Only caught the last two games but really really exciting and amazing play from Light.

Hopefully someone will subtitle the Flash commentary on one of those games!

That was a sick series. This ASL has officially won me over. It ranks up there as one of the best tournaments in BW history too. The only thing it lacks is a finals heroic storyline, although Zero winning it all would be pretty emotional.

Happy to see Light doing so well lately. He has been one of those guys who has been around forever but never could quite get over the hump due to his horrendous TvP. Now that he’s figured it out he’s getting some great results.

I think the first 3 games really demonstrated soma's crazy aggro and inexperience. His lack of scourge to deal with the dropships and vessel count was really lackluster. To relate, obviously no Zerg will ever reach peak JD form, but JD would've smacked those 2 drops with 6 lings and 2 pairs of scourge, and defended the 3rd base to prevent the break. Soma's weak point this series can easily be fixed and I have no doubt he will have the scariest TvZ. He really understands the ins and outs of utilizing mutalisk pressure which allowed him to be so greedy with his fast 3rd knowing Light has no chance to attack.

Game 4, wow what a game. Yeah, Soma's fatal error was not killing the starport and instead going after the barracks. Either that or he should've tried to snipe the CC. But overall this game was amazing and Light's valk micro is way better than FlaSh's.

8k on YT stream + 26k on twitch during this semis, impressive!


Easily 40k more combined viewing from Flash/JD/Bisu and others.

so how many all in all? around 80k?

that would be just crazy numbers..

very cool

About 160K viewers just watched the semi-finals the day before yesterday online, and the game today should be 120K at most

What?

Well I thought your second post in Ro8 group D thread was "fuck protoss", I hoped to find something similar here too. But I checked the thread again and found it wasn't there. My apologies.


Here you go, my man.

Thanks, I thought I made it up.

Sad to see Soma lose, but he will learn from this and become even stronger.

Anyone else notice that soma was shivering at the end of game1? His hand was shaking like crazy

I didn't notice now. But after he beat Bisu, he said he was so nervous that he almost threw up during the last game. And his hands were shaking throughout the interview.

Agreed. Game 1 he got whooped simply because of his dropship defense. The middle of the map was well contested by both sides until the drops. And Soma not getting the starport was killing me in that last game. If he could relive that game I'm sure he could close it out properly. Also, like you said, Light's valk sliding was just sick. I love how he micro-d two groups of two so efficiently.

Light really did look S-class from the games I watched. Light against Zero is going to be action packed. Light might be able to win the championship. Perhaps just Flash had an off day. If Light plays well that day he could easily win where Flash failed.

Game 3 was excellent. Basically, as day9 would say about tvz in general, just an allocation problem, but chosim didn't have the right defense in the right places and didn't have the right attacks in the right places. Really incredible to watch Light play like that.
