man, I was really pulling for light because I don't even want the chance of a PvP finals and I don't think BeSt can beat soulkey, but here we are.

not pulling tanks far enough, pulling vultures behind the tanks, not waiting another 5 seconds for mines... Light's micro was slightly sloppy at the end

I can’t believe it was 17 years ago that Best last made the finals.

Great comeback from Best. I expected this outcome in the first game as well.

Seems to have been an emotional hurdle of epic proportions getting to the finals. I'm glad at least that is over.

Pray that the finals is not Snow vs Best. They played a final a few days ago and it was not pretty. PvP is high-key Best's worst match-up. The final with Soulkey would probably provide at least a couple of good games.

yeah he talked about the mental burden and stress of not making it to ASL finals and always being the laughing stock for the last 19 seasons

as in i would rather a PvP than a Best vs SK because I feel like SK is the best player rn and would just 4-0 or 4-1 again

4:0 or 4:1 are the most likely results for SK vs anyone Bo7 series atm imo. Perhaps only Snow could possibly make it more competitive

Thing with Best is, he has the skills to win titles. When he's on it he's really tough to beat. But it's hard to trust him to keep it together. To put it mildly...

Best has more chance in a Bo7 vs Soulkey than Snow imo. Especially if Soulkey is forced to show his hand a round before. Surely Mini/Bisu won't mind giving Best some tips either.

Not on these maps BUT I do agree, Best is pretty good in PvZ. People haven't updated their old preconceptions on how he fares in that match-up.

Snow vs Best PvP in a bo7 is a bigger gap than Best vs Soulkey, on ok-ish maps.

what a throw from light. light should have gone for a longer game since best was nervous. i mean, beating him with 2 fac would have been nice like u beat him in map 1 but honestly map 1 was a fluke, best simply needed to pull back more once his obs was out no need for those mines to connect on goons. either way, seeing bests emotion i am happy for him, though i dont see him touching soulkey.
Remember that we all come from a place of passion!!

Throw by Light, but perhaps he had little gas left in the tank for a big game or he just gambled. Either way congrats to Best.

In terms of results this is the best ASL in years, in terms of seeing amazing games maybe not so much (yet?)
