I would love to find a track list too. Youtube lists some of the songs but many of them are wrong or missing completely. I really like the first song in RO8 Day 1. I've been trying everything to find the artist who does it. Shazaam, reddit, etc but can't find it lol. It's stuck in my head arggg. | ||

1. Jaedong's alive and uploads StarCraft pretty much every day, I'm subscribed to his YT 2. Last is on the same boat, battling wrist issues | ||

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. I feel that was more a blunder of Effort though. Why on earth would Mini switch back to corsair tech after already having invested in a templar's archives and (for a game that short) so many gates... Really odd if you ask me. | ||

Everyone just assumes Rain will steamroll Last and do the same to Mini; they don't seem to recall Sharp beat him in a convincing fashion TvP Bo5 and I would not say Last is worse than Sharp. Just like they expected Effort to do with Mini, I guess. I am not saying it's impossible for Rain to smash Last but he will to bring his absolute A game in order to do so. But anyway - this is why the game is so enjoyable to me - to predict the outcome of uncertain events based on past performance is so shaky and unreliable. | ||

Yea, I'm not sure why anyone would expect a steamroll over Last. Last is clearly on paper the second best terran player and second best BW player behind Flash. Maybe his tournament results aren't quite as strong...but they are still very elite with many top 8s and 4s. Sure, his wrist is giving him problems...but we just watched him get to the Ro4, last series over Sharp in a drawn out Bo5 of TvT....if his wrist was in ultra bad mode I can't imagine he would have gotten past Sharp. That could flare up and make the series a casual 3-0 for Rain. It could. But up until this point it's been good enough for Last to compete with top class players in this tour, including Sharp who is best in TvT. Is Rain the favorite? Yea, definitely. But talking about this series like it's Rain v Tinkle or something is being silly. | ||

Best of all though, after almost having a breakdown as usual, Mini stayed calm and took a cool game 5 that saw dark templars slick through EffOrt's chances of victory. It wasn't even some kind of trick or anything, it was just Mini straight up outplaying EffOrt, much like Rain vs Action on Gladiator from ASL5 where Rain just destroyed Action. Mini was underestimated and EffOrt paid for it which is funny since Mini has been playing nothing, but ZvP this whole tournament and that surely made him a better ZvP player since he could focus on the one matchup. Mixing in different styles in each game too must've gotten into EffOrt's head in the sense that he had to keep wondering what Mini will throw at him. Granted, Mini was the underdog going into this but there was a chance for an upset and there it is! :D "I'm gonna beat you with zealots" -> you certainly did Mini, you certainly did haha. This result makes me so happy. EffOrt might be one of the best Zergs, but he's not someone that can be relied on to consistently make finals and win back to back championships. Of course, this is a better finish for him than any other tourneys except ASL6. However, only the best, aka Flash are allowed to win 3 ASLs in a row  On that note, Rain vs Last will be amazing to watch. I'd be nice to have a new ASL champion so I'm rooting for Last personally. | ||

I was rooting for effort especially since he could stomp rain or last but damn Mini played very well and deserved the win. There's a good reason why larva voted for mini too I suppose. I'm terrible at ZvP so I don't know, was effort's reaction to his scouting of mini's builds bad? (Eg game 5) Did mini outsmart him or did effort not play as well as he should have? Bigfan, please just shut up about Flash already | ||

As is tradition (Three Kings, Neo-Three Kings, Six Dragons), a new Protoss era is marked by a group of Protosses reaching their peak simultaneously. | ||

So many people dismissing Last because of his hurt wrists... Last is a beast, and though I will root for rain, he is far from eliminated yet. | ||
