Pavel is really good. His 70%+ winrate in the tournaments says something. Yes he had some luck on his side, but he played flawlessly, didn't misplay, didn't tilt, didn't worry that much, played really smart. I was really impressed with that Gorehowl hit on Medivh, to put it to 2 health, then I realised he played around Geddon, he knew exactly what was in Hippies hand. The only thing I didn't like about his play is he sometimes played too fast, and when you play too fast you give information about your cards, but I'm noone to tell him about that, in the end it doesn't matter anymore.
Agreed, very impressive. And when he played too fast he actually make opponent nervous, JasonZhou probably did that stupid VanCleef misplay and start tilting only because Pavel increased turn pace. Actually when he need to think he take all his time. And what about luck - good player sometimes has to go for luck to get extra win percentage (e.g. playing for victory).
He was also my pick. He got lucky, but the tournament format is not build around that. It's build around entertainment thus the structure of the tournament. If we had 1 big group with 100+ matches this would lower the variance, but also it would lower the entertainment value. And in such format Pavel would surely rank in top 3, so getting lucky doesn't mean he doesn't deserve the title.

Yep, that is the downside of playing fast. The plus however is that you put pressure on your opponent and when he tries to match your tempo he can make mistakes (JasonZhou VanCleef misplay). You can also make misplays (Pavel last year vs Lifecoach). So on theory if both players play optimal (no mistakes, tilt etc) you should wait the same amount of time at every turn to not give information away. But if that is not the case, you can put pressure on your opponent by playing exploitative. These are concepts from poker and there they apply on much stronger level.
