The OP and sidebar both said that it was supposed to start 15 minutes ago, but Liquipedia says it starts in 1h45m. No stream at the moment so I guess Liquipedia is correct?

Wait, so it doesn't start until in almost two hours? Have i been bamboozled into getting up at 7 in the morning for no reason?

Call me crazy but I really think Zero is strongly favored against Rain. I can see him winning 3-1. Rain looked really strong against the zergs earlier in this tournament but those zergs weren't nearly at the level of Zero's ZvP.

Well since I've now been reminded it's a bo 7 I'll go with 4:2 since 3:1 seems pretty unlikely;)

Light vs Soma is tricky since I haven't seen much of Soma's ZvT but I'm gonna go Light 4:3 soma.

on paper yeah in-form zero is a monster in zvp, but zero is a serial offline choker and his performance in this tourney so far hasn't really been spectacular. it really depends on zero himself, if he can steady himself rain would be no match for him.

also its bo7 btw

Rain 4:3 Zero. Rain should win. Rain is the better player but everyone but Mini has sketchy PvZ. Any hydrabust can happen on the day.

No idea on Soma Light.

Best result for games might be Light vs Zero Finals. Light V Rain would be a murder.

Also shoutout to the Mini Zero series. Mini has really turned it around in 2019.

I forgot both semis where being played today. Still, use to how they do the brackets in ASL. Two best of 7 games tonight.

Predicting Rain and Soma to advance to the finals.

Oh this is Dirty.

Surprised he couldnt just send those lings into Rain's base.

Ok thought zerO would do more.

If only Zero had somehow trapped those 5 zealots.

Mrn. Zero looking pretty dead

Zero in terrible shape this game...Youd wanna be droned up and on 6 hatch by this point. Compared to what rain had at that point that is.

Weird Cybercore position G2? Takes up a cannon spot?

Rain looks beastly

That was really impressive from Rain. Shocking really. Zero was ahead in supply at one point. But rain still got his third up by having his army in the perfect spots. Then despite losing a lot of templars made sure he still had enough with his army that zero couldnt take a big fight. It was odd to me that Zero waited so long to take a 4th and 5th base despite rain being on 3 base for quite a while...the same number as him. I think he expected Rain to commit more to a full on attack but rain was smart and just patrolled the middlish areas of the map then would pull back.
