Quickest Recap Ever time! by.Hero won a landslide victory in his worst match up. That is no surprise when getting to the finals is the kryptonite for Mind. On the other side of the bracket, sSak blessed us with a solid showing of why he is a master of TvT when he's not playing Sea. All in all, the semifinal falls short in showing us the spread of talent in this tournament, but fear not as this is one of the best finals scenarios we could ask for. I'm also confident we will continue to see Mong and Mind place high in future tournaments regardless of their hard defeats.

Ssak mong game 4 was pretty good.
Sbenu All-Stars Tournament Finals PreviewFriday, Jul 11 12:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) by.hero vs  sSak
By.hero finds himself in yet another finals. While it had been several months for by.hero, sSak hasn’t had a chance at gold since August 2013. In fact, between these two players, 9 medals have been won in the Sonic era, yet neither of them have earned gold. Do you understand what that means? We have a…
Battle of the Kongs!
So who will remain kong? While the kong thread created recently shows Yellow enjoying his kongtivity, I’m confident both players want to live more like the Emperor. By.hero has a losing percentage against Terran players. While he’s solved ZvP and has a handle on ZvZ, by.hero is heavily at risk of losing this series based on statistics. However, in the rarest occasions, sSak is also entering the finals with his worst matchup TvZ and a slightly above 50% winrate.
When I think about this matchup I think about Fantasy vs Calm. In this matchup, the players are either horrifying to watch or the greatest TvZ’s you’ve ever seen. So let’s do a side by side comparison.
This is clear evidence that the sSak vs by.hero rivalry is a reincarnation of the kespa era Fantasy vs Calm matchup. With the evidence laid out and the facts being told. My heart says by.hero will win this, but I have been 100% accurate with my predictions this tournament and therefore will stick to statistics.
In case you don’t like my prediction, here’s some comforting staff predictions!
Endy: hero 3-1
2Pacalypse-: hero 3-2

Ignoring my sSak fandom, I would still have to put him as the clear favorite vs hero. Should be an entertaining series anyway. Ssak's TvZ is awesome to watch. 
As with the rest of the tournament, sSak wins 3-1.

I originally had 3-1, I really went against instincts on this one. sSak is really good, but hero is on fire too.

If hero wins this, would you put him as the best zerg currently over Killer and Modesty?

I would say this tournament weighs heavier then LoveTV, however killer had to play SBA right after winning LoveTV which I think cost him. It's very close. If he wins convincingly then yes.
