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

Current situation looks bleak for Last.

Those mutalisks are feasting on a completely naked mineral line.
Current situation of the stream looks bleak for me.

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

hero is here also starting his Longzhu stream today hero
|
rush who broke hero 12 win zvt streak in the earlier stage, did it again and take the lead 1-0

What happened to Hero?
PianO finally back to being a 'tomak'?
|
uh no, just saying that piano would rather meet larva than guemchi in the bo3. (and ideally larva should have won on la mancha)
but now piano is 1-0 up over g chizzle

aiur makes the last stand 1-1

They're already in the calendar, but that disappears after the event. I'll be careful next time  Wasn't a problem until I was saving the Ro16 group D for later xD

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.

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.

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!".

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.
