This is what sponbang has been for years too. Zerg is really strong in this game. | ||

Why did we start winning after the recent 'bad times'? | ||

Maps changed to accomodate previous "meta" just when Zergs were figured it out. Though in this case, neither is really relevant to the games today.Well anywho, we got ourself one serious infestation in this iteration of ASL.

Game 2 Snow should have added more cannons and game 3 well it speaks for itself. | ||

I think Flash is actually in trouble against Soma but against Snow i'd put him above I have no faith in his zvz and well soma's zvp clearly looks dangerous. Unless he draws like all terrans on his random that's the only way i see him winning | ||

Soma chose a brilliant spilt map strategy by parking his lurkers at the high ground above the bridges. Once he was set it is extremely hard for Protoss to break out. That strat wouldn't have worked if they played again. Game 2 Snow should have added more cannons and game 3 well it speaks for itself. | ||

g2 I think we can excuse to confusing maps. Had he managed to block the lurkers better, the game would have been quite different. Only one got through, so close enough margins. g3 I see these micro errors happen from time to time. The protoss is in the dark after all, and doesn't want to pull probes unnecessarily. IMO Snow deserved to lose, but not to be called am amateur or anything. He is a player who doesn't do things precisely (apart from reaver control), but is good at strategy and scrappy games. But sometimes imprecision can cost you (g3). | ||

 Anyway best zvp in the world Soma. The question is, how good is his zvz? Flash as a tough opponent now, and I'm happy Soma won this (Snow would have been crashed again by Flash) | ||
