Man, whatever happened to JangBi? I feel like he never made a return after Kespa was shut down. That being said, this reminded me of one of the greatest hype videos ever made just before the last ever OSL final took place back in 2012 by one of my favourite english casters NukeTheStars - . We thought it was over, but it never truly was <3! | ||

Also, does anyone know what the deal with Snow's coughing is? Been constantly coughing on stream and even during ASL matches for awhile now... | ||

The greatest ever ASL was when Flash went random - nothing will top that, but this ASL19 might just be the "second Best" ever. | ||

I'd much rather watch Congo where at least the violent apes get fucking owned in the end. Here it's just like pressing start on a single player game where I'm face-checking a brick wall over and over. It's no big secret why many smart and interesting people stopped posting on forums a long time ago. What could be an oasis in a desert is just bad in a different way. BTW, if one group of balance whiners somehow conclusively defeats the other group in an argument, literally nothing happens. And if something were to happen, the game would be ruined. So all of this back and forth isn't just annoying and uninteresting, it's potentially harmful. And also flares up my epcot-globe-sized hemorrhoids. | ||

Bad ending. No chance he makes it back to a finals ever again. Not after this heartbreak. A player like BeSt needed EVERYTHING to go right to get here and I just cant see that happening again unforunately | ||

That was 4 seasons ago. Do you remember how he dispatched Action that season? He is also the match of Stork in crazy berserking in PvT. He is really the match of Soulkey who himself reinvented queens. | ||

Best never revolutionized anything. People only associate DA with him because he does it more than others. In fact SoulKey is hyper-aware of it and easily outplays Best's DA by always having two groups of mutas. | ||

SK didn't beat Best using mutalisks. Best made a mistake by expanding into SK's 3 oclock direction. | ||

DA is not Best's invention, he just likes to use it. | ||

A player like BeSt needed EVERYTHING to go right to get here and I just cant see that happening again unforunately I like to hold onto the hope that he can return and go again. Yes he's an emotional player, but also incredibly skilled and got where he got this season on grit and ability. So why not again? I don't know. I wouldn't count him out. I was cheering for him so hard - I watched half the finals, then slept, and spent all night dreaming of different ways the games could go 😅 so I know it's hard to get past the disappointment. But really, why not? Why can't he go again? | ||

Watch this game and tell me if there ever was a pro who used DAs like he does. He shuts zerg swarm dead in its tracks. | ||

The only reason why you don't see it from them is because zerg players are generally cautious enough to not move their whole army in one singular clump right into a heavily fortified protoss base. Action decided to be funny and we got a hilarious moment. There's nothing revolutionary about that. What you're showing us is not a highlight of Best, but a low point of Action. You're just perceiving it differently because you don't know what it looks like when a zerg player actually plays the game well. | ||

It is interesting to be citing the game as Action's low point when I have watched all game to see an Action victory. You guys really don't see eye to eye with the viewpoints you present. No zerg sees fault in zerg perspective, it is always the next strike that will break the protoss front. | ||

That's why it's so difficult to keep up with his thoughts. Whether that is his intention or not, it makes him troll-like and just distracts the thread further and further. People can agree or disagree with me but I presented well articulated thoughts about the games in the finals and semifinals. It's the shitposts from the Zerg fans like mtcn, eon and sziky that downgrades the thread quality. | ||
