Yeah not sure why he didn't kill it off, Hero was able to stream zerglings in again and again
Best was also countered at every attack, his brute force methods didn't pay off like they would in PvT. he had some nice storms but I feel like he's approaching this match up in the wrong way.
While not the best play from Best, hero played very well. He put on earlier pressure, sniped an HT, macroed up quickly and defended the 4 o'clock and 10 o'clock expansions like a boss. He was pouring units into the 10 o'clock all game and winning all the key battles. Good for Fox to use take down arguably SKT's best player with Fox's fifth or sixth best player.

Best is SKT's 3rd or 4th best player, after Bisu, fantasy, and maybe [whichever Zerg is playing well atm]. Still a win for WeMade since hero is their #3 Zerg and their strength is the Terran line, but let's not exaggerate.

in his current form best probably counts as 6th best, behind Bisu, Rain, Fantasy, s2, soo Fantasy is still a factor despite his losing streak just because of his overall solidity.

Best's brute force methods would never work in PvZ late game at all, which is probably why he's so terrible at it. Lurkers, cracklings, and plague basically means your zealots die in a matter of seconds. Because Best macros so well, he doesn't bleed out like other protoss players who can linger for a few fights even without any mining bases.
