I don't know who to root for in Rain vs JD, I'll be happy no matter who wins but I guess I'll predict Rain 4 - 3 Jaedong. | ||

I combed through it a bit and did spot some blaring errors. I'm not sure if I did catch them all though. My use of commas can be a bit shaky. | ||

 Best vs Rain, Best made the Critical mistake in PvP of letting a Probe get into his base, this lead to a full scout from Rain that after confirming that Best went for Robo 1st made the correct call of going to take his ramp, if this Probe didnt get into Best's base, this series would have went to game 5, 100%. Also in the same game, Best could have easily won if he didnt lose his shuttle + reaver for no reason (he didn't unload his Shuttle) he was in a super strong position with reavers + goon defending an all in attack, but his nerves betrayed him.After this huge blunder in game 1 Best lost his cool, and keept making silly micro mistakes game after game.Also game 2 was super unlucky for Best literally a 1 hp DT got into his main and from that point the game was unwinnable (had later Nexus, was mining of 1 base, and killed his own probes trying to storm the dt). This kind of risky play (diving 2 dts into 2 cannons "whatifigetlucky" move) is what makes champions when skill is too close between players. When Rain said in the post game interview that he got extremely lucky this series, he wasnt lying or being modest.Best of luck to Rain i really want to see him win this tournament vs 3 of the strongest players in the world, even tho i wanted Best to win, i think Rain is a better protoss candidate because his PvZ is phenomenal compared to Best's. | ||

I really like the format of these posts, they are fun to read. | ||

My heart roots for JD, but I predict a clean 4-1 win from rain. He will push out at just as he has 3-4 hts and together with the zealot/dragoon/corsair ball - he will crush jd's hydra/ling + mutalisk army w/ minimal lurker support. JD will probably win skne game from his aggressive style. As for Last vs Soulkey, I hope last mixes things up with mech transition play with valkeries or something. If not, I for see a 4-2 in favour of soulkey. | ||

A TvZ finals between these two would be sweet and whoever wins will have finally taken a finals win in the post-kespa era. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1vZ4nSuf67c When Soulkey played Rain in the ASL4 group stages it just looked like Rain was a nervous wreck and fell apart. He kept making sloppy micro mistakes all that game. But maybe he was out of shape then? A rematch would be epic. | ||

It's not as big a scene for dollars or viewers as some other esports but the effort put in by the writers on this site is still fantastic | ||
