wow tracer, thank you so much for the translation. BeSt gives some good insight into the match...I love:

"Sets 3 and 4 were on maps where Protoss has a chance"

"I went for "ee han timing."" EE HAN TIMING BITCHES

"I want to win against zerg in the finals and prove to everyone that I am not weak in this matchup." WOW that's ballsy

"I will prepare for this as if it was my last chance."

BeSt <3

Epic comeback but I expected better games. There wasn't a single match were both players did well.
It was fun to watch, tense, and whatever you want, but in overall, it was not a great series.
Hwasin vs Jaedong was not as close, but the games were just another level.
Anyway props to BeSt for not collapsing under pressure. Now this OSL is his, as he cannot possibly loose to BackHo (yes, BackHo will beat July...)

Since that zerg could only be July, I don't think it would prove much.

Beat Jaedong in a best of five and then we'll talk buddy.

Solid triple post.

Dear all you haters: Lux is the man after 2-0ing Flash, but then he loses to BeSt and all of a sudden he's worthless? I understand ZvP is his worst matchup, but PvZ is BeSt's worst as well (and by a greater margin).

Even if the game quality wasn't stellar (which I blame on the map pool and Lux's fear of BeSt's late-game) this series still proved that BeSt has the poise required to take out an S-class player in his worst matchup. With July on deck he may have to do it again, but if it's BackHo this OSL is pretty much over.

Just watched games 1-3 and on 4..........Yeah Lux lost it. I know some will say I'm just denying the fact blah blah but Lux lost it wayyyyyyy more than Best won it. The zealot shuttle was pimp, but both games if Lux had just went mutas.........it would've been over -_-

Just now i watched the whole series and i can't fucking believe Luxury lost not that i'm takeing enything from Best and congratz to him for playing until the end and not chokeing but man luxury don't give/lose it away like that man it is painful

. One day you make perfect decisions 2 games and fuck the next 3 . It is really a sad day to be a zerg player/prayer ... a very sad day that comes right after a great victory from the current zerg Overmind - Jaedong .

Lets begin right there :
So after the ever so sexy two games he raped Best lets look at the others . The game on Troy BEST obviously had a build prepared there as he goes one gate tech . Luxury goes for an interesting 9 pool speed build looking to inflict damage on a ever so popular FE build . But look at this BEST doesn't have an FE and he is blocking the ramp with a zealot. This looks like a chance for Luxury to either shut BEST in his main or inflict heavy eco damage or completely annihilate him . Best doesn't have a say in that matter as he has only 1 zealot and 1 goon the rest of his economy is spend on the fast stargate tech versus the power of 1 Hat zergling pumping

.As the awaited battle starts luxury overpowers Best's 1 zeal and goon and they are forced to retreat the key position that could change the flow of the game but with BEST's BUILD NOT DRASTICLY! And now has the chance come to do economy damage shutdown BEST or completely annihilate him . Luxury choosed what was for me the smart decision as he doesn't know what BEST's build is and can't possibly annihilate BEST with the econ disadvantage of the 9 pool speed . He killed the assims locking his zerglings in there to do possible economy damage . The damage wasn't much but the fact that Best will stay on a 1 base 1 gas for a while remains . After that it all went downhill for Luxury that game as BEST's plan came in to action and he started to vessel all his newly made zealots and a reaver outside of his base .Controling the air was a must for both players after the dead of the assims but Luxury didn't capitalize on that as BEST had already the advantage of 2 corsairs not to mention the lack of luxurys tech WTF . Luxury not capitalizeing on Air was for me the game changeing break with BEST's plans right there . Luxury choosed hidra + scourge to counter the ever so popular reaver / shuttle build even not scouted . That was the mistake that changed the game in to BEST's favor a little mistake but so damn important . In my opinion he should have finished it with mutas /scourge because 2 corsairs/1 stargate can't possibly outmacro/kill a 3 hat 2 base muta / scourge pump .After choseing hidras it all went downhill for Luxury as his hidras couldn't do enything vs the army of a 12 zeals and a reaver + shuttle . The game itself was won purely with strategy that could even catch off guard Jaedong .

What pains me the most is not that Luxury lost that game but that he actually thought that he could lose the series . Despite this Luxury seems still strong as ever as the next game starts with a 9 pool speed run by the FE of BEST and in to the helpless main .After seeing how good his runby was i was curtain this series is Luxury and if it was JD i will just end watching right there. Luxury was in a position to end this with was like a huge opportunity to make a huge stress and economy disadvatage the disadvantage itself wasn't much as luxury focused mainly on the nexus and failed to kill it .

All in all the thing that lost luxury the series was mental stress and not capitalizeing on mutas or lurkers for that matter who are both a strong counter to the zeal reaver combo , the mutas are very strong on Hwarango ...

Seeing how this match went i think that BEST has little chances againts July 's aggressive style especialy on this maps , i would be happy to see July takeing his golden mouse either way . And if BackHO pulls an upset he better be upseting the damn final as well ...
