The extractor game hooked me and I was riveted for the rest of the broadcast.

Ret's survival with an extractor... ridiculous... it was game one of the series and in my opinion set a tone for the whole series that even if castro played extremely well and maybe even better than Ret, the Netherland beast could still win... he had 47 minerals, 135 gas, 10 supply, and one building... and won... are you kidding me?

The extractor survival was certainly stunning, but I feel like Ra breaking the contain was more exciting- it showed some really brilliant army micro and had the added tension of happening in game 5 instead of the very start of the set.

overall JF impressed me the most so i voted for him
the extractor survival was pretty cool but zvzs sometimes (rather rarely but still) end like that, definitely not as if i haven't seen a game like that
also i have to admit terran's play on outsider was just marvellous.. but still jf's overall skill was too high to not vote for him
sen's and whitera's stuff was pretty good but i feel like it was mostly because of opponent's mistakes
and mondi didn't impress me nearly as much as the other things did

Terran's defence on Outsider. I would've called a JF win 10/10 if I had seen the first couple of minutes of that game.

I really liked mondi's hidden expo behind bratok's nat on destination. He got loads of value through mining and lurk harass before it was destroyed, and the really special thing about it is that it's probably a one-time gem; I really doubt anyone is going to be able to get away with it for a loooong time.

a creative build is less exciting than constant action with an unbelievable comeback. plus the poise to send out the first vulture to end the game instead of clean up his base? that's poise.

GosI[Terran] deflected dirty Protoss cheese 3 games in a row and managed to win one and survive to late game in the other two. That took some serious skill under pressure. Sick play all around in the Ro16 though.

If he targetted the depots instead of the fac/refinery it would have been GG. Terran would be supply capped so wouldn't be able to build a vulture.

Definitely Ret's extractor. I had it set in my mind that Castro won the game, that I got confused for a second watching game 2 when the score said 1 - 0 for Ret. I had an "Oh yeah, that's right!" moment.

I voted for ret's extractor, that game was the most exiting ZvZ I have ever seen. White-Ra's game 5 breakout came as a close second. I love White-Ra, and I was literally shaking with excitement as the game begun, and more so when Ra got contained. When he was breaking out I was pretty much shouting with my hands raised. Good times.

ret's extractor survivor happened because he played poorly. the game was over at that point anyways. gositerran's proxy defense was a level you rarely see at any level of play. absolutely astounding. and im not just saying that because he is my illegitimate child.

I wonder am I missing the point or half the voters!? Doesn't best "play" refer to best move(s)? Ret's game was awesome but what kind of move is it to luckily survive with one building?
I'd go with Mondi's hidden expo or infested cc. Both was entertaining!

Depends how you view best. Some people view it as most skillful, some view it as most entertaining, some want to see perfect execution of a non-standard build, some want to see a macrobot, etc. "Best" is vague and therefore people interpret it differently.

Ret did not play good in that game, he just got superlucky that Castro did not spend his money on a spore.

gosiTerrans play was just outstanding. Not only was it highskilled as hell, the game was super exciting seeing as it was really close.

So gosiTerran for me. Then I think Monids use of defilers in all his games was just sick to see.

How is GosI's defense at # 3?

JF came up with a solid strategy that was almost a sure win in any circumstance and GosI hang on.

Ret's extractor was cute, but he had air control. CastrO didn't.

EDIT: Fenix should get the underdog award for beating Kolll.

It was definitely the most exciting situation, but it sure as hell wasn't the best play.

I think all the casters predicted that Gosi was going to lose Game 3 and that JF was going to walk away with a 3-0, so I'll go with that one Besides which, JF's mind games in that game were perfect up to the point he decided not to kill the depots - he even mind gamed Gosi into building an extractor. For Gosi to survive the initial rush and to force JF into making that mistake, that was already impressive. Yes, JF made a blunder later on - but how many players in Gosi's position would've just GG'd when they saw the zealots, especially given that he was already down 0-2?

I realize that Gosi was a bit overhyped before the match, but the kid's got real potential.

No doubt GosITerran's defense. The Ret extractor game was very cool, but it wasn't a "genius" play by Ret, he had air control and was pretty smart with how he used the mutalisks but I didn't see any skill that was beyond amazing. Air units > ground units that can't attack air, sure he had to avoid a few scourge and such, but that isn't super amazing.

GosITerran, on the other hand, well that was just unreal. Gets a perfect surround on the first zealot, then prevents two zealots at once from attacking his SCV building the bunker while they come from different sides, completes the factory being attacked by 3+ zealots, sends the first vulture to the main despite zealots still in his base. So many great decisions and some absolutely brilliant, brilliant micro.

Like many others have said...

The Ret game was cute... but chances are most people who did not vote for the gosl[terran] game did not even see it. It was a game where he beat many odds and defended something that very few players could do.

This is true. Either that or they clicked without thinking.

I can't believe he pulled that off it was simply incredible. So many Zealots streaming into the base when he has practically nothing.

Yes, this mistake is what did JF in.

As Artosis said before, the only reason ret found himself in that situation is because he played poorly in the first game.

gosi[terran]'s proxy defense was sick

i can see how artosis gets hyped about him. but it's a long and difficult road to make all parts of your game as good as the best parts of your game. judging from the other games in the series, gosi[terran] has some big holes to patch up.

Extractor, definitely.
Always highlights to me how crucial it is to just have that little bit over your opponent in ZvZ...
Though everything was pretty awesome. (Darn I wish the Hero hydra would've been on here haha)

there was nothing special in rets game. zvz can get that close very often.
gosi[terran]'s proxy was by far the most impressive play.
my vote for that

All I can say is:

I have never seen a Zerg player playing like mondi vs mech in his series vs brat_OK
Maybe brat_OK underperformed and maybe mondis strategy wouldnt have worked vs idra or fenix but in this particular game.. it was juuuust stunning

NonY's match was the first Bo5 of the TSL I couldn't down all 5 of my beers before the end.
I bet nobody else manages that for the remainder of the tournament.

I voted Ret's extractor, but now i think that Terran's defense was even more exciting. I think that JF should have taken out supply depot/s that were not defended at all.

TO [best]alive: I don't think Fenix was such an udnerdog in the match, he actually had pretty good chance as he showed. Before the match i was thinking like 40-60. Also think that Kolll is highly overrated right now. Yes he is very good and has potential, but you can't really put guy (FENIX) that is on the scene for quite a long time as an underdog against Kolll. Yes Kolll is good at copying BOs and has good control, but that is not everything you need. He still simply doesn't have enough experience.
Brood War is the best RTS that has ever been created.

Ret's no-hatch build was epic. GosI[Terran]'s proxy was nice...but he's got too many issues with the rest of his game

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Fenix is one of those players who could win on any given sunday. The vast majority thought Kolll would go through. Just because he didn't doesn't make him overrated. The kid made it to the round of 16 for a reason. He played bad that day; Fenix played better. In other words, we agree. It boils down to experience. Something I also said before. I will leave it at that.

That brings us to the round of 8: IdrA, Nony, JF, White-Ra, Fenix, ret, Sen and Mondi. All of these guys have proven themselves before and it should come as no surprise if any one of them moves forward.

Defending an IN BASE proxy after going gas first and having the wrong placement is unheard of. It's like what JD did to Lucifer on colosseum.

I voted mondi, we just don't see CC that often so i guess it was worth it.
But as many people keep saying, Terran defense, was indeed pretty sick, so if we must choose the BEST move, i guess that would be it.

as for me, as a Zerg player, who doesn't really get TvP that well, ret's extractor win ;P. That proxy defence, well, both of the players seemed to play very calm, and were very confident in their actions, and when the vulture came out + bunker was done with rines inside it, the game just ran away from JF.

I really think JF could have utilized his zealots better or make a quickier follow-up into fast goons or forge->cannons rush. GosI[Terran]'s control that game was amazing though.

Voted for Mondragons plague + infested cc, because I really think he really makes the most important decisions perfectly. Moreover I believe he is the smartest player out there, can only be matched by the Korean elite in thinking - core decision making.
Even what Cloud/Day[9] commented about his mineral macro spending - I believe it's somewhat on purpose since lings aren't really that good even in high numbers against a good controlled terran army and gas amount will slowly continue to grow even after minerals are mined out. Where in the game vs mech on destination his spending was perfect because he was building hydralisks.

Extractor is something not unusual in ZvZ, but a hidden expo to harrass... that's something new, at least for me.
