EPTMy brain is still mindfucked by how Light can open 3-port and still just die outright to a muta attack. I need to rewatch that and analyze it because it makes no goddamn sense.

If it was significantly earlier like that, I'd at least have noticed as such on the upcoming events tab, rather than thinking "yep, that's normal enough", and the broadcast would be finished when I tried to look at it and I wouldn't be completely spoiled | ||

Game 2 due to the poor SCV pull to stop the ling runby. Game 4 is due to the M&M being caught by the ling lurkers. The M&M didn't even manage to get a stim off. Ahhh, well. Better finals next time : P Kinda hard to get stim off when you haven't actually completed the research yet  Just good mind games by Queen here, he really countered Light's style well, unfortunately didn't lead to any good games though, although the one Light won was somewhat exciting. | ||

 I must say that the close-by-air spawns on Horizon is absolutely ridiculous, the Zerg can just keep making mutas and T is pinned to their base. At least that's what it looks like from a commoner's perspective. | ||

Congrats to Queen/Zero, that's a player who seemed to really come out of nowhere when it comes to ASL, his level of game sense is very impressive. | ||

I mean, yea in the end it wasn't close, but there were several points in that game where it could have gone another way. After the first 2 failed irridiates I thought Light might be in trouble, but he was not really. That counter from Queen that did absolutely 0 dmg, it seemed like that could have done more (I mean I'm sure it could've). It was not a long game, but it was a game that at least felt like it was really a game and not just a game that could've only gone one way. | ||

Game 2: Edit: Not sure how Zero made it work and why Light was so greedy. Perhaps Light might want to play more greedily because Zero has a strong macro game? Game 4: Somehow Zero knew Light would proxy a factory (someone please tell me, is it common to proxy a factory like that on Match Point?) and punished the Valk play by making it look like a double expand. I admit he got lucky with the close spawn in Game 1 but it's Lights fault for going standard. Game 3 was well played by Light. On April 26 2020 19:50 EsportsJohn wrote: Welp, that was quick.

I don't know about Game 5, perhaps Light made a mistake by suiciding the first 2 wraiths and only making 2 turrents at his nat? I'm so happy for Zero/Queen for changing his style proving his critics wrong! ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/EXgbY13.png) Also check out this amazing vulture rush defense by Zero, using only drones: | ||

Edit: Still, one of the best if not the best ASL I can remember, it only started to go somewhat wrong late in the Ro8 but still, most games were fun. | ||

Zerg favored maps like Match Point, Sylphid or Hitchhiker? | ||

Not spotting any tech in the main certainly gave away that something ought to be up, so he sent Lings to scout around. | ||

So does Light... And many others. For people of their mastery levels to have only one major tournament is very sad in itself. I am happy that Flash moved aside for a bit, some of these pros are starving for a title for cryin' out loud. | ||
