hero has not been online on Fish nor streaming for almost a week...Rush (with his tons of TvZ practice with EffOrt) could easily upset hero if hes became rusty

EffOrt should narrowly win over Last

Pretty intense first game, both players slugging it out.
EffOrt finally takes it.

Final set a little anti-climactic.
Would have liked to see both players move up.
But EffOrt edged by with a solid final game.

Thanks for all the updates, insane couple of sets with EffOrt and Last. See it frequently during sponsored matches, nice to see it in league action!

Terran-galore, just like SSL10. Looks like EffOrt is the only hope left

Oopsies! I've been adding the player names to make it easier to identify the thread and to spotlight the players involved. They're already in the calendar, but that disappears after the event. I'll be careful next time

EffOrt had me worried for a while there. Last brought some good stuff to the table, but overall EffOrt felt a little sloppier than I'm used to seeing.

Still, he made it through and has some time to get it cleaned up before his next foe. Hoping he can make it two in a row.
EffOrt and Soulkey Hwaiting!

I think Last is a far better player than many give him credit. He played EffOrt to a pretty even (and quite intense) first match on Circuit Breaker, and then took the second game rather easily. The third game was simple craziness for both sides.
Last's gameplan for the fourth set was especially significant, in my opinion.
Teching straight to starport and gaining air control momentarily, Last grabs two overlords and obliges the rest to cower in the base, while EffOrt is pressured to get a few hydras. Last goes out for a seeming rush attack, forcing sunkens at both the natural and mineral-only. But he evades both fronts and simply elevators his army into the zerg main, taking it out with ease.
I do think that both of them showed sloppy play at times. For instance, in the fourth game, Last lost his entire bio force, plus a tank and a vessel to a bunch of lurkers and scourge. Although I think that might have been a decent tradeoff, annihilating pretty much EffOrt's entire army in the process. EffOrt did play rather clumsily near the end of the game when his army got turned to mincemeat outside Last's base.
Anyway, I surmise that my expectation for a more intense tiebreaker (and game-winner) was the reason for my disappointment for what (I felt) was a rather anti-climactic final game, at least from the point-of-view from Last. From the opposite perspective, EffOrt demonstrated a more solid performance in that final set.
In either case, I didn't think that these two would have given us a lackluster series.

^^Good analysis.

Just re-watched Effort/Last game 4 and Last's early wraiths effectively forced the Zerg to go hydra instead of muta. This forced Effort to cede map control and worker harassment, preventing him from stalling for tech and macro.

sSak and Rush both also often use such early wraith or vulture strategies to force the same, with varying results, but it's nice to see Terran players disrupting traditional ZvT play.

Very much agree that Last has ascended to the top or, at least, second tier, of TvZers, particularly on the traditional FS/CB maps. His seamless transition to mech play mid-game after bio pushes/drops very much reminds me of Mind and Sea

Yea, the series overall was entertaining. From a pure entertainment standpoint, G1 and G4 were excellent, though G4 ended with a wimper.

I guess I don't have a feel for the vibe on how people view Last, but I think he is close to, if not in, the top echelon of terrans in SOSPA currently. Top 5, probably top 3.

I enjoyed the series quite a bit overall, you highlighted some of the key points, but in general watching these two awesome guys go at it there were so many moments where I was thinking "this guy is so fuckin clever, I LOVE this!".
EffOrt and Soulkey Hwaiting!

Last was unfortunate to hit EffOrt in ro8, he could have gone on to the ro4 or even finals if he had only other terrans or a OSL-cursed hero to face. He showed good preparation and overall high level play but EffOrt is simply the best Zerg atm.
