Sad series...

Got to be thankful we saw Flash+Larva+Bisu in top-4 last season, this one's not feeling so exciting.


The best (most consistent in offline events, certainly) Zerg, probably the best protoss if he lives up to what he is capable, a good protoss, and one of Flash or Snow.

That's not bad honestly.



agreed, larva is a fun dude but where are his amazing ASL sample games so we can say "oh what a shame" ?

on the other hand, Hero, Mini and Snow have shown boss games this ASL, Im glad that they got to get through.

No big surprise I have to say. Larva's been doing really mediocre in practice. He'll get 'em next ASL.


he did play very subpar, the second game was such a huge blunder from him. Not his time, maybe his mindset is not that good this days

I was super surprised mini knocked out Larva. But happy as a Protoss. Ro4 is gonna be epic. Small chance that P might knock out Flash.

Larva is good at late game vs terran but his vs Z and vs P isn't that great.

I think it might be worth pointing out that this season he wasn't able to play vT at all. As for the other matchups: He went 2-0 vZ and 0-4 (!!!) vP so his vP (on these maps) is definitely lagging to his vZ (on these maps).

I am honestly very happy both with Mini winning and larva losing, though he hasn't displayed that super irritating tough boy attitude he had last season. Great player, all and all, but he did play subpar and Mini played three excellent games, so even without the bias, it's all well and deserved. And totally unexpected for me, although some of you have pointed out his relatively poor sponmatch win percentage lately.

Dweb usage in game 3 was so delicious, I have to say.

Larva is so overrated. He had absolutely no answer to corsairs. Also, his unit control was mediocre.

I doubt FlaSh can beat both SnOw and Mini given these maps.

These games were typical games where everything goes wrong for one opponent. Kind of lackluster play from Larva to be honest while Mini was playing well because everything worked out. Larva didn't really "do" anything these games. It felt like he was struggling with figuring out what his game plan was in all games. It can't be the first time he got his 3rd hatch pylon blocked on third world... Maybe he had a bad day.

Mini has been really strong lately and he's really fast too. I'd say the best PvT:ers right now are Stork, Snow and Mini.
According to Reach, he is the fastest learner he has ever seen. He start bw only like 2/3 years ago. Infact, his bw history knowledge is so limited, he didn't even know what the map Guillotine was.

I'm used to seeing much tighter unit control from Larva. He knew he was going to be up against 2 stargate corsairs at least once in these games and he just didn't seem to be able to get as much done with his scourge. I'm used to seeing him constantly killing corsairs and observers, not just rolling over passively and trying some lame hydra push. He's a great player, i've seen him perform at that level for quite awhile now, but he doesn't seem to have his usual fire this season.

If Flash beats Snow, he can beat Mini as well as. He already practiced TvP, if Rain passes hero, same thing.
Bisu,Best,Stork,Jangbi and Flash, Fantasy, Leta, Light and Jaedong, Hydra, Zero, Soulkey assemble in ACE now!

Larva was saying that he had no hope on these maps.. He was saying he had no chance at all

Hey maybe the same thing with Hero. If Larva can't beat mini, maybe Rain will beat Hero ))

If Flash beats Snow, Mini, and Rain to win, it would be one of the great feats of his career. Casual fans may not see it that way because these aren't the biggest names, and everyone just assumes Flash will win nowadays. But, TvP on weird maps is so damn hard against crafty PvT abuser types like Snow and Mini.

I honestly think Flash would prefer to play Bisu and Stork to Snow and Mini.
