Mini should have been ready for that floating fac
to be fair, he put the pylon down there to make sure last didnt rty anything funky... but last then build the fact on the outside. vs rain he build it inside. mini should have scouted with probe though, but last played this game with 3million IQ. super smat, the bunker rush at the front as well to take attention aawy from the the floating fact. and then the proper response to turret push against fast carriers was beautiful.
Mini played this series sloppily and how he normally plays when he gets tilted, continue to bash your head into a wall and slowly lose. very sad stuff to watch but were we really surprised?

buildable terrain for T
But blockchain is so P favored right? because all maps should have unbuildable terrain in the middle and those that don't are T favoured
Middle? This guy is a comedian right here...can't stop laughing.

I don't think anyone expected Mini to take more than 1 map... I guess this finals was what it was.

What a great series from Last!

He did overcome that and came back vs effort, so I was hoping

Awesome finals, sad that Mini suffered a bit too much with nerves but fun games!

After how good the semi-finals were, this was honestly an anti-climactic finals. Game 1 and 2 showed great promise, even though Mini's blunder counter drop almost seemed to cost him the game. But there were a lot of really nice moves - like Mini's reach-around with the dragoons, Lats's smart play on Block Chain,or Last's amount of turrets shutting down Mini's turret play.
As the series went on, I felt it just got progressively worse. I still feel that Mini has the potential for greatness, but when he starts crumbling, he really falls apart. Last showed some really, really good play, though!
It'd be a decent finals, if it weren't for the semi-finals. Pretty good Game 1 and 2, the rest was "meh" and left a sense of disappointment. Very happy for Last, congratulations! Well deserved! And I hope Mini can keep improving and getting mentally stronger in the future - I expect great things from him (although reaching the ASL finals, beating effort on the way there, is pretty darn great in itself!) :D

After the Ro24, I think the casters just decided it was P favored from the results.
But Ro16 onward by that metric, it was heavily T favored. (not that limited ASL results is the best metric)
Last was 4-0 on the map vs P. Snow, Rain 2x, and Mini. The ones vs Rain were pretty good, but the one against Snow was very exciting. Best lost to Mind on it too. Hard to say its P favored and mean it.

I don't think the games are a good indication of balance at all. Last beat Snow with a proxy rax vs nexus first and 2 x proxy fac vs Rain and Mini, and 1 game was Rain doing a proxy gate which did nothing. Those were hardly standard games.

Right.. So let me get this right...the record doesn't count because it wasn't standard games, although these are played between top pros at the highest level, but it does count when Terran has anything close to a losing record or god forbid, equal win/loss record to the other races.
Yeah I think I get it now. Thanks.

just tuned in during game 3 as last had set up the contain in front of mini's natural
judging from the replay, mini moved his main army around to the top side of the map and kept no vision of the direct route to watch for an army move from last?? seems weak
|
What an amazing series, last had such a deserving win. The last game was amazing on how much he countered mini, doing everything to secure an win. He was so far ahead that mini could only follow him
Props to the champ, he gave us the best Ro8 and best Ro4.

Finally Last takes ASL. Really great season and well deserved victory for Last!

Ay I watched on YT exactly before it got blocked.
I'm sorry for those who will depend on the Afreeca shitty player, I hope they focus on retrieving lost VODs before the next season.

Results so far suggest BC is actually Terran favoured. I've stated as much in several previews already, citing sponbbang statistics. Protoss wins on that map in ASL were against lesser foes - jyj and Tinkle come to mind. You are free to elaborate why the map is Terran favoured or you can be edgy. Any discussion is preferable to throwing thinly veiled balance whine. I apologize in advance if that's not what you meant.
