But in the case of TY, he's put in enough great performances in high-stakes matches over the years that we trust him to play up to his potential in this kind of situation. He might get out-mechaniced or out-strategized, but he's not a player who chokes. The player with quite possibly the most reverse sweeps in big matches against him in Starcraft history isn't a player who chokes? There's a lot of things to be said about TY, but if he really was a player who doesn't choke he'd have won a few more tournaments at this point. Hmm, I never perceived his reverse-sweeps as a particular kind of collapse in his level of play I always felt the drop-off was pretty obvious to see personally. And it's not like those are the only instances in his career that can fall under choking. Another great example would be the GSL final against Maru.
TY also talked extensively about how affected he was by his reverse sweep history in the translated interview on reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/gteqoh/gsl_ty_vs_parting_ro4_tys_review_translation_in/ I think he definitely doesn't feel clutch, or at least it gets to him on some level.
Hoping to see vintage TYvT, when he gets the ball rolling in TvT it's absolutely unparalleled. Even Maru a while back (I think post GSL interview at some point) said about a botched early game attack "I don't know why it doesn't work, every time TY does it, it works."
TY 4-2

When was the last time a GSL had two non-champion finalists? This will be a great finish to a solid season.

Last GSL (Rogue vs Trap), and the one before it (Dark vs Trap)
So 3 out of 3 last GSLs.

Been rooting for TY since 2016. 3rd time's a charm. TY fighting!
Will be happy for Cure if he takes it too--the lad deserves it.

I think he meant someone who never won a tournament before, in which case that would be Gumiho I think?

That sounds really weird since TY quite literally has won a World Championship.
GuMiho vs soO also does not qualify for that metric since soO had already won a KeSPA Cup by then.

You are right that the GuMiho vs soO final (amazing final and a good seasom btw) was the last one that had no premier tournament winner.
Oh oups I read it too fast and missed the "two" (well written "to" but whatever), I thought he was speaking in regard to Cure, silly me.

It seems you posted right before I edited and it turns out we were wrong anyway  . I think we would have to go back to soO vs Classic for no winner...

I was thinking two players who hadn't won a GSL previously. Didn't realize it was the previous two finals lol. Although it's much more interesting seeing the last time two non tournament winners made it to the finals.

+ Show Spoiler +It is very impressive which players TY defeated to win this season.
results spoiled fail
|
+ Show Spoiler +Damn TY bulldozed Cure. It was amazing how he dismantled Dark and defeated PartinG to get here too. Well done TY!
Edit: Apologies for the spoilers!
|
Cure advancing to the finals was a welcome surprise. It is always interesting to see someone reach this stage for the first time.

What's with Terran off-racing? Flash, TY, Maru... Anti-Tesagi movement?
