Great finals match-up and game play. Nice to see strong strategies in conjunction with less common maps like Destination and Neo Medusa + Show Spoiler + Congratulations to Sky for the strong play, despite the many attempts at cheese (attempting proxy gateways or DT rush in 3 of the 5 games!) All relatively short games, with the subtle timing differences (e.g. earlier Reavers) resulting in slim victories. Terrific championship match. Mind really exerted himself in preventing Killer from going macro Zerg with continuous pressure -- game 1 with strong SK Terran, game 4 with several M&M drops and multi-base attacks, game 5 M&M with tanks before Defiler tech. Mind mixed it up in game 6 with early Mech and constant vulture harassment, despite Killer's ~6-7 bases. Mines and vultures really forced Killer to change strategies in going heavy Hydra. Impressive win -- I'll make a note of it in Stratos' recommended SOSPA games thread All in all, terrific tournament, thanks to all involved in translating, reporting, documenting, VODing, etc. this for the community!  | ||

More so on Killer's end than Mind's. On Neo electric circuit, Killer had almost 3 more bases than Mind yet he somehow lost two around the same time due to a double drop+army from Mind. Felt like a bad showing though I chuck it up to Killer having a weak ZvT game. The destination game was impressive by Mind but mech is strong on that map. Loved the stop lurkers on Neo Medusa though. The proxy rax by mind was hilarious as well lol. Other than that, enjoyed it but found it odd that Mind stayed on 2 base for most of his games. If this was Flash, he would've taken the whole map while Killer was being passive lol. | ||
