July's micro with guardians is more than "moving them". I mean if he was actually microing them, he would have splitted them before hand.

I'm not pointing it at being something TERRIBLY BAD. I'm just saying that people said like July had best micro, macro, game sense, game plan, mind to win the games, more everything. If I said july's drone splits early game WERE MIND BLOWING, these people, they would agree with me.

Do you see my point and what im arguing against?


I do see your point, but it's kinda moot since Best didn't storm them dead on and guards aren't clumped that tight.

-PS Okay I just watched it again: July moved his guards forward right as Best stormed, so he kinda missed the guards with the storms.

All I know is July played a near-perfect ZvP game, pulled all the stops against someone who clearly had practiced several strategies and was not completely helpless as the game went on. Best moved out with a huge army before July had ultras, so if not for the guardians it's possible the game might've gone on longer or been closer.

But those guards also didn't just pop in to the game. July planned them by getting the greater spire ahead of time. It turned out to be a great move.

Yawn, why even bring up such a debateable and subjective thing as "easier run" unless you just want to discredit someone? I mean, what else does it come to except "Yeah he won, but he had an easier run so..."

July owned Best, is the OSL champion and winner of the golden mouse, not much else matters.

All that being said i think July's ZvP is WAY stronger than BeSt, no arguing that (like I said a billion times already). Just that overall BeSt seems like a more complete player than July for me.

Fixed.

IMO, currently BeSt can't be more "complete" than July. You said it yourself, July is way stronger ZvP than best and also July overcame an all Z group so his vZ should be at least good enough. So that is 2 out of 3 matchups that July is "good" at. Then lets take BeSt, he defeated T and P on his way to the finals so that is also 2 out of 3 matchups. You can argue that BeSt was able to defeat a Z in Luxury but July also beat two T's (Mind and Frozean) so that cancels that argument out.

So at the very least, currently, July is equal to BeSt in the "completeness" category. But since July won this OSL then he gets +1 and is now better than BeSt.




Are you actually mentioning July beating Frozean as July being good at ZvT? Frozean? Seriously? Did you even know his record or results against zerg?


I didn't say that he was good against T. I just said that even if you argue that Best maybe good vZ due to his win against Luxury then the fact that July also beat two Terrans would cancel it out. If you read my post, I only counted 2 out 3 matchups for each.

I just "fixed" your post since it was clearly just your opinion.

GG.

Btw Nada and Julys biggest strengths have always been their mechanics and being able to execute any strat, and this is why they have no problem competing with the "modern", "technical", "perfect" macro players of today. And they're more experienced now than before when they'd win SLs purely by supreme mechanical play.

Obviously they have great mental abilities as well which are needed to become champions. I dont think Best possess that attribute and its why he'll never become a champion. I expect him to fade away from SLs like Pusan within the next year or two.


Nada and July has it. Now only Reach has to come back and win back to back OSLs and my life is complete. YES IT WILL HAPPEN

Thank you Tushin
Live2Win is awesome. Happy new year scarabi!

Of course it was an opinion, 90% of the things said in the last pages were.

I know. That's why I presented my own opinion saying that your opinion has no basis at least for this OSL.

Does it matter? All this discussion is after the fact; July gets an OSL trophy and a Golden Mouse +cash prizes, and Best gets his cash prizes but no trophy or title. Boohoo... We should all be happy that professional Starcraft has reached the level where there are 2 people worthy of a Golden Mouse. A victory for July is a victory for excellence in Starcraft.

And of course, the 3:0.

haha. i totally called the 3-0. if july hadn't destroyed best's confidence in the first two games....perhaps things would've been different. but the 3rd game just showed the difference b/n him and best. best played really well, but he was destroyed by july. that was one of the best pvz's i've seen in a while. there's no doubt that july deserves his golden mouse

Btw guys jumping in my thing about July having a easier run, read his interview, he confirms it.


Yeah. Even though people are saying that July has an easier bracket, they are not saying that Best should win over July in the final. Luck is a part of tournaments and that makes it unpredictable and exciting.

After the 3:2 against Luxury I honestly would have expected Best to prepare for these types of plays. July knows he can't win the macro game after all. :


why do people say fucking retarded shit like this? as if july's builds are a sign of weakness?

why are you saying shit - july's strats are all-in, the chance of this rush was 33%, he scouted best with his first overlord, saw his tech, that was enough. every attack with drones or other workers involved is All-fucking-IN


No, that's stupid, I'm pretty sure someone already responded to this seeing it's way back on page 39, but it's only all-in if you use ALL of your workers, which he did not do.

Oh man, what's all this bickering gayness? July doesn't deserve the win? Come on, that was the most exciting finals I've ever seen. Best was outplayed, outwitted, and outclass.
the world's a playground. you know that when you're a kid, but somewhere along the way everyone forgets it.
