EPTJokes aside, this game was really entertaining. Having both players take all bases of the map and then immediately lose almost all of them in quick succession was an unusual dynamic.

I mean, I get that last season's finals were pretty sad, but that seems a bit ridiculous. And while Sea.KH did look good in the Ro24, uh... no. Maybe in a few seasons. I also think you're underestimating ZerO and Soma, though they do both tend to choke offline. | ||

SnOw doesnt look that scary in PvT anymore, and i do think that Stork has an advantage on him especially on new maps. Best is stronger than ever, i just hope he can play like he does online. No faith in ZerO. To me, he is the zerg version of Bisu. Multitasking god, superb macro, but have the decision making of a fried shrimp sometimes (especially offline). Soma has greater odds imo. | ||

Who else could realistically beat Flash in a bo5? I would give a top macro Zerg the best shot, Flash always brings his A game vs Protoss and if the maps aren't horribly imbalanced Flash usually comes out in top. In that sense Soulkey/Zero would have the best chance to give Flash a run for his money but they would have to play near perfect throughout the series. Best has a realistic shot but provided someone takes out the Zergs for him. Maybe Snow if his form is absolutely top notch on a day, he got stomped 4-0 by Flash but he can play much better than what he showed the previous ASL. Stork has been an absolute beast recently in PvT so he's up there as well. Terrans on the other hand have almost no chance, it's the least volatile match-up of the 3 and almost no strong Terrans left. | ||

Snow beat Flash due to the maps, people always say Flash won the "imbalanced" map that series but if Third World wasn't played twice that series might have been very different. | ||

In fact, excluding his matches against Flash, he's never lost more than one game in a series against Terran in all of ASL/KSL. I see no grounds for dismissing that. Again, he's not favored against Flash (I don't think anyone is) but he's the Protoss with the best chance. | ||

And I think it's SK although he's recently back from military. SnOw also has a chance especially on Inner Coven. SoMa should deliver well if he won't choke offline like he did KSL semis vs. Light. Also why no one is mentioning Bisu? C'mon he can make it to finals and I bet it will be good finals. Bisu trends: * Always loses to tier two Zergs prior to finals (exception Larva) * Never has won a finals versus a Terran If he does win this ASL, it will look like all of his and Rain's past championships. Flash Trend: * Doesn't lose boX versus Protoss (exception Snow pre finals) I think if we had to bet, it would be on SK or Action. | ||
