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?)
I wonder if stamina is a factor. Best seemed to have more (nervous) energy than Light from about game 5 onwards.

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.
Short game sounds better to me in the context of nervousness, it creates a fast and strong pressure spike, while a longer game allows more room for the players to gather themselves.

Best did look shaky in game 6 but I think he still had the mental edge, Light was super tilted especially after the Dominator game
|
Happy for best. I thought after his awful mistakes in games 1 and 2 that it was the same old best choking in the big games. But he pulled his shit together and dominated from there on in.
|
Its known among top pros that Light is a tilter, but not in the sense of his execution or micro becoming worse, but him feeling like he HAS to attack or make a move and win decisively, even though its high risk. It happened in all of his losses. Most tilters lose their mechanical edge.

Best really does look sick when he loses. It's like he shits the bed but doesn't stop and so he rises up on his shit until he's crushed between his own mountain of shit and the ceiling.
He looks pretty unstoppable once he starts taking the map and gets into his flow state but making it there is a whole different story. Game 1 and game 6 are especially head scratchers, where he had it in the bag but then decided to rock some serious 4 AM taco bell extra cayenne to maximize the incredibly moist and powerful bed shitting that was to come.
That said, a Best vs Soulkey finals could be amazing. It'd be sick to see Best pick Soulkey up by the collar like Darth did to that guy who might've had the death star plans and throw his BITCH ASS against the wall like an old bag of russets. Go Best.
ilu too soulkey

seems that terran struggles vs p nowadays, i wonder if it is going to be reflected in next asl maps

If you had to compare BeSt to a dinosaur, what would it be and when

Do you think Best will assume the foetal position or enter a fugue state ifwhen he gets drone drilled in between the assimilators again?
|
Always great to see players showing that much emotion for advancing... Even if 99% of their income is in streaming these days, it says alot about the prestige attached to ASL. Like the old days of OSL/MSL

I know what you're asking, and it's like that scene from jurassic park where Newman drops the can of whipped cream filled with dino eggs into the river before a face off with the spitter dino.
BeSt is both Newman and the spitter, the ultimate auroboros of StarCraft. One moment he's a rapacious mankiller that unfurls horrifying webbing from his face and spits acid, the next moment he's a fat guy who can't drive and just dies there in the rain right before a huge payday.
Not saying BeSt is fat—or that there's anything wrong with fat or being fat—in fact, you could easily argue that he (or anyone, or everyone) is quite fit and handsome. I would. But he definitely shapeshifts into Newman on occasion and Newman's a bit bigger. It isn't even Newman's weight that kills him anyway, but the rain in that scene and his glasses that keep getting wet and fogging up. Luckily, even when BeSt is in his Newman form, he's at least wearing contacts so he avoids that whole thing. But still shits himself.
But BeSt is probably an Allosaurus. When? IDK, tomorrow. Maybe a year ago.
Or maybe a Spinosaurus. I'm changing my answer to Spinosaurus.

Somehow still my favorite OSL finals :D
Happy for Best. Met him once ages ago on a Korea trip after a Proleague game, the nicest guy  . He is at it since so long, would be cool if he finally wins a big one (I highly doubt it tho...).

Congrats to Best. Is this his first star league final since remastered?

I heard JulyZerg will be taking the place of the interviewer for the finals.

It's his first final since EVER OSL in 2008.
Which makes me wonder... Did he play in the Sonic leagues at all?

Man that would be some insane mindgames-comedy...
