Thanks for the translation.

I would like to mention, that Sun outmicroed the shit out of Horange2, so i do not get why he's getting bashed ((.
And Best managed Effort's expansions quite well, imo.

Sun dude with 3-6 this season says he will win no matter who he plays against KT that got Stats and Flash makes so much sense as Crazy Hydra saying he can beat anyone in SKT to me but whatever , at least he really spiced that match up for me so good job with this !
Also i dont get why Soo wants to play zerg, i thought hes bad in zvz ?
And Best - such a monster in PvZ i doubt Action will be real challenge ...
Looking forward to this match and hope that KT goes heavy on T and P against SKT this time

CJ played really retardedly that game imo. Effort threw it all away when he continued with the hydras after having won the first big engagement - very frustrating to watch. Horang2 microed really really badly during his 3-gate push. And I don't understand why Movie didn't add one more canon when he saw all the hydras well in advance. Only one more canon would have saved him I think.

It looked like CJ didn't want to win.

bisu will dw

I think Bisu is the least likely of the big names to beat Flash. Stork has better PvT and still got beat up pretty bad :T

I'm thinking it's gonna have to be a TvT where Flash loses.

Um... No?

KT zergs have a 0% win rate against SKT this season. Going back further, in the last 5 KT vs. SKT matches, KT zergs have won only 2 out of 13 games.

I've nothing to say about Horang2, he microed terribly.

But movie didn't saw the cannons nearly early enough. None of his building cannons managed to warped in on time (they started to finish warping in AFTER the Hydras broke the choke + the Reaver. What he could have done was pulling probe to shield for his Reaver earlier, but even that might or might not have helped, and i'm inclined to think it's the latter.

Effort was never really in a position to switch his army composition after his "win", as BeSt was constantly massing army, threatening to roll over Effort with the P ball should he let up on army production at all. Let's look at EffOrt's options:

- Hive: Takes forever to tech to. BeSt would have beaten him before any meaningful Hive upgrades kicked in. (He did win the next engagement despite EffOrt spending all his resources on his army, that would have happened even earlier and more surely had EffOrt decided to tech to Hive).

- Lurk/Ling composition: BeSt was fairly Goon heavy. And it wouldn't make sense for EffOrt to switch to Lurker given the situation (BeSt later doesn't build as much Goons anymore, but EffOrt doesn't possess clairvoyance). EffOrt's gameplan also revolved around Hydras, which leave his Lings completely unupgraded.. It would take quite a while to upgrade his lings (speed + weap/armor), and Lings themselves don't really fair better vs BeSt composition (Toss Gateway army), esp when there's no crack.

- Mutalisk: EffOrt's third is a mineral-only, so he's short on Gas (being on only 3 Gas).. He can't liberally pump Muta (that control grp of Muta probably drained most of his Gas already), else he ll have to resort to spending the rest of his Larvae on Lings, which isn't the best choice given his situation back then.

All in all, i think that EffOrt planned to end the game early, taking the in-base third so that he doesn't have to spend resources defending that third (usually at another main's Natural), and channeling that resources into army instead. When he failed to deal dmg/capitalise on this early advantage, i think he was on the backfoot.. Brilliant storm dodging for a good part of the game couldn't save him, since BeSt too played pretty well.
Look. Only Forward. See. Only Victory.

Yeah I agree with this. It was terrible to watch. I feel sorry for leta, he had such a great game and couldn't talk about it in an interview.
