Shuttle is the best PvZ player right now and with such epic style!
The dirty cheesy zerg got right what he deserved. Such clean play i havent seen in long time from no other protoss player. That dude has real protoss blood in his veins, His play is so spirited, reminds me of Jangbi a bit. Thats how a protoss should look like, smashing zerg army emanating strong warrior spirit.

Not the most surprising result, but I really did want to see more of Action. His playstyle can be reminiscent of Shine, but so far, he seems to make it work. Sad about game 4 since showing that hydra accidentally was a mistake that cost him. As for game 5, it looks like Action forgoes solid defense, aka he had no sunkens, not even a single one at any of his bases. 2-3 sunkens do a great job of scaring away a protoss lol, but I'm sure he preferred to have units that he can micro. Still, it feels like if he scouted the gates, he would've known it was coming then he would've canceled fourth and gotten some defense.

Regardless, well played by Shuttle. He was the deserving player here.

Shuttle has always been a beast at pvz and has godly storms. I didn't expect such a close series from action, no matter how good he's been lately.

Man, being a Shuttle fan must be very tough. On some days like today he delivers and sometimes (like in his games with JD in KSL) he is just mediocre.

I anticipated that this series would be very interesting and both players did not disappoint! I am almost sad for Action, he did great. But then again, zergs should lose whenever possible, even when they're cool :D

Shuttle's timing push in G5 was clinical; really well executed. Surprised Action got as greedy as he did in response - he made not just one, but two extraneous rounds of drones when he should have been pumping mutas for templar-sniping and sunkening / simcitying his bases.

On a meta level, Sylphid's closed mid makes a 2-base zeal/arch/temp push really difficult to fight. Action should have anticipated something like this. Instead it looks like his game sense was off.

Very well done by Shuttle. Looking forward to Flash vs Mini and the Ro4!

Action looked very weak today. The only games won was a lucky 9pool vs 12 next and shit-o-bahn. In the games he lost, it was a very bad execution and decision making.

i was surprised at action's mindset going into this series. he would've beaten shuttle in straight up games for sure but he felt way too confident in his cheese strats working out for him.
lesson learned the hard way.

with action out, i think effort vs flash is the only worthy finals. anything else will be a huge disappointment draw wise.

I think last flash is the more most likely finals and 2 best players ,followed closely by effort flash. I know action was everyone’s golden pony boy for the last week but he’s really still only a b+ tier pro with a lot of shortcomings so don’t be too mad that he lost

Am I the only one who thinks that Action did not accidentally reveal the hydra? His plan was to use the proxy hatch to make just 3-4 hydras to scare Shuttle into making mass cannons while he continued to drone at home which he did and take his mineral base. If Action was going for a bust he wouldn't have that many drones at his nat. Shuttle eventually figured that out and even canceled one of his cannons. Action was actually doing ok until he lost like 9 drones to a DT.

Well, I mean it's possible that that's what he had in mind. We'd never know until he personally talks about the games. I personally think he should've just went for 3 hatch hydra bust. Shuttle never scouted it, and had a single cannon+2 zealots at home. 99% chance that he'd win the game imo since Shuttle only started adding cannons when he saw the hydra otherwise it didn't look like he was going to. It's too bad seeing as Action had some cool strats this ASL, but he keeps going up. Hopefully, the semifinals next time!

I wish they'd make lair a requirement for hydra speed and range to be available, that way it'll make hydra busts less abusable in ZvP. I dont know why but in the old days hydra bust was an all or nothing strategy, and usually resulted in zerg losing if it didn't kill the protoss, but now we have games where they more or less equalize 50-50 if protoss defends it, so zerg doesn't take any risk if it fails but can outright win the game if it works. Anyone can tell me why this is the case now adays where zerg can easily transition into mid to late game without much disadvantage? Before you can see that zerg drone counts were lower and for them to get back up in macro and economy they have to make several rounds of drones making their army weaker momentarily until they get their eco back up and that's when protoss can exploit and usually kill them. But now it seems there's no timing window for that and zerg somehow has the economy or the protoss's economy was stunted so much by the attempted hydra bust that it just sets them too far back that zerg can just come back in the game.


Or they can at the very least make the upgrades take longer. There's too short of a timing window for protoss to be able to scout them in time when speedlings deny probe and zealot scouting.

I didn't see anything in this series that made it look like Action had an advantage in late game tbh.

I thought that Action figured Shuttle had read him when he saw all those larva building nothing in the main. That cancelled cannon was actually a forge that Shuttle wanted to place in another location.

But then why would he proxy the hatchery? He's guaranteed to lose the hatch if he doesn't immediately end the game. There's no way you wouldn't take your own mineral only or the 3 o'clock base instead if you were planning on going to mid-game. Also Action's overlord could see everything, including the fact that Shuttle only had 1 cannon, and was wide open for the bust. Even if he wanted to just make 4 hydras, if he had waited and gone in with them together, they would have taken out the cannon and caused a lot more trouble for shuttle, combined with the lings. I can't see how the hydra reveal wasn't a mistake.

Have to admit that Shuttle has probably the best pvz currently. Action seemed like the lesser player the whole series. Glad Shuttle goes forward and hopping for a pvt semi. GGs

Both dont make sense to me. Like you said, proxying it there meant it likely wasnt a fake. But why even move the hydra to the front of Shuttle’s base at all if you dont plan on showing it. Even a random probe or zealot moving out could reveal your hydra. Just leave it at the proxy hatch until you have the amount you need.
Action was my pick for dark horse but I agree he was the lesser player this series. GG

I think it was a move to show Shuttle that there is indeed a proxy hatch and he should build a billion cannons. Action didn't even build any hydras in his main or nat. I think if he was serious about the hydra all-in in the beginning he would have at least build a few hydras there.
