Get me hyped. Get us hyped. Go crazy! Not the finals we wanted, but let's forget about that and show some love to these finalists! What's your favorite snack to eat while watching BW? I haven't decided yet and I'm running out of time. | ||

Nice job on Royal, I'm not the biggest fan with all his cheesy plays, but other than that he had some nice plays as well at times. | ||

He did get some luck with the bracket, getting Shine in Ro8, avoiding Protoss altogether, and cheese also played a big role in his run to the championship. You can't legitimately say he's better than any of Light, Rush, Soma, Queen, Hero, Soulkey, Bisu, Snow,... but those players knocked each other out and Royal got the better of Soulkey and Rush. in what feels like two 50/50 series. Out of the recent ASL champions, he's probably the least convincing. | ||

Probably something to do with the players. I’ve followed BW since the Boxer vs Yellow days. But not even I watched this final live. - No god (bisu, snow, light, flash, jaedong, zero, and so on) - TvT I prefer watching when the “gods” are playing, and I prefer TvZ, PvZ, and TvP | ||

When you look at the macro games, he won most of them decisively and for the one macro game that he lost, he was in serious trouble from the early vulture tank attack but still managed to get back into a decent position before losing. | ||

Idk, Rush played so defensively, no scouting at all. Royal "outmacroed" him because he just expanded and Rush never scouted and punished it - or expanded himself. With 5v3 bases, of course you win in the long run unless you are putting your rally point into the enemy tank line and never move it again. | ||

Not much hype this time, but fun games to watch! I liked how aggressive Royal’s openings were. probably because it contained absolute no marquee players - if this was flash vs light or something no doubt they'd be more fanfare | ||

Was cheering for Rush to get his ASL-win finally, but Royal's strats won me over in a couple of games. Really nice variety and fully deserved winner. Congrats! | ||

I don't mind mirror mu finals as long as it isn't PvP... The ZvZ finals we had some seasons back was one of the best finals we've had and this TvT one was fine, not great, not bad. And the one between Sea and Flash was pretty fun although lopsided. | ||

I personally listen to Scan and Nyoken but a friend of mine waits for Tastosis' vods. By the time he gets back to me I have forgotten 80 % about the matches, lol. | ||

Feel bad for Rush taking down Light just to lose to Royal haha, but I feel like he's destined to win an ASL eventually. + Show Spoiler [ KCM spoiler] + how the fuck are Terran doing so bad in KCM this season when we had a TvT final lol | ||

Frontal assault, drop and expanding at the same time just kept Rush off balance. Also the way Royal did his builds and mixed in some cheese was a really nice way to keep his opponents off balance throughout the series. I thought Soulkey actually played better games in the semis but Royal did play a better series. In the finals I thought Royal was outplaying Rush for most of the games and it is a very well deserved ASL champion imo. Yeah, he was a bit lucky with the brackets but the way he played in the 2 big series he showed himself to be a great player. Gonna be really interesting to see how far he goes next season and what else he is gonna do with Terran, it is rare that Terran has creative players like this. | ||

Royal underperformed a little bit. JYJ currently on a huge slump. And Light, seems like he hasn't been back in shape since the last ASL. Lack of practice, busy with the university thing, maybe even lack of motivation after finally winning ASL as well. | ||

Ro16 he had tough group, and Soulkey is the best zerg (or at least best ZvTer) in 2022. | ||

I can't believe you have the opportunity to go to Korea and to the finals and you just pass on it. There's a lot of fans, me included, that wish to be in your position. Finals should be between the two best players. If it's a mirror matchup, so be it. The more you watch TvT, the more you appreciate it. Anyway, Royal had superb decision making above anything else. Also it felt he was multitasking better than Rush. Well deserved victory. | ||
