Even though I think Snow will probably take last, I will not be sorry in the least if we get a last/sharp ro4 TvT rematch. Their last one was a damn work of art

Snow should win easily, they played a Bo9 recently and Snow was just styling on Last at one point. Think the score ended 6-3 but the actual games were very Snow dominated.

Last vs Snow sounds like a coin flip.
And so does Flash vs Rain!

TvP (Flash vs Snow, or Last vs Rain) or PvP (Snow vs Rain) in the finals. I have no hope for the swarm this season.

Both players are amazing, but last prepares a lot and definitely more than what flash does for offline tournaments. 끝장전(end of the game?) 9 game series is somewhat "instant" showmatch and both of the players don't have much of time to prepare.

Also, P>T>Z>P rule affects a lot for a short preparation match.

I think Snow should cancel that building to get 3rd base instead of it.

it seems like this was part of his build. after he finished it he got obs and reaverden in his main. seems like a big dedication but i guess it's ok since terran won't be there with anything other than vults for a while

i keep saying.. those games are different from the ASL. though i do favor snow here as i said before. but never be surprised if online results don't equal offline results.

i agree. it's like he always knows how many tanks the terran has and exactly where they are. usually when i play pvt i don't know where the tankline is or how deep it goes but i guess that's what makes him so much better than me :D

He had a ton of info, observers were never threatened; plus snow got intel with the shuttle. Masterful play with that proxy robo, I was watching with my mouth slightly agape. He got so much out of a scouted proxy that it's really frightening.

This match will be over in 90 minutes which is an insult to the fans who came to the studio. Afreeca needs to somehow make these matches more competitive or people will stop watching.

fans also prefer BW as it is. What do you want them to do? Snow is the best PvTer in the world. The map pool is pretty close to balanced, you have to accept that sometimes you'll see stomps, it's the nature of competition.

Man, I was expecting Snow to win but not this easily. that was a real bopping.

Come on, it's just a bo5 match, how long do you expect it to be. 5 games could've been played in less if there were more all ins and cheese plays. These were three proper games where Snow just demonstrated he can dominate the game vs Last. Very impressed with Snow's PvT, Last is no joke!

Last's wrists are always a wild card but even then, Snow's PvT is probably the best there is at the moment.

Admit it: everyone reading this thread was disappointed by the one-sided matches and would have preferred a five game series.

How the hell did Last prepare? Did he even watch Snow's games? Snow didn't do anything unusual or extraordinary, Last just reacted poorly to everything.

And it's players' business to prevent stomps and NOT afreeca's. They do their best picking wonky maps, but that's pretty much it, it's absurd to expect the organizer to try and affect the balance with more than a carefully selected mappool. What are they supposed to do? Take the better players' keyboards away?

Snow lost to the amateur ZeLot who got absolutely stomped in the next round. It's hard to call Snow elite so soon after that.

What! If you go to see a fight and it ends with a 20 second knockout, would you expect the organizer to meddle with the fighters for the next fight so that the fights last longer? I hope not.
If you're into scripted things, watch WWE or whatever it is called now. But to complain that one BW player is so outclassing the other that they need outside regulation to make it more entertaining for you - what insolence is this?

Of course not just this Bo 5 he is the only P that wins over Flash in a Bo5 since like forever.

What am I reading here... 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.

Last is quite weak in TvP so consider Snow's competition. Last is best in TvT and TvZ.

Stats suggest otherwise, to be honest, but Flash is not somebody to underestimate anyone, least of all Rain whose style he knows fairly well. 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)

Dominant performance from Snow.

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

Snow is a beast PvT. Did not expect a clean 3-0 sweep. But GG's, sad that Last is out
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.

What a PvT monster SnOw is! Even Bisu couldn't outclass 2nd best terran like he schooled. Last was hiding on his terran hole like a rat all three games and couldn't do anything, even minor cheap vulture harass. I'm expecting SnOw on finals vs. FlaSh. Maybe FlaSh is going to lose another TvP to same person after his like 10 years unbeatable record until ASL5 ro8 vs. him.

Yeah, Last really needs some rest. His performance was OK seeing how bad his wrists were, he told on KSL he went to doctor. 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.

Why does everyone jump to the conclusion Last lost because of wrist pain? Has he at least said he had wrist pain recently? I think it is just people making excuses.

Last played bad, plain and simple. Its not from yesterday that his TvP has problems, he lost Stork 0-3 in KSL not long time ago in KSL 3. He did swap Action and Best to get rid of 2 protosses in the group nominations also.

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

Last was crazy spooked. Snow won the mind game MASSIVELY. Look at the builds both used in game 2, for example.

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

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.

Where did all these "Flash won't make it past rain" conclusions come from? 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.

Those three games were a true work of art by Snow.

That 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.

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.

Snow played incredibly well in this series. He seemed to be far more prepared than Last. Every one of his builds and maneuvers seemed very calculated and precise. I'm hoping that we can see Snow vs. Flash in the finals.

I was already hoping for a Snow vs. Flash finals, this just adds to the hype. Sharp and Action are both credible threats, but I think Snow has decent odds against both, and I don't see anyone on Flash's side taking him out unless Flash is playing poorly.

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.

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.

ever since he lost to sharp by making an umbillion mistakes i have discounted his pvt as well. idk if that series was 100% his pvt but it definitely made me wonder. that series is when i started getting high on sharp. and not just because he looks like a korean seth macfarlane

Too bad for Last. He won ASL7 while facing elimination 5 times. 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.

Best is a beast online, watching Flash 's play vs him he has a good balance of harass openings and late game macro.

I almost can't believe how good Snow and Mini's reaver/speedShuttle micro is. I also can't believe how bad my micro is when i try this out. 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.

Snow did not stand a chance vs Larva in the late game when they played these 9 show matches recently.



If it comes to Snow vs Action, i think Snow can win in the early/mid game. He might be able to pull of some corsair/reaver plays with a 2 base Zelot timing follow up, or some similar timing push. If i recall, that's how he won against Soulkey.

Snow is always a threat in Bo5 though. I remember when everyone thought he'd be easy pickings for Jaedong in their series and he still brought it to 5 games. Snow is a very good BoX player.

Given that no Protoss has beaten Rain in a series in quite some time, I think that can be forgiven.

Snow has a higher win rate vZ than vT online, it just depends on whether he'll be able to bring it offline. He did take out Miso, Shine, and SoulKey in KSL, so he should have a decent chance of doing so.

Something everyone should be aware of about Rain:

Rain is notorious for being lazy about StarCraft when he streams. His Sponbbang results have pretty much never been great, and he plays much less than most others. But somehow he keeps winning offline matches.

Flash is still probably the favourite to win, but an online Rain and an offline Rain are two completely different people. Even if Rain wins it shouldn't be too much of a surprise.

Question:
In the first game Last's scv passes Snows probe taking a weird scouting path at around 2:10. Would it be fair to say that Last knew about at least the rough position of the proxy pylon then and later only had to confirm it after snow placed a building?

Thanks, this is useful context to know, and I say that sincerely.
