Really sad that we are going to lose another player to the military. I hope Soulkey has a safe tour of duty. Sucks he can't finish the tournament, even if he wins today. Excited to see Flash again. (Hi all you craft loving hues of man) | ||

Omg VioleTAK sighting. Horang2 is one of my favorite players. I believe. But he disappoints a lot. Especially vZ. We'll see. | ||

 .. which would really be better suited for Horang2. Jeeeeeeez.. is it really that hard to build a control group of +1 sairs and keep them together so you don't lose air-control and thus get wrecked pretty much in exactly the same way  At least SK got spanked rather well, that made up for some of the mundane nature of the games today. | ||

Rain is a god of PvP, but I don't think he was good enough at that time to beat Flash. Remember that was the first time in like 11 years that Flash lost a boX to a protoss player. Snow played a perfect series versus him in ASL5, but I'm not sure lighting will strike twice. | ||

I don't get why soulkey went for triple sunken instead of hydras for his defense against vultures vs flash. I guess it's more gas heavy... but hydras are so much better vs vulture drops and he gets a 3rd gas for free. He still played well but just got too far behind from that drop. It seems like queens before hive vs mech is a lot more popular in the pro scene right now, but I think I've only seen it fail in this ASL haha. This Ro8 is going to be sick! Can't wait for Action vs Light finals!  But seriously a snow/action and flash/rain semis with snow vs flash finals would make this an amazing ASL. Honestly any combination of these 8 moving forward would be fantastic. | ||

Absolutely agree, I'm really hoping that we get Snow/Flash rematch for the final. I feel like people (including Tastosis) are forgetting that Rain's not nearly as good at matches that aren't PvP. | ||

FlaSh showed his god performance 100% today, loved how he killed early game eco of zergs with such little vulture runbies. Aaaand he gets free win. vs. Light plus lower bracket seems easier for him so free ticket for finals. | ||

If Flash does any sort of meaningful damage he gets a huge mid and late game advantage he doesn’t let go of. I agree in that I wonder if hydra is a better opening to deal with the harass and then maybe move to muta once the zergs eco is stronger. | ||

You are wrong on so many levels Rain consistantly beats Flash (yes, on ladder + sponsored matches but they haven't met off line) Rain has owned Last's number except for the last time where Rain got EXTREMELY unlucky and LOST 2-3 He owned Sharp pretty easily in his KSL Championship run Rain vs. Flash will be fucking incredible and Rain has a GREAT shot at beating him, Flash even admits this Literally the only thing Rain needs to do to fix his TvP is to put his fucking templars in some shuttles and hes set | ||

Snow more than double his win rate at 11:25/30.5%. Both of them probably have better odds against Flash in a prepared offline tournament than those stats suggest, but Rain's going to have to prepare insanely well to have a "GREAT shot" at beating Flash. | ||

Both of them probably have better odds against Flash in a prepared offline tournament than those stats suggest, but Rain's going to have to prepare insanely well to have a "GREAT shot" at beating Flash. I completely agree with this and the stats are correct. Month by month, the Protoss players with the most consistent chance of beating Flash have been Best and Snow, especially considering sample sizes. More recently so possibly more relevant to this particular tournament, Snow has a 2-2 record against him since June, but that's too small a sample size to compare to the 20 games (13-7) Flash has played versus Best or the 33 (24-9) versus Stork in that same timeframe. Rain has lost 7 of the 9 games between the two, not too reassuring but a rather small sample size as well. All of those are on the ASL8 maps. Granted, online stats do not readily translate into probability of winning in an offline best-of series, but still, I'd consider Snow and Best far more dangerous than Rain. | ||

Not only Best (snow doesnt look affected much) is under performing to say the least, but Flash's game step up to another level. edit: Rain's game also step up in offline matchs, but i do agree that his chances of beating Flash are lower than snow. | ||

Must be really frustrating to root for the guy, he's so awesome on stream. Still, should he EVER reach the elimination phase of the ASL, I'd consider him the most dangerous opposition for any Terran alongside Snow. | ||
