So Rush is in excellent form, appearing stronger than Mini and beating hero... But doesn't deserve to win a title? Based on 'past achievements'?
Confusing. Rush deserves a chance to win a title based on 'past achievements' like winning his ro8 and ro4 matches... Right?
I get you want a close finals, but saying Rush doesn't deserve a title is without merit

First of all, he said Mini and Hero deserve MORE, not Rush doesn't deserve a title.
Secondly, I share the same sentiment with him as well. Here's how:
Clearly "past achievements" refers to past seasons. If winning R8 & R4 of the current season is the merit being discussed, then clearly both players appearing in the same game deserve the same chance. In that regard, Mini and Hero were both finalists or R4 players before, multiple times. While this is the first time ever that Rush enters the R4. Even among the Terrans, Light deserves a title more than him.
If Rush wins this ASL, it's more a case of him hitting form and getting a favorable bracket than being the champion caliber player.
