Well, I just watched the finals. I was praying since game 1 for an ace match where REACH gets sent out. Hopefully he would have been practicing for this moment ever since his last televised game and he would emerge gloriously victorious.
Unfortunately that was not the case
Hope Flash recovers mentally soon. This could prove harder than his hand surgery recovery..
felt so bad for flash. you can tell he really wanted to win. one question: would fantasy have been a viable choice against flash on that map? fantasy played very well against him and won in the 2nd set, so I might have sent him out as a "safer" choice. nevertheless it seems like toss is flash's weakness and bisu was a great choice.
oh man flash crying. this one hit him deep. i remember him saying he didnt really care that he lost to effort. this one seems much different.

iirc both were ready to go, but park chose bisu over fantasy because of a fire in bisu's eyes.

interesting point of reference to the ACE match, it's interesting how much both players had evolved their strategy/response from what was essentially the same opening for both games
