've prepared and to claw their way back after a loss, if they're able, so I'm with you on that.

prepare what? there are too many maps to prepare for and the selection is double blind, they don't have picks, only bans.

why do you think FS is even on the map map pool.

FlaSh being God again by predicting that JyJ is the future of terran because he played like he was on steroids. What a masterful TvT! Destroying best 2nd zerg SoMa and dismantling Sharp who is in form? Who could expect him to come this far.
Get rekt SoMa, your winrate this season is 0%.
Pros who said Sharp is one of the "tasty meat" on group ceremony must be ashamed right now. Sharp's vulture control and mine placement were superb against BeSt! And he proved it in first and final games. But I never expected that BeSt is going to win two last games, especially that 2nd game it was incredible! He's still looking sexy please BeSt, win an ASL, it's about time!!!
