Should be a good challenge for both players. Last is so good against Zerg atm but EffOrt is just a wicked Zerg player. I think EffOrt can take it 3-2 tonight.

hoping for effort but holy shit last has just become sooo good in such a short span of time. :/

It's like something suddenly clicked when he lost 0-3 to mini in the KSL and he came back with a vengeance and has become undoubtedly the 2nd best player after flash. A TvT finals will make me sad.

that being said i think effort stands a decent chance for an upset!

The last effort from both players before the winner will get smashed by flash machine. Hopping for a 3-2 score here.

Honestly is not even worth watching semis or the final.it is so obvious effort gonna win this,flash cant do shiet vs the ronaldinho of broodwar, each time they meet in a box series offline he puts flash to shame. Same thing about last,he is good but no enough to to win vs the most talented and wonder skilled player Effort.

Haha eonzerg u are a funny guy. So much effort love to go around. I’ve been an effort fan but like motivate has said last has really had a incredible personal growth toward greatness that’s really been something to behold. I’m Rooting for last here by a 51/49 percentage points.

lmao just cuz Last won jaedong 4-0 everyone is like he is the best oif the best,jaedong since his return is not the same monster zerg we knew from the Kespa era,lets not fool anyone,the best zerg in the new era is Effort.if you followed him since his return to BW u will know it,but all we look are the 1 day results instead of the overall picture.This is the reason do u see ignorant comments about last and how fast he has improved when in reality Last has been the best terran before Flash return and keeping his top 2 for years now.

Am I missing something for thinking JD isn't nearly as good as effOrt right now? I mean his 2 hatch play is terrifying, but I think he goes with it at the moment for a reason - he doesn't seem to want to play macro games. I think Last has more to worry about here than he did with JD.

Here is my objective and facts based predictrions, based on previous matchsups and tendencies and player meta to metas.

Game 1: Effort macro to early lurker attack and game winning first SV snipe with 2 scourzxees
Game 2: Last bunker rush, may delay it until late mid tro late game
Game 3: Effort mass muta vs. gols. 3 rounds of re macro until key tech switch to... ling hydra
Game 4: Last 1-1-1 to mech with thidr snipe and strangles Effort lategame until base dries out into gg
Game 5: 4-5 mins speedling, to mm attempt to deny thinds to >100 health to timing lurker save to MM + tank reattakc to defiler counter to full mecj to 33 + few ultra to ARMAFGEDOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNN!!!!!

jd WAS on a roll in the early asl and ksl and seemed his peak 2006-7-8 self but i think it was mentioned in the casd that his arms hurt and didnt allow him to go effectivel macro late game hence his earyl and mud game rushes and epic fail loses

I wonder, isn't it better to open muta then just expand and switch to hydra? I mean terran basically has nothing but turrets and a few valks for such a long time... Should be possible to take advantage of that?

Awesome, hope he can keep it up. Have to say I am not fan of the 1-1-1 strat. It produces such crappy games, either zerg breaks them early or they just die. Prefer the good old SK terran builds.

Effort is a unique talent with unique style. The BW scene is in a better place when he's motivated and on top of his game.

What? EffOrts third was 100% dead if he didn't kill the army with mutas. Without a third EffOrt was 100% dead. He had a build order loss, AlphaGo had perfect reactions to everything up until that one point. Once LaSt lost that army he was in a really awful position, it gave EffOrt the 4th gas which gave him the win at the end of the game.

It was that paired with the lurker drop that bought him time.

It's hard to display unit skill versus 1-1-1, it is more of a test of what to do next.

it was the rare exactor glitch, when a drone attempts to make an extractor but it gets stuck there.

There is absolutely nothing you can do, you can group the drone with another unit and spam hold or stop, doesn't matter, drone just stuck there.

It's super rare, you can play 10000 games and never encounter it. Most famous one was a zvz that happened to JD and he continued to play the game while killing his drone.

Man that was pretty clutch tho, it all depended on killing those first marines.... if he hadnt managed to break there he would've just lost the game again in a shitty manner. Awesome it worked out this time tho, awesome games.. happy last didn't win with his boring tvz play

Say Effort plays Flash and Flash gets up 2-0. Is Flash comfortable? Nope. Doesn't matter if it's been eight years. A reverse sweep can never be forgotten.

There's only one guy that can make Flash feel that way. Not even JD, Bisu, Stork, anyone else.

I honestly didn't think effort would win, but goodness how glad I am to be wrong! G3 was absolutely fantastic, and loved what he did in G5 :D
It's ok. I still love you <3

It's strange that terrans don't block the entrance with double supply depot there. I saw the same type of break happen in another zvt and if zerg manages to kill your first 8-10 marines, terran is behind already. But the burrow trick was beautiful. Hope to see more of that in the future zvt's.

Haven't been following ASL streams recently since JD got knocked out, but damn I'm glad this popped up on my YouTube today. Game 3 & 5 were so good, 5 especially - it had everything: apparent BO disadvantage into sick micro pressure to overcome it, Effort managing to close it out and even a hilarious drone bug thingy when the excitement was at its peak. What a ride, just non-stop action from start to finish.

Trouble is with FlaSh vs LaSt is LaSt plays FlaSh's styles but not as good as he does so it'd be really one sided.

This feels like Shine's run, but executed by a much higher caliber player. Lots of tricks and mind games. It will be hard for him to use his bag of tricks twice and against Flash. Regardless, Effort played great.

In terms of skillset and mechanics, Effort has been one of top two (or three, when Larva was peaking, but he was a newer face) Zergs since Remastered came out. Obviously from a results perspective, that hasn't been the case except when he 3-1'd Flash last year. But if anyone watches pro streams, the consistent story that every pro says is that no one really ever wants to play a guy like Effort in a series. You see glimpses of it during ASL group draws or when they show the player votes, but all the pros know how good he is, even if he had lots of early tournament exits.

If I was rooting for any other player, I'd wish for the easiest bracket for them to win. But in Effort's case, I wouldn't have had it any other way - Rain, Last, then probably Flash.

Incredible games. I was afraid Last was going to stomp Effort like he did to Jaedong, but lo and behold Effort still had some smooth moves up his sleeve. Definitely the best ZvT in quite a while.

I thought Last was too strong going into this series. So refreshing by effort. Such a sick game 3 and 5.

Too bad it was 2-2 and Effort had to bring out this new strat to not risk getting eliminated. Otherwise he could have saved it to Flash.

Dunno why he committed so hard to all-ins. Aside from G5, those all-ins weren't well thought-out. Game 5 was amazing shit though, so good. In Game 2 I think he had another follow up ready (normal one) but his 4 lings did so much that he decided to pull the trigger instead.

Pretty amazing series in general. 2 players on eye level, although I think Effort is just a bit better than Last atm. I wish he would have done one more standard game. G3 was great!

ZvZ's can be exciting to watch but only sometimes.

PvP are kind of bland.

TvT are straight tedious to watch most of the time.

Absolute epic game 5 am from effort and I think we’ve got the best finals lead up we could have. Last may be more sizzle then fire and I think we saw his weaknesses this series. 1:1:1 is nice but he’s playing too predictable doing the same 1 starport stuff every game.

dope series. effort is nuts. a little worried about this playstyle vs flash's defense though. also not a great look that a top caliber zerg is trying his best to avoid macro games. the control and confidence looked like the effort of old though

Last defended very well I am not even convinced Flash would have done a better job at it, but I don't see him going 5 times 1/1/1. Which is good, because it is what trigger this playstyle, plus maps like autobahn and transistor for z v t... are we suppose to beat terran on that? You certainly don't want to go to the end game on those.

That burrowling maneuvering was so baller. It's amazing how in a 20 year old game we still get to see fresh tactics. I don't remember the last time I saw a Zerg player try to do that. Does anyone have links to VODs with similar use of burrowed lings, as in during an early attack/runby?

Apart from game 4, Effort was like a JD with the best lategame and macro mechanics I have ever seen under such pressure against such a good terran.

Game 4 is the difference between JD and Effort still in those clutch all ins. JD would not have messed that up I think.

I do not agree. JD have been screwing the follow-up up.
He still has his killer instinct. Like vs Flash in the group stages, he twice did to Flash whta no other Zerg is doing. But the second time he screwed up the follow-up even though he was miles ahead.

In game 4 Effort had 1 or 2 chances to break Last or put him severely behind, but botched them.



Btw what i tried to say is, apart from game 4 Effort looked like JD with the killer instinct, and ALSO had crazy lategame and macro mechanics, which I never think JD had. JD was ever only maybe top 3 or 4 in that regard, imo.

Effort's play was so inspiring, daring and brave through all the series and to do it against Last - most impressive. Those brilliant moves like the lings in the CB game, the lurker drops that set him up on Neo T. and then to top it all off - the burrow mechanic to dismantle the solid defense of Last - a real pleasure to watch.
And historically Effort has been able to perform well vs Flash, I think he even reverse beat him to win an OSL.
Let's see if Flash will cripple Shuttle tomorrow or will we have a ZvP for Sunday. Anyway, this ASL delivers!

the fact that tvz has turned into essentially nothing but ling and hydra busts or the zerg leaves, and when the game does go macro its the same 3 hatch build developed by savior 13 years ago is...concerning.

If you payed attention to the mini-map he only went balls deep because flash denied his 3rd from going twice. More credit to Flash rather than knocking JD down for doing a bad play because the original plan was dumb. Great plan but Flash denied him.

^ Yep, people really need to read the reddit post because it wasn't so much Jaedong messing it up, but rather Flash sniping that drone so many times.

Am I the only one who thoughts the series was ok? Game 5 was the most impressive out of all of them, mostly with the burrow play. Last should've anticipated that EffOrt would try to pull him out with the zerglings, and had a better defense at the front, but the burrow play would've given him headaches regardless. His multitasking failed him hard too though that's partly due to EffOrt having nice burrow lings spread in the main, and making him use up scans.

This series confirmed to me that Last can play the 1-1-1 really well, especially when he can scout what's going on. This is evident by the fact that he blocked it 2/3 games. The one game he lost was the one where he saw the lings too late, aka at his front, then lost his first vulture and got overwhelmed. Game 3 to me was good at the start until Last got impatient and lost his army outside EffOrt's third. He was too eager to go up that ramp, understandably so, but the game was EffOrt's from that point on, especially seeing that Last's SK Terran control is terrible, and that the lurker drop really denied mining for a while. Then you had times where Last would leave his medics apart from his marines, and he got them picked off for free, or the time where he dropped the fourth and sat in a swarm losing his units to several lings. Or what about the third base? Decides to build a third, but doesn't even have any marines or anything on the high ground to at least spot or try to intercept so he loses it right before it finishes. Suffice to say, Last's play in game 3 was full of holes and terrible past x minutes so it's no wonder that someone like EffOrt creamed him in that game.

Congrats to EffOrt for winning the series, but Last had problems in his games. Maybe he was getting tilted in game 3 because his mistakes were too severe for someone who beat both Jaedong, and Soulkey, players that I would rate higher than EffOrt in certain instances, quite convincingly.

but what else is there to do? lols
man we need a sequel so meta can evolve further

I think we need new types of maps to overhaul or greatly modify the meta; every map is a clever variation of the same thing: a main and a nat with 9 and 7 mineral patches, respectively, connected with a ramp or a choke and a third base not too far away indirectly connected to the nat via hills, etc.

Nah, the series was pretty cool. Game 3 and 5 were great. Game 2 was good. Game 1 and 4 were pretty shit but oh well.

We'll have to agree to disagree then. I was facepalming throughout game 3. It was pretty clear that Last was not prepared for EffOrt's style of play. Sad, but it's the reality of the situation. Hopefully he prepares better next time.

I honestly did not understand all of the hype for Jaedong in his match against Last. He is good but is past his prime. I feel like Effort and Soulkey are better contenders to take games off of Flash and Last.

Well, it's pretty hard for a terran to get map control back if you lost it once. Considering that I think Last did pretty well and he had the right ideas. Effort reacted damn well though and never handed the game back to Last.

No one is saying it was easy, but from my perspective, Last was not prepared at all and flattered in that game after he lost that first army. I won't say much more, just rewatch the game and pay attention to Last's army, camera, macro, and movement overall then you'll understand what I mean.

This series was so awesome. I can't believe that Effort won against alphago. But it is also disheartening that it takes this level of creativity and aggressiveness to kill the best terrans going 1-1-1. This kind of stuff, though amazing to watch when it works, is really not reproducible and won't cut it in the long run.

Well, basically this:

I think you're the only one, games 2 and 5 were so well good played by Effort.

For Game 3, Last has a good reason to want to to get into Effort's third before lurkers get there.

Later on, perhaps there's a reason why he didn't sit an army at his third to defend it. Perhaps he had to take a risk given how far behind he was and hoped that he could pressure Effort and get something done. If he were to split his army up he might not be able to put an pressure and would've lost anyway.

just watched first four games, up to game 3 amazing games. Then Effort big choke in game 4, im expecting the same and Last advancing to the finals after game 5. What did effort do in game 4 that is so wrong, he was over obsessed with killing a bunker which is exactly the worst trade he can do and having in mind he is the one with the weak economy. That was just making the game worst and worst for him, while doing ling runby into main is way easer and effecient option...

Man, cant be more happy to be wrong with such great games. What we saw today is surely a huge step to another meta change. Looks like the popular Terran 1-1-1 build, gives free room for zerg to use different tech and experiment too, which lead to such outstanding games. Shuttle old school play with archons, zealot pushes and agression brings back bw to its glory days in my eyes. Shittle revived the Protoss true spirit in PvZ and now Effort brining the flexible low econ zerg from the past. Great days for starcraft guys!
Btw thats looking like the Effort who took Flash 3-2 after 0-2 at Korean air OSL finals, havent watched flash vs shuttle but i imagine who is the winner of the series.
