It's good to see Byun winning again

You simply just can't play an unperfect Toss match. It's vulnerable to even the slightest mistake, regardless of whether it's deliberate or just unlucky. Terran and Zerg otoh can fuck up the whole time and for some reason end up taking the game.

[@jeffreywarf]

you seriously have to play 10x harder to even get equal as protoss in a match

[@NateBabbel]

Yes this is exactly spot on. Terran and Zerg have all sorts of “get out of jail free cards”

The lower ladders are totally different than the pro level.

!!!Spoiler ahead!!! - Great series, but imho Byun lucked out into the win. If Byun hadnt accidentaly walked into that drawn out Astrea moving army in game 3 , it could have gone any other way, it was very close.

[@lacitorok4393]

Byun’s luck is Astrea’s mistake.

[@firestarter000001]

@@lacitorok4393 Maybe to some extent, but even if most things are determined by skill, there is a small luck factor left in sc2. What would you have Astrea do here to prevent it? Better keep track of enemy army? maybe but its so hard to do it all the time in such a crappy game. Its not like Byun knew where Astreas army was and it was planned, he just stumbled into it, and to his credit, took the chance immediately

Astrea absolutely outplayed Byun this series, mules are just SUCH a get out of jail free card…
