When you're trying to hit timings that are so thin you couldnt slide a paper through it, when you're in that crunch time to get those guardians out ASAP, you will mess up. Soulkey messed up and he paid for it.

Could it have been a calculated risk that Soulkey took, to not wait for the mutas and morph them, so he could micro elsewhere?

I recommend watching more pro FPVODs/streams. For every "mistake" caught on camera, they had to do 10 things right. Their actions are way faster than I can see.

If you are forgetting the upgrades because you have multiple tasks going on INSIDE your brain at once, i can forgive you forgetting about it. Even if they are really important. But if you have already clicked on the armory and you are looking at the weapon upgrade and you STILL forget about it - can you really be excused? And that is basically what it looks like is happening with those guardians.

There's not much to it really, it's just a mistake by Soulkey and it normally wouldn't be an issue against other Terrans but Flash is Flash.

I think it's a little more complicated than that. Soulkey was far behind from his failed early lings. Gaurdian midgames are touch to pull off as is. It could be Soulkey felt he was all in or close to it and wanted these gaurdians in the fight as soon as possible, not hitting the gas from the side. Further, any damage the cocoon takes while morphing is meaningless when the morph finishes, so marine shots on the cocoons are wasted if they don't finish the kill in time. Marines also have to run into range to get those shots and so run into the stream of zerglings. The morphing gaurdians act as a sort of gamble then.
Morphing gaurdians over the bridges can be nice if it forces marines to get stuck on the choke and glitch out. Morphing them farther back can be nice if it forces marines past the bridges and allows for a surround or run by. All this requires you have a strong sense of exactly where the fight will happen and on what scale.
Overall, there were certainly mistakes, but I think it's harder than simply saying "oh morph em over space 100% of the time."

Thank you for the interesting post. I agree, it does seem like a gamble and not a simple mistake. Now my mind is at peace.

400 apm = 6.5 actions PER SECOND. that is insane to keep up with
yeah but no, alot of THOSE APM IS MINDLESS CLICKING, i expected you to atleast LOOK AT EAPM IN THIS MATTER

If you are referring to me as one of those people you would be definitively off point. I usually always defend progamers from those kinds of demands. But in this case this seemed like too much of an obvious mistake to make. And that is probably, with the help from the posts from phyren and flashimba, i now see that it was not an as obvious mistake, but more of an real time calculated risk. It might have been the wrong risk to take (i dont know), but it was not as simple as just forgetting to put the guardians in a safe position which it looked liked to me initially and which caused my troubled state of mind.

I feel like the insane amount of hours spent in the team houses made the players shaper in a lot of things.
Now I don't follow the scene that closely, I watch every single ASL match but quite little outside of that. Some SSL and some fpvods but not that much.
So, I am not saying that my view is correct or anything, please, feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
But to me, games today feel a bit more chaotic than they used to during the prime kespa-era.
Players don't feel quite as sharp in their build and not quite up to par with their multitasking at times.
But the meta has shifted as well so it is hard to make a 1:1 comparison.
I see a more diverse range of tactics played out, and not only Shines bag of builds, but overall the strategies doesn't feel as static as they did during the end of the kespa era.
Are players not quite as sharp so that broadens the meta a bit or has the meta broadened so that it is harder to stay as sharp?
Or am I just way off base because I haven't watched enough games

According to what Zero said, the players are less sharp because of less practice. On the other hand Hero has stated that he has gained a deeper and holistic understanding of the game.

Strategically the players might be better now but mechanically they were way better during the Kespa era. Nowadays they practice according to their own free time compared to 8-10 hours a day when they were in pro-gaming houses. Even Flash said in an interview somewhere he is more developed strategically but mechanically he was no where near compared to is Kespa days.

He is not particularly wrong. Consider that observer of that series is the one who is going to play Flash next week. How is that relevant in any way? Does observing promatches somehow make him less qualified to play in them? Shine was a pro in that era too btw and he plays FAR better than he did back then. I'm sure Jaedong was observing that match from home, does that make him less of a competitor?
Observing promatches for his daytime job is the simple statement of fact: present BW top tier does not even practice that much. They are sure as hell better strategists now (i mean come on, you did not see defensive matrix on shuttles that often in Kespa days), but mechanics wise it is a different story.

Game 2 and game 3 imho (spoiler: game 2 is only worth it for facecam so if you find a gif, game 3 only). Maybe game 4 if seeing terran get btfod out of the game with 20 ultras is your thing.

in comparison to dropping that game on outsider with 5 operating bases, where the only thing soulkey needed to do was to stop the 1st wave of dropships and he failed amazingly, the mistakes game 1 and 5 on breaker were not even noticeable. However, nothing in this series could even remotely compare to bisu's C- performance yesterday. All of them make lousy mistakes, maybe flash doesnt but all others
