If Protoss wins, i fee like BeSt is playing the best brood war of his life, and handles the pressure a bit better. If Terran wins, i will be very surprised, so im going to go with an upset in Speed. | ||

If it's not him, then one of the Terrans. Could be any of them. Light is of course the best of the bunch, but idk why he's become a choker in ASL now. Protoss are having a tough time recently. Even Snow falling off a cliff, losing to the likes of Barracks and Royal regularly. Doubt any of them even makes top 4. | ||

So weird seeing Queen as one of the options considering he's performed terribly most of this year. Currently sitting at rank 28 of eloboard with 1185 points, and 44% win rate. And talking about ranks, Hero is at rank 29, action 22, and Jaedong 14. The Zerg roster has been performing awfully bad for the last several months, except for Soulkey, who seems to compensate for the whole race. Edit: Ok, maybe it's an exaggeration to say Hero has performed awfully. He's performed decently, but is having a slump. | ||

- terrible map pool for zergs + every zerg that isn't SK is slumping - all protoss are chokers except for rain when he tries (he isn't trying right now) or mini when he's on fire (mini doesn't seem to be on fire right now) - sharp is playing really good right now so my money on him gun to my head | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Okay TMNT, we saw Mini make 60 probes. He won. He looked good at it, pulling off some clutch micro with shuttle reaver in the style innovated by Snow. Blindly mine rushing against Nexus first was a poor strategic call, the economic lead was huge, and ssak never threatened any expos. Mini looked very solid in his unchallenged execution of expanding when forced to by extremely passive play from the T. I hereby admit I was wrong. Mini is technically capable of building more than 60 probes in PvT. But in my defense, ssak was so far behind in the early game that it's hard to feel as confident in Mini's ability to macro like that as compared to, say, Bisu. Admittedly, his shuttle reaver control was very good in his match against ssak. | ||

Didn't think you meant it in a literal sense. If that's the case, you probably got that impression from watching a selective collection of his games in the ASL. He's more than capable of playing super late game and has done so plenty of times. It's just he likes to deliver the killing blow (or self implode) quicker than other Protoss players, so you don't often find lengthy games from Mini as the others. Maybe I can find some examples for you. | ||

He is a high risk high reward player because he limit tests as often as is humanly possibly, as long as there is a plausible reason to limit test. Why wait for an opportunity later on in the game when there is one right now? Mini takes the risks when he believes he can. He can definitely play long games very very well. This style can make his late game look bad sometimes because this style can backfire at times. | ||

Larva was practicing a all-out full-on amount, even surpassing Bisu at ZvP in the very lategame. Mini still got 3 games off Larva but the game he lost was the game he didn't plan to lose, and it was a lapse of his limit-testing style so described. Double Robo 2 base all-in. By the time he was at set 7, he was demoralized and hopeless - knowing he had no chance against Larva on FS. It was a super close series until that specific game, though. I believe it was set 5. | ||

If you count the last 18 seasons (17 ASL seasons and there was 1 tournament that effOrt won against Bisu, before ASL 1). So, Terran has been ranked 1st 8 times, Zerg 7 times, and Protoss only 3 times. So I want someone from Protoss to win this season. SnOw has been to the finals 2 times, but never won. Bisu - 1 time, Best, Stork have not been to the finals. So I want someone from those 4 to win the current ASL. The Protoss have not won the ASL in the last 5 seasons. The last win in ASL 12 went to Mini. | ||
