Scan translating the interview now says the online score between Best and Rush is heavily favored in Best (2:1). But offline is offline! I wonder if that makes Rush more incentivized to try to end the game early.

Best and Bisu are getting a little shit for not adapting to the trendy meta led by Mini and Snow, with Bisu especially being more conservative and old school.

This is true. Bisu's PvT decision-making has never been amazing. He overwhelms you with mechanics. Nothing wrong with that, though -- mechanics matter a ton in Brood War.

This happens a lot when lesser players play top tier pros offline: they choke. sSak definitely looks like he's choking.

Still trying to talk us into this being a game. Just because sSak has 3 bases doesn't mean his economy is great. His early game eco was trash, so he had no economic momentum. Bisu can just take the whole map.

Bisu's attack decimates sSak and that's that. Bisu can just a-move spam units and win.

Heavy Terran bias from Nyoken. No, dude, there was no chance sSak ever had a chance after how badly he botched the beginning. He's been trying to talk up sSak from the beginning of the cast. sSak is a decent little Terran who cannot compete against the heavy hitters. Come on now.

Best's PvT isn't as great as it used to be. It's good. It's not scary or anything. I feel like he's pretty one-dimensional in PvT. He also runs into mines like a complete idiot almost every game.

Looked like Best was going to win. But he pulled defeat from the jaws of victory. At least he's guaranteed a Bo3 PvT. Expecting him to buster out like always, though.

I am glad Bisu won because I believe Best has a better PvT than him.

Come on Best, you can win vs any terran !

Goddamn, can't believe I have to sit through a Bo3 TvT. Might fall asleep. The good news is at least Nyoken and Scan will be more interested and knowledgeable. Nyoken is usually amazing but he's been pretty meh today. That and at least sSak and Rush are entertaining players.

This map looks very hard for protoss against terran. On the other hand, it seems great for carreers.

Oof, I'm always sad to see Best get eliminated. That was a very tough group, though, and he played some good games.
Congratulations to Bisu and Rush.
May the BeSt man win.

Best just cannot help himself, the performance is nothing like spongames. With all the bad things In both starcraft and his personal life it feels so bad to see Best drop out like this...

Amazing how Best can always fuck up. He was clearly the better player, just manages to lose... How is it even possible... But yea, only he himself is to blame for it. He could've won this series so easlily especially after the 1-0 lead...

Honestly, I'm always relieved when Best goes out early. His Ro8 matches are awful when he does make it, though I guess the series vs Mini was at least funny.

But don't worry, I'll get in on the pain when Snow gets absolutely crushed in the next group.

This is like saying, "The student is excellent in practice tests, but is terrible during the real test!"

If you can't perform consistently under pressure, then it's not really skill.

And it's not like Best is particularly dominant in KCM or Ultimate Battle or anything. He admitted in the Ro24 interviews he was not a true contender to win this season. And he was right.

When someone shows you who they are, believe 'em. I love Best, but he's not a winner. He's a great No 2 or No 3 but you can't have him as your No 1 guy and expect to go anywhere.

Best is hardly ever a player you wanna bet on.
When he didn't throw away his sairs carelessly a few years ago for just 2 games, he was immediately credited for it in an interview. It was very not Best like. People got excited. Would Best, like Light and Mini finally find a break through where he is ready to fight for the crown? Nope... his improved-self lasted like 1 or 2 more games.

Best is a good guy to have on your team, but I can't root for him in a tournament setting unless he is up against Flash.
Maybe he can talk with Snow and Mini to get the enlightment he desperately need. It's some sort of insecurity he has that he needs to overcome on top of putting in the work.

Perhaps next ASL? I doubt it :/

Best's peak was 1-2 years ago when shuttle play in PvT was trendy. He's not gonna improve suddenly at 33 years of age. Plus, he's more focused nowadays on running his Starcraft academy. Didn't even pratice much for this ASL. His number of spongames started dwindling down very fast since the last ASL. In fact he seems content with finishing in the Ro16 this time, compared to last season where he almost retired from ASL after his exit.

Agreed. You can tell the fire's not there. Not that I blame him in any way -- he's always a legend and always will be. I kept my expectations intentionally low.

I think he's really underrated vZ now though. He's lost a lot of vT skill and gained a lot of vZ skill. He has some of the most unique mid-game timings of any PvZ, and is excellent at finishing the game off before late game Zerg makes it almost impossible for P to win.

One of the biggest weaknesses I see with him vs Mini is the early game. Mini's early game is insane, leveraging his micro. Best's early game micro isn't anything special, though. The current meta is all about P being really good early game, leveraging your first couple of Zealots, and he doesn't do that well.

Did BeSt choke this time or not? I think if he played solid macro game without shuttle shenanigans he could advance. But can't blame that much him, last two maps were hard for toss. In other hand, even though I like Rush and want him to win ASL he wasn't that solid tbh, I don't see him winning this ASL with so many stacked groups.

Butter is tossmap no doubt. But nemesis seems quite good for tvp regarding recent spongames and extremely bad for toss. It was coined as Carrier-sair-reaver-map but those additional paths seem to be detrimental (moreso in pvz) for protoss.

I still argue this was a choke from Best, even in sylphid- game he had a lot of bad trades, it just looks nothing like how he handles Rush in spongames.
