I was pretty tired during the whole ordeal so i dont remember everything, but I think the finals were really fun (as a fan of both). it was, well, sOs doing sOs things. | ||

and then byun stopped doing fast expand builds and sos was like wellll i guess i have to all-in i don't see the way sos played inspiring protoss to play like that and continue winning like that on this patch. i see that series as terrans thinking "i could have won these macro games if i were in byun's position" and byun probably kicking himself sos has a way of playing the player so his games dont feel like they're good microcosms of the matchup at that moment. he figures out how to win a particular series, one series at a time | ||

He does builds and plays no one else can pull off or dares to pull off. His impressive Bo7 finals record shows that's he no fluke. He makes calculated gambles which usually pay off. His diversity in 'cheese' plays (economic or one-base all-in) shows that's he no one-trick pony. Only one with a deep understanding of the game can pull out so many tricks from his bag. And he's a joy to watch. Like a poker player with big balls. Like a skilful footballer with a quick feet. He never fails to entertain, whether he's winning or losing. | ||

Other players like Maru, Life and Parting may have some sexy micro play, but their games can be rather predictable and one-dimensional after a while (like watching Marvel movies). Rogue has a bags of tricks too, but his plays still have a gimmicky feel and not good enough to beat top players at the highest level. Classic comes a distant second - he can be cheesy as hell, but also capable to macro up and play solid. (And for BW right now, Bisu is the most entertaining.) Maybe it's just a Protoss bullshit thing  | ||
