 Snow is not that good, Snow didn't do anything unusual or extraordinary, and Flash won't make it past Rain. I'm just... short on words to write in response to these statements.I think Artosis was spot-on in his repetitive remark that Last is approaching his opponent the wrong. Playing standard vs the very best really does put you against the odds. | ||

This is not to say Rain is not dangerous, of course. I mean Rain literally just won a tourney, so I'm sure he will ride the momentum. Being a long-term fan of Rain, he's been known to not one crumble under high expectations (he does get super lazy lol) Flash is still really strong though, so I guess it might be close, just recency bias for Rain (and bias for him anyways, I support Rain more than anyone) | ||

Edit: Snow needs Flash to knock Rain out. He's probablly the only player in the World who wants to play Flash not Rain. | ||

 On the up-side it will make for a very interesting ro4 on this side of the bracket. I think Action is quite happy with this result, and if he meets snow in the next round he might go all the way to the finals. If Action meets Rain in the finals then I think Action might take it! But if Sharp wins over Action, most likley Snow goes to the finals, and if he meets Flash there I think Snow might win, if he meets Rain in a PvP then I'm betting on Rain becoming the champ. Although I'm really hoping the finals will end in a non mirror-mu whoever gets there. | ||

Like suddently player who used to play with 350+ apm has sub 200 apm and has negative winrates across the board... It is very painfull to see Last unable to perform like he used to. | ||

I know what is wrist pain, actually got some on left hand because of spamming lately, can't imagine how hard for Last smashing buttons when you feel that pain constantly. | ||

On the other hand, SnOw was really impressive. I always thought he had some major macro leaks, like his probe transfert, he forget pylones way more than others Top P, etc. But today everything seemed on point, and his decisions making was Flashesque | ||

So, the defending ASL champion is that afraid of Snow and his abuse. Nothing out of the ordinary. | ||

I think it is just people making excuses. http://bj.afreecatv.com/rlatjdgus228/posts?page=3 You can google- translate these entries and later ones, I don't think Last would lie about stopping streaming and such. Besides, would Last have won KSL or ASL with this kind of performance? Would he have placed constantly top in sponsored matches? Yes, Last has tendency to crumble under pressure but today it that was not the case. Just bad mechanical execution in every way. | ||
