We will never see something like peak JD or peak Flash again. It's silly to dream of it and use it as comparison.
Flash and JD literally played 14h a day, both had an entire team behind them and were at the age of having peak reflexes and reaction time.

Also even when Flash n JD were both reigning kings they didn't always perform like you may remember...

When RO8 groups were decided i thought: "this could be historic event if only zergs would advance in semis. Very unfortunate, but still historic". And now look at zergs losing every single game they could :D Still great games, happy for JyJ he showed very strong performance.

Tbh I can kind of see his point. Unnecessarily harsh use of words though.

Somehow that game reminds me of Artosis' ladder experience in TvP, in which he complained about how Protoss was "so bad" by throwing away many units, but then just remaking them AND expanding AND teching at the same time, until Terran runs out of steam. Just JYJ was the Protoss and Soulkey was the Terran

All this ASL needs now is killer Ro4 upsets and then a boring ass TvT finals. Hopefully Best vs hero tho.

I don't understand why people still care to watch a manchild baby cry about the same thing over and over and being completely blinded by his own idea of how BW should be played.

It's like Coyote failing to catch Roadrunner over and over again except it's rarely as funny.

It is insane 4/5 z eliminated ar R8. It would be great for BeSt if JYJ also take down herO.

Crazy unexpected semifinal pairings.. awesome to see! ^^

Best vs JyJ would be a cool final, imo. But honestly? This is hero's ASL to lose I guess..

Just watch more BW. The glory days are long over. This is current peak BW. Still better than you yourself or any other non-Korean can do.

Current era is less about mechanics, which are still very very good and for some players at the level of Kespa era, but the smartest players with the best optimized playstyles and the best strategic sense win championships now.

Fuck all terrans, JyJ is my new favourite terran and that last game must be best game of the season, IMO even better than BeSt vs. Action. hero is in a big trouble!

Lol @ user who posted that FlaSh and EffOrt are better. First of all, SK is the hardest zerg to kill in the world, he fought like mad also he was the guy who took out in finals ace match FlaSh on proleague right before Remastered came out don't remember which one and it was macro win. Don't even try to downgrade JyJ play or compare to FlaSh, guy was always 50+ supplies ahead of him. Secondly, I think not all FlaSh's games are interesting to watch, he just sits on 3 bases, gets zero damage and goes to crush the opponent meanwhile we saw JyJ opted to crazy 2 port wraith strat and constantly sniping defilers, haven't seen such a good m&m and vessel micro in a looooong while.

Wow, that was an amazing series! I really didn't believe JyJ had it in him but I guess he proved me wrong. He did have sloppy control at times but who wouldn't in his position being so close to Ro4. His macro and constant irradiates managed to break Soulkey.

On another topic this Ro4 looks similar to ASL 2 (the best season imo).
Best vs Terran on one side, TvZ on the other, and a chance of TvT finals.
Best just has to look for the bbs that prevented him from reaching the finals that one time.
BeSt / Bisu ftw!!

just watched it and wow amazing series, zergs shitted the beds this round, but I still think that Hero is the primary favorite for the whole thing. Rooting for Best though

What an insane series. Super messy at times but entertaining af. Constant action and had me on the edge of my seat for a long time. Especially game 5 was on the edge for such a long time, wow.

Soulkey really needed to expand in the final game but it's really hard with the setup he had, barely any map control. He almost made it happen, regardless. If anything, I would fault him for never building scourge. Jyj's vessels were all over the place I'm sure he would have gotten so many with scourge. And the vessels were the only reason JyJ was able to come back after he suicided into Soulkey's third and lost most of his army. The constant irradiates were so incredibly cost effiecient.

Hopefully not because Best vs Hero will be super boring. Hoping for JyJ to advance against Best. If Hero advances, Mind would be the more exciting option for the finals.

Game 5 was awesome to watch but I feel like the result was never in doubt. Yes Soulkey was so hard to kill, but he could barely venture to any of JYJ's bases all game. It's not quite Fantasy gg timing but what he essentially did all game was holding on to his life under the orange cloud. That's why I made the comparison with a PvT in which the Terran keeps turtling until the Protoss after waves and waves of attack finally starves him off.

Best game this season for me is still the 76 game between Light and Best. Best vs Action was epic to watch and the result was unpredictable but it doesn't have the back and forth stuff of the game on 76.
