EPTThat third expansion denial in game 1 with DTs and Reaver, that Shuttle surviving impossible odds in game 2, the outmanoeuvering and outflanking in game 3, when almost any other Protoss in the world would have panicked. Masterfully done, he makes that matchup look so easy.

Rain is undeniably the best PvPer in the world but his PvT has never been anything spectacular (compared to his PvP, at least), and certainly not up to the calibre of snow's in terms of decision making. It’s just fanboyism. Let them think what they want. We both know Flash will probably win big. | ||

The feeling of this series reminded me of Bisu vs Savior. I'm truly hoping for Snow vs Flash finals  | ||

Masterfully done, he makes that matchup look so easy. Just watched the games and can only agree. It's always amazing to see with how much care Snow maneuvers his units around the map in PvT to get all those advantages. Simply amazing strategic play paired with great micro.

Especially when Bisu's worst match up has always been PvT. | ||

Yeah it's weird, like where are they getting that conclusion from. In the previous match thread someone looked up the sponbang stats and Rain has a <20% win rate vs Flash last month. | ||

Snow can certainly deliver. I can't help but remember his game on Whiteout vs Soulkey in ASL7 Ro16 (where Snow was sadly also eliminated by Last). That game was superb. | ||

The match vs Sharp was awesome, and the match vs Rain in the semis was one of the most thrilling I've seen. The Mini - Effort semifinal was great also. Hoping ASL8 has matches like that as we get deeper. Snow can certainly deliver. I can't help but remember his game on Whiteout vs Soulkey in ASL7 Ro16 (where Snow was sadly also eliminated by Last). That game was superb. He was eliminated by Last previously but when Snow's BGM choice is 'The Circle if Life' he must've known what was up | ||

Best 36% snow 28% Stork 26% Mini 25% Jaehoon 20% Rain 19% LOL their boy losing out to Jaehoon Gotta admit I didn't expect Best to be that high, though. | ||

Snow's PvZ is not that good imo, so i think he will have a tough time if Action wins against Sharp. I would like to see Snow vs Sharp in bo4 and Snow vs Flash in finals. | ||

Very fun style to play, though. Snow's PvZ is not that good imo, so i think he will have a tough time if Action wins against Sharp. I would like to see Snow vs Sharp in bo4 and Snow vs Flash in finals. Snow's PvZ is not his best offline but online he has a good ratio; also, he advanced over Soulkey in the last KSL. Snow vs Action, if it happens, will be hard to predict. | ||
