I would figure that coaches build around the players' schedules, and Best was probably like "Yeah go ahead and put me in, I can play PL first then head over to Gom."

They probably have a say in whether or not they can play in an Ace match.
Best's timings looked really impressive. His style looks a lot like how Nony plays. Those super aggressive reaver pushes are a really exciting timing.
I didn't like Effort's choice of build in game 2. I felt like Best just hit the timing really, really well in game 3.

sKyHigh, along with movie and effort is the new 3 race generation replacing Iris/Much/Savior that will take CJ to the top again.

Or maybe it was like that:
Coach aproaching Best in practice house before making the lineup:
"Hey Best, what are you doing?"
"I'm going to pracitce for GOM for all week."
"Good, just don't forget to practice for PL too."
"What?? You are sending me to play in PL? Are you out of your mind??"
"Who the hell you think you are talking to? I was willing to send you on first round so you have more time before GOM, but hell no, you are going for the last map!"
"BUT - "
"Shut up or you are going to sleep without dinner!"
Then the day D came and Best was going against Free. Seriously pissed he decided to lost that game on purpose, just to anger his coach. After that, he was walking away smiling inside, but his coach stoped him shouting:
"Where the hell you think you are going?!"
"I have the GO -"
"You have nothing! Get your ass back over there and this time better win, or you would be cleaning all our closets instead of Hyuk for a month!"
And that's the story behind the great performance Best displayed against Zero in his weakest match-up...

It's too bad about EffOrt, I was really pulling for him to go far in this tourny. He played some great games, but Best seems to have improved his PvZ.
Either way, it was a good learning experience. The kids got talent, thats for sure. After working out a few kinks in his game play I can see him coming back in dominating fashion.
I was particularly impressed by his play in Game 2. His use of burrow to save drones was awesome, it's really something you don't see enough of nowadays. And I was really impressed by his Hydra control, he performed some great snipes and his storm dodging in particular was amazing.
Oh well. I wouldn't mind a BeSt win at any rate. The guy is clearly worlds above 90% of his competition (IMO) and I think he deserves a title. How can you be impressed by his play in game 2? He carelessly lost more than 10 drones to a single dark templar.
I suppose I didn't word that correctly. I was trying to mention how I felt he had some good tricks up his sleeve and performed some clever maneuvers. He didn't roll over and die or 1a2a3a all his shit. His choice of build and the DT fiasco was obviously less than stellar. I guess I should have said "I saw some nice tricks in G2. Drones dieing to DTs r bad."

I don't really think medusa is that bad ZvP. It's definantly 1000% better than byzantium. I have no fucking clue why effort went 2-hatch muta :\
I've NEVER EVER seen it work zvp
