Maybe he's hiding something for free, but I think he might just be struggling with zvp right now going by his ASL ro8 match and this one.

I would recommend not looking at the tourney section (or really going to BW forums) if you don't want to be spoiled. Those matches were played a few days ago. When I don't want to be spoiled I avoid places that could potentially spoil it. | ||

That is 240k a year, just so that you can have a better feeling. More like $2700 a year if you assume 3 ASLs every year and assuming you even manage to make this match, not 240k a year -_- | ||

Unfortunately this is about what you can expect from a consolation match, which is a big part of the reason BW mostly stopped doing them. But I I believe that Soulkey still wanted to win. 1) That's still 900$ 2) Defeating Bisu always increases your reputation 3) A win boosts his confidence for the match vs Free in the SSL where he can still win it all. | ||

Other than shuttles 1st asl win, it never seems protoss ever dominates the scene like the other races have. | ||

I think Shine just allocates his APM differently in comparison to say Soulkey as we saw his micro lacking in large parts of his games vs Flash in the semis. | ||

But that is because he so effectively spent his APM on more important things. His micro in crucial moments where great, but overall it wasn't that good at all. But since his strategy wasn't dependent on good micro in every encounter it worked out perfectly anyway. | ||

He played very aggressive vs Best and the only reason he won (imo) was because Best was doing a bad job blocking the runby's. Maybe he's hiding something for free, but I think he might just be struggling with zvp right now going by his ASL ro8 match and this one right now? It's been like this for a long time since he came back to BW. He's one of the last afreecan zergs to watch if you want to improve your zvp. | ||

Granted, I have a 48 hour rule about spoilers and the semifinals were played 48 hours before this series and the LR thread went up literally as the day began so :/ | ||

There were a few clutch moments where soulkey almost broke through and I thought it was really exciting. Not the greatest games, no, but a lot of tense moments that I still enjoyed. | ||
