I'd like to see Soma win to see some FvZ in the semis, but I am sort of feeling Snow, this could have easily been a grand finals match though. | ||

Agreed, Soma and Snow are both potential finalists imo. And FvZ would be sick. I really want to see how Flash plays PvZ | ||

Now we have Soma. He can play copypasta 2 hat muta like a monster, he has top tier micro and he spends considerable energy mapping unique strategic plays. He has a little bit of Queen, a little bit of Jaedong and a little bit of Action. I predict Soma wins and that we have a 5 game match, if optimzer or plasma are played. Snow has played this ASL very shakily. Free who is recently back into the big leagues had him on the ropes, Flash beat him rather handedly pvp and overall, this hasn't been his event for him to show his best play. That said, he has showed the most heart of anyone. Despite shaky play, he has made incredible comebacks, in the process playing the best pvp of 2020. Snow isn't here because he is playing like the number one protoss, he is here because he has a champions heart. If I have learned one thing in 20 years of watching professional bw, it is that heart counts. While I predict Soma wins, and admit that top level ZvP on some of these maps looks very good for the swarm, I can't be shocked if Snow pulls out the (imo) upset. If Snow brings his full skills to bear in this match, then my prediction would be different, but his play in this ASL has been more about emotional strength and toughness and less about excellence. The biggest advantage Snow has in this match, is his ability to maintain composure in protracted underdog situations, if he is able to drag out one long win, we have no proof that Soma can keep his composure on the biggest stages. Not doubting him, but you aren't a champion, until you are. Looking forward to see the bleeding edge of ZvP and more than rooting for a Soma victory, I am rooting for a god damn entrenched war. Edit - Thanks for the thread Blind-rawR. | ||

I really want to see how Flash plays PvZ I don't know how to find it, but he played a PvZ match with queen online this week. G1, Flash does a giant two base attack, loses horribly. Looks terrible. Just looked bad. G2, Flash completely crushes Queen in a standard PvZ with no gimmicks. It was the most perfect PvZ I have seen in 2020. He crushed him so bad, queen stopped playing with him, and bw for the day. Queen when viewing the replay, noticed that flash killed him with exactly perfect probe saturation on three bases. They both streamed, so it was a fantastic two monitor experience. Sorry I can't locate the games, but the korean language youtube channels are hard to wade threw. | ||

I found the g2, but it will be way less impactful without seeing how badly flash lost the game before. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JjPzqDKml4 Edit- same video as posted right above me. Here is the same game from Queen POV, www.youtube.com | ||
