SWL final was yesterday, it was both an exciting match and disappointing match at the same time. While I was considered neutral (as in, not supporting either of the team), I was rooting for KT to win. KT dominated much of the SWL rounds 3 and 4. However yesterday’s match was unexpectedly one-sided, as SKT’s s2 pulled off a 3-kill, KT Flash only made 1-kill before falling to Bisu.

Had KT’s coach sent more reliable players (as in not sending a Zerg to fight a Zerg), or calculated/make strategies according to map order, should Flash ever fall early he should still be able to pull off at least 2 kills. KT does have both skilled and experience players, it is not like the whole match is dependent on Flash’s performance. Of course, Flash’s performance yesterday was terrific, absolutely first class, but that was only his reactions to his opponent’s build. Had he not been Flash, he would have dropped the game in the first 5 minutes. But most of the times in team games, strategy > skills.

If KT does not learn and continues thinking of Flash as the final boss, they can continue inheriting the “Kong” line. No problem for me of course.
