He seems to lose his way in the later stages of tournaments a bit. Guess what I'm saying is that he might've gotten smashed by SK too. | ||

Best made it to three starcast tour finals, which pretty much have all the asl players. also made castermuse 4 final, which also has the entire asl roster. | ||

SSL essentially picked up a dead torch that was dropped by OSL and MSL back then because BW was so tainted and rekindled it, making it a bit better and more immersive each season, but abruptly ended when news hit of Sonic being involved in tax fraud shenanigans (like driving in a Ferrari). Sonic wasn't heard of since. Then likes of Britney, Zeus, Ginyu and Terror hosted some tournaments before ASL and KSL finally came about. I believe Britney (and Terror) became quite the big time streamer(s) then. Then somewhere in 2017 Kim Carrier got involved in some sex related scandal like trying to market some porn using his fame gained from being a BW caster giving BW another hit. Also RapiD got unmasked not long after that, who appeared again years later again, to fuck over BSL, which we can basically thank Rus_Brain for, but that doesn't affect the Korean scene one bit. Anyway without Sonic I really doubt if Korea would have a BW scene at all today, so he's an important figure in its history. He did god's work, unfortunately not clean work. My response to Simplistic is saying BeSt (afaik) is as clean as it gets, in terms of not being relatable to anything bad/unethical/shady like matching fixing, tax fraud, coin scandal, sex scandal, cheating, nor losing large sums of money, etc. etc. which is almost surprising tbh. Best is like saint with a clean sheet. Hope he wins ASL and writes some amazing history. | ||

Light would get stomped by both SK and Snow. Best would have a better chance against SK at least, even if he'd have a worse chance against Snow | ||

What did Best do during that time? Stream? | ||
