EPTIt's funny cause Best is also a master at this. After the semifinals he had a game against Mind in ProLeague and he blasted him like he was a rank below his level. How the tournament pressure makes or breaks a player chances.

Also Hero has been to semis and finals for countless times without ever winning one. He's due one title. Those were exactly my thoughts.. Hero at this point is the most consistent top pro in ASL to always go far and not win a trophy. Well at least this match was entertaining, unlike Best vs. Mind... But i do have to say, JYJ vs. Soulkey was better.

But as this ASL has shown, online play =/= offline play. You don't know that. Mini and Soma might have flopped spectacularly in the RO16 just like they did in RO24. If they sucked in RO24, chances are they would have sucked in RO16 as well. Also, Snow is the MOST dominant player online, and BY FAR. His win-rate coming to this ASL was a whopping 10 % higher than anybody's. He was the true nr. 1 favorite to win this season. | ||

I was CLENCHING, herO starting off 2-0 had me so worried, esp since it was the most significant loss of vessels JyJ had in the entire ASL run. Coming back with the Vermeer timing and the Dark Origin Tank push only to narrowly lose to a 4pool. The final game 8rax 2port wraith reminded me a lot of JyJ's final game vs SK. The conversion into a win was a little drawn out, but man it was so exciting as someone rooting for JyJ. | ||

I really like the chess and strategical aspect of it Between two mediocre players, TvT can drag on with not much happening. Between two top tier players, TvT creates some of the most intense multitask games out there. TvT between two high level players is the dream finals | ||

He was the true nr. 1 favorite to win this season. leading up to asl snow had the best tvp winrate by a large margin. his pvz was a bit closer to average winrate and his pvp was 50/50. Snow was leading on eloboard together with soma and mini for most of january and february. but then in march snow fell down a couple ranks and his winrate did too. he was still dominant but not as dominant. the meta shifted. soma stayed at the top and mini moved back to the top and so did light. since then soma and light have peaked at the highest eloboard ratings since it started. | ||

Meanwhile, online the overall win rate for Terran hasn't changed one bit. Certainly no one's gonna be able to say "It's just Flash" now. | ||

Terran is the master race! 910 needs to come up with HEAVY anti terran maps next season lol (+ anti FlaSh ^^). Also what's up with falling out of chair whenever you seeded to finals lol. Last season RoyaL now JyJ. For some reason there's a step close behind the chairs, so they want to jump up in excitement, and then the chair gets caught... | ||

Yeah, I'm sad they seem to have removed that. Sometimes they're underwhelming, but there have been some really good series that came out of those matches. | ||

The dumb myth of "protoss op" and "poor terran plz buff" will never cease, no matter what happens.. you can count on that. | ||
