Had a lot of action, and by that i mean action keep suiciding his armies at a good pace. I wouldn't call him match fixing, like many people seems to think. lol Overall good match, i feel like game 4th ended a bit too fast, but cant blame action after what hes been through in previous games (except game 1). Happy for best and i think this ASL is his, if he keep that mindset, no1 in the pool can beat him a bo5 at the moment. | ||

I mean, Best built the correct amount of cannons to survice - a difficult task in itself - only to continue the game in a position where he was expected to lose. I don't think I agree with the assessment. In game 2, Action was behind after the initial Hydra-pressure, and he took a long time to even get his mineral only. The reason he nearly won was the multi-angle Lurker drops that did huge damage. At no point did Action actually have an army that could overwhelm Best in a defensive posture. Similarly in game 3, after the Hydra pressure, Action was actually almost dead. The game went long because Best made the questionable decision to attack Action's natural, instead of going for the softer 3rd base. If he kept his army in tact, to get a couple of Reavers, he could've probably broken the natural. | ||

You put a guy like Soulkey or Hero in those situations and it's 3-0 for Zerg. It's ridiculous in this matchup that Action can opened with hydras to have a game ending threat, but could still transition out of it into a macro game where he had the lead. I mean, Best built the correct amount of cannons to survice - a difficult task in itself - only to continue the game in a position where he was expected to lose. Completely agree on both points. PvZ always starts with the assumption Protoss will lose in my head. It's such an uphill battle. | ||

Honestly Best did not look like a championship level player. It feels like his victories vs. Action come due to the cause of Action's shity decision making and lack of patience - the same happens to Soma more than it should. However, Do Jae Wook's perseverance to never surrender even when the odds seem pathetic is what i admire the most about him. Truly he is that guy which will fight to the very end. And often this results in the most epic games ever. On April 03 2023 19:29 BLinD-RawR wrote: What the hell is wrong with you guys? Most of you do not recommend the first game? But it was a brilliant mini mind game from Action! Do you consider this cheesy? | ||

I agree with you that Action likely threw away winning games but I think Best deserves plenty of credit here. Also agree with you about game one by the way, it's something novel to see lings just bust down the gateway and break in like that with four zealots sat there powerless. | ||

This series was insane, honestly legendary. It's always great when one player has a god tier performance, but when both players play absolutely great games and one shows resolve even greater beyond it's definitely those nerd chills artosis always talks about. wooo! | ||
