just realised mini has only played pvz for the entirety of this tourney so far, including his wildcard seed match against action. being able to concentrate on only 1 type of matchup must be pretty comforting too.

I would agree with this completely if it was anything but PvZ. I think any protoss but Bisu will prefer to face different race every game than facing only zergs

Effort tried to be too smart in the games he lost. Why keep going muta?


Because Z's are used to getting free wins by just going Mutas for such a long time, along with Z's not caring what P usually does in the matchup in terms of BO. It's hard to beat old habits.


I'll credit to Mini though, instead of building Corsairs when he saw Mutas he built Archons + dragoons which I seldom see and Effort was totally caught off guard. There were a few times in the series where he just flew mutas and a ton of scourge in with no Corsairs to snipe lol.

From now on : any protoss but Bisu and Mini. PvZ is his best matchup and he is insanely good at it.

This ASL so good. Mini's probe, zealot, corsair, and dt micro was ridiculous. EffOrt clearly not used to someone with Mini's level. I feel like EffOrt won his games from strategic crushes with his positioning on Whiteout and the clutch shuttle snipe tactic on blockchain whereas Mini relied on crisp micro to pummel EffOrt with his bare hands.
Banned for saying "zerg players are by far the biggest whiners in sc2 history" despite the fact that this forum is full of such posts about Terrans. Foreigner Elitists in control!

Stellar performance from Mini. And we could say lackluster from Effort. But things are how things are, Mini played better today and with his hard work deserves to be in the finals. Great games, great entertainment, I love watching this game, it is amazing.
And I don't care what the finals are, PvP or PvT, it will be an awesome display of skill and abilities anyway.

It’s good for Broodwar that players like Mini can hold their own in PvZ against Zergs the caliber of Effort.

Mini versus Rain finals would be epic. I’d watch that for sure. Last time I saw the two play each other in an ASL the games were close. We would probably see some Dark Archon shenanigans like Best’s pimpest play in a previous ASL where he Feedbacks HTs.

Great games by Mini. Rain has got to be really happy about this result too. Based on stats alone this would be a free win finals.

People saying Mini was not good are porbably not seeing the same games as I am. Mini's scouting probe remembers Bisu's, causing so much mischief with pylons, blocking hatcheries, harrassing drones and so on. And this I have not see any other P do so well at all, even for one game. And here is Mini playing as if possessed by the revolutionist spirit...

Mini probably is not on the same level as Rain overall, but his PvZ seems to me the best in the world right now.

Mini's emotions deserves champion status.

I cannot imagine how emotionally devastating that will be to Mini... To be 3-0'ed by Rain.

Hot damn what a great series. So hyped for Mini. The no storm archon-only g5 was really smart.

You got to imagine that both Rain and Last are pretty happy right now, as both wanted to avoid Effort.

I hope for Mini's sake that they both underestimate him the same way Effort seemed to, and Mini can surprise us all!

Congratulations to Rain for winning ASL7.

Although I'm pretty sure he would've beat EffOrt anyways.

Hahah. People were saying Effort was unstoppable, too.
Rain is more reliable but less unplayable at his best, Last and Mini aren't exactly weak.

Game 1 and 2 were fascinating.
In 3 mini tries to be snow but doesnt have his reaver control. The engagement in the forest where you want to gather all your army and run thru zerg base, he run away his corsairs knowing there is a clump of mutas ready to snipe his reavers, that was the wtf moment in the game and typical mini brainfart.
In the 4th game so simple way to deny zerg 3rd was just canon rush, no way zerg can reinforce that island base you just let them do it and make pylon and a canon and then its 2 vs 2 base, but mini didnt think of that at all, he wanted to do his corsair reaver build and thats it.
Game 5 same as 1 and 2, ountstanding, he was ready for everything effort does, and won in dominating manner.
Well deserved win, although he couldve ended it game or two earlier.

Great last 2 games but FFFFFFFUUUUUUUAAAAAAAARRRRRRKKKKKKKKKKKK damned pvp finals. Hate that shit with a passion. Even prefer a zvz series with the hope for at least 1 lategame zvz in there somewhere ;P.

BW PvP is enjoyable to watch.

It's kinda funny that ZvZ on BW is complete shit to watch as PvP on SC2.

Awesome games today. The salt that brought to the last game was hilarious.

Hopefully Last can pull an upset but it's looking unlikely, looks like I'm gonna skip watching the finals because PvP is the worst matchup to watch by a mile. Also fuck Afreeca right in the bootyhole for making their video thumbnails the winner of the match.
