Builds a barracks in his nat, just to cancel it immediately when lings see it, so it looks like a CC but Soulkey doesn't get a chance to click and check. | ||

I also disagree with Artosis's statement that last season match wasn't close, those were pretty darn close games. COME ON SOULKEY! | ||

COME ON SOULKEY! yeah I had a similar argument with a guy from the 1/4 finals threads, he was explaining how Rain-Last is given with Rain 110% sure champion :-) | ||

Agree but also Last looks pretty off in a way that its not because SK is playing great, the bunker rush was the only moment where SK outplayed Last without Last fucking it up too imo | ||

At any rate, Soulkey losing to Sharp would be the most unexpected thing that could happen so far. | ||

I just wonder if he wanted to play these special strategies because of the fans. He did get hate for that. Interesting idea, but I think SK doesn't have anything like a Jaedong fanbase. I'm still assimilating what happened. Maybe he overthought things or underestimated SK's resourcefulness. I thought on this matchup for a few days and ultimately decided Last would be saying: Ok, this isn't Effort, I can do 1-1-1 builds. I've been working on some refinements that should work against Soulkey. Let's do that. And I thought that would work. Didn't expect 2-port wraith to be a "refinement" though. Back to the drawing board I guess. | ||

Question: Are Last's builds supposed to be strong against aggressive anti 1-1-1 Zerg openings? There's got to be some rationale for his choice, he played like he was the underdog but he should feel like he is right? | ||

Wow, super game. I think progamers played better when they lived in team houses, had coaches, sponsors (as opposed to Afreeca balloons), and had a workout regimin. That's not to say games today cannot be exciting, and I don't know the source for claims of Last having wrist issues (he certainly played like he has some), but a coach simply wouldn't allow that to happen. | ||

 Games: Looked like Last had serious problems handling SoulKey early game in this series. And his 1-1-1 seemed off... looked like his head was not in the match really and it quicky gets out off hand. Like JDvsRain and last seasons finals. Once Mutas were out he was in big trouble every time & the double port shenaningans did not pay off.. I think he would be better off playing more standard, avoiding risks and aiming for late game with heavy upgraded bio/vessel/tank/drop-play. Anyhow GJ by SoulKey! | ||

Having said that, Last was on top of his macro from what I recall, and aside from proxy rax play in game 3 that needed work, I can't remember anything major standing out in the first 2 games to say anything. Even in the last game, he had a great position but Soulkey just killed that bunker like it was nothing, well played by him. Anyways, grats to Soulkey. A Soulkey vs Sharp finals will be interesting seeing as this is the best form Sharp has ever been in, and neither him nor Soulkey have won any major tournament like ASL or KSL so we'll have a new champion regardless of the outcome! | ||

Either SK has a ton of fans who vote with their heart or everyone saw this as a close match. Meanwhile Sharp... Only 27 voted for Sharp? Called it Sharp looked insane vs Mind on Heartbreak Ridge (one of my favourite TvTs so far) and Mind is a TvT monster btw. So not sure why people were sleeping on Sharp here, he has been winning a LOT and Rain has been falling flat on his face a lot lately even though I know he's a PvT god he hasn't looked dominant at all in his play.Super surprised by the Last v SoulKey results though :S Not that SoulKey won but 4-0? Shocker. | ||

Starting from 10.00 onwards Last mentions bad control etc. During Moo proleague draft he made update on his channel http://m.afreecatv.com/rlatjdgus228/detail/0/39177919 Not certainly sure what he proclaims, but atleast that the pain is getting worse and worse and affects his play. | ||

Flash and Jaedong have also had wrist problems, right? I swear I remember reading ~2 years ago that Jaedong was about to retire due to health reasons but obviously that didn't happen. I guess we're seeing what happens to players' bodies after 10+ years of intense practice almost every day :\ | ||

Shocker. Sharp is very cool and he's been improving at a tremendous rate, but Mind is no competition for him. He's no TvT monster by any means and TvT is his weakest matchup. He's an expro, to be sure, he's certainly better at it than 99% of the players out there, but most top terrans are better than him in TvT - and it is Sharp's best matchup. He played really well, too. All 3 games were really fun to watch. | ||
