Hoping for a fun and exciting series! Expecting Light to take it.

Odd that Hitchhiker is the last map, though I guess if it gets that far we should just be prepared for a weird game!

What I love about Light are the limits his mechanical ability allow him to push. He plays standard, yet he plays it so well--and mixes it up just enough--that he's always forcing you to play just as reactive and optimally to keep up, and he's ruthless at attempting to take small leads into substantial gains via decisive BOs.

His two-startport builds have been lethal all year. It's been used enough to be exposed by the Finals, though. I'll be wondering if Light busts it out, and if he does, if Zero is completely prepared or not.

Instead, will he bring out a new surprise-in-its-decisiveness-but-completely-logical build? Not new new, as he's not that kind of player, but new as in recycling an old version of something, maybe putting in a tweak.

ZerO, to be sure, is absolutely devastating vT (and vP). Is it my imagination or has he, too, become more decisive in attempting to stretch small advantages into larger ones? A lack of this killer instinct is, imo, what always held these two back. Being decisive also has the benefit of putting more stress on mechanical ability than psychological stress, which is a benefit to two previous habitual chokers. (However, the bias Light fan in me would argue Light does not choke so much as simply get outclassed. ZerO, chubby cheeks be damned, chokes.)

That's my Light-focused preview. Anyone wanna counter with s ZerO-focused preview? 🤣

Without a massive live audience watching (as there's no audience this time around), I'm hopeful that neither player will have too much trouble with nerves. Now of course, the anxiety of offline play has more to do with the high stakes than the perception of being watched, but the latter can have a huge impact as well.

That being said I love both Zero and Light and won't be surprised if we get one of the most entertaining finals of all time out of this.

Excited to see either player win, but i'll be cheering for Light. He's put out stellar games in the last 12 months and I'd like to see him cap it off with an ASL trophy

Youtube stream will be available, but the link is different every broadcast. Search youtube for ASL starcraft stream once the event begins.

Hopefully they both play well. I'm hoping Zero wins to prove these guys wrong!

Please send me a PM of any song you like that I most probably never heard of! I am looking for people to chat about writing and producing music | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noD-bsOcxuU |

Both of these guys are 30 which is kinda old for progamer age, both didn't win any major league (if you don't count Light's recent KSL victory) and one of them gonna lift the trophy today/tonight. Which shows you can achieve everything if you train hard. Hope they deliver best matches of this season.

P.S.: Writing from phone no electricity FML this is so great! Guess gonna watch VOD later.
