This Soma guy, omg. Can literally only allin. Such amazing talent, so amazing games. Thank you Soma!
edit: how can anyone enjoy this, I have no idea.

I mean I sort of understand Soma because he wants the fame and probably money, so he cheeses every game because he knows he has no real chance in macro game. But why are people enjoy watching this? Ahh, let's not even go into this...


You're stupid.

Soma has incredible macro play. He played like this because it was Bisu and because of the maps.

It was a brilliant strategical move.

Soma vs Flash would be nice too. But really want to give Light another chance at a win.

It's a thin line and sometimes you simply cannot know in TvZ. Even up to this day we see hydra all-ins killing great players all the time. For an all-in, it should be more risky for the Zerg.

Honestly don't care who won. They both didn't show a single inspiring game. A few great moments but as a whole this was a farce. I haven't seen Light play TvZ in a long time but if he is still playing TvZ as I remember he will rip Chosim to shreds. You can't do silly cheeses every game against terran.


Oh man you are in for a ride, Soma's ZvT is crazy good. I remember awhile back he was giving Flash a hard time.

Is he the biggest contender to upsetting flash ?

Eat that you disgusting cheeser!


uhh ok, this is the saddest line of reasoning

Hydra bust -> hidden expo -> Lurker bust

There's nothing wrong with having disdain for somebody playing the odds fishing for free wins over and over rather than trying to outplay somebody.


bamboozling is outplaying, killing the scouting probe is outplaying because he was denied scouting info, soma knowing that you can end the match when you're ahead is outplaying.

long macro games aren't the only way to say if someone is better or not, its the most archaic thinking on our forums.

bisu got played, and he would have been out if he did not correctly scout.

Killing a scouting probe with speedlings is not outplaying.

Throwing the dice in the dark is not outplaying.

Well, ok then, by your own words, Soma is outplaying Bisu because Bisu cannon rushed.

No, by my own words winning with a cannon rush is not a meaningful measure of outplaying somebody. I didn't claim Bisu was outplaying Soma by dying to a hidden expo.

Winning = outplaying. That's the only definable measure of skill. To win.


This assertion is wrong. In a game where luck is a component, skill will never be the only determining factor to win, which means not every victory is caused by higher skill. And it also very much varies between games. When you place all your hopes into a strategy that is largely luck-based and win then the win is also largely luck-based as opposed to skill-based. Obviously skill plays a roll as well. I wouldn't have hold any of the cheeses here against those two even if I scouted them. But when players are on a similar level, these strategies are largely luck-based because it only comes down to scouting in time.

Where was the luck on game 1 and 2? Soma outplayed Bisu in both those games, partially because Bisu played worse, but Soma also played more intelligently and more skillfully as well.

Protoss can't get info after Zergling speed finishes.
From there Zerg can choose from a series of all-ins/builds that payout when the first Corsair is available and Protoss can force scouting.
If Protoss doesn't guess right they are somewhere between severely behind and dead on the spot.

Luck is having the Protoss not guess right.

There is no option or mechanic in the game that allows Protoss to bypass this dice game, short of playing an even quicker dice game like a gate or cannon rush.

Of the three players remaining , probably yes. He , then Zero , then Light
Imo Light has the least amount of chance

More cannon rushes. Yes, I hope they make the change.


That is not a fair comparison. Cannon rushes are seen as often as 2hatch lurker all-ins, so, rare. Hydras are seen all the time.

I love Bisu as much as anyone but Soma is an incredible player. I called 3-2 Soma before the set begun so I'm not surprised. Soma is the real deal. And he's a breath of fresh air. If you dislike Soma, you just aren't a fan of the game, you're a fan of a person or a race. Which is fine. Who cares. But it's not the same.

Seriously.

Bisu constantly making the same mistake vs Z since.. idk, 2008-9? Wasnt surprised at all that he didn't make enough cannons.

well.. better to lose the game than be behind in minerals a bit, I guess.

How can anyone ever, EVER, cheer for zergs vs protoss when this is the kind of disgusting play they keep showing over and over?

Not seeing justice prevail like tonight really does break my heart. But that's life, can't ever quit trying even though life is unfair.

How one can ever cheer for zergs.
