Was gonna wait until the records were posted to make any comments but couldn't want any more, really wanted to discuss these games.
What did everyone think about the performance of both teams? I was a bit disappointed with SY overall and I think their decision to go with Lyx over dogao is an overreaction to the result against VNS. Lyx is obviously a very good player but on non-arabia maps he just doesn't seem to be as top class as dogao or the other SY members.
Having said that it was really impressive how SY handled the pressure when down 3-2 and still managed to win. Can only imagine all the thoughts running through their head about not even reaching top 8 when everyone was expecting them to be at their own LAN facing Tyrant.
Lastly I was thinking last night about where Nabs ranks in terms of the top teams in AoC... have to think they're 4th best now after Tyrant, VNS, SY.. yet they haven't been able to finish top 4 in any recent TG tournaments due to bad matchups/draws and such. Gotta be frustrating for them given how much time they've put into practicing together and how they always seem to come really close to taking the next step.
Thanks to both teams and the casters for a really enjoyable series. Look forward to hearing anyone else's thoughts/opinions on the series.
