Probably Soma takes it? Depends on whether he chokes and how often Flash gets Terran. Rooting for Soma though, that would inspire other amateurs.

Assume they play 7 games.
Flash's chance to get Terran:
0 games - 5.9%
1 game - 20.5%
2 games - 30.7%
3 games - 25.6%
4 games - 12.8%
5 games - 3.8%
6 games - 0.6%
7 games - 0.05%

Flash would most likely get T 2 or 3 times

The r08 has biased me to expect stomps. I can easily envision either player just big man-ing their way through the other.
Making a prediction either way feels ... awkward. If I do it backwards and try and predict who will lose, it sounds just as wrong.

I hope whoever plays better today wins. I'm a new Soma fan and I want him to do well, but I don't have enough towels to dry my monitor from all the 'zvz finals' crying.

Blind-rawR, you and your thread and timer saved me from missing the semi's. Thank you.

Queen vs Flash(R) would be the best finals matchup I can envision. Followed by Larva vs Flash and then Soma v Queen.
I do not want to see Soma vs Larva.

According to a number of you, there is thought to be difficulty is gaining an advantage RvZ. I have always thought ZvRT and ZvRZ to be hard as hell and that is was very easy to end up in a worse spot. I am interested to see how that plays out.
Especially, if I have literally been approaching the matchup assbackwards for the last 20 years lol.

Flash didn't lose a single game this ASL. Soma definitively has potential to eliminate Flash here, but the question is if he has the nerves.

Definitely thinking this will be Flash's hardest opponent so far for his random. Kinda think Soma might just stomp him. Despite the hype, I think this is where the Random will fall extremely flat, in the RvZ matchup. But I would love to be proven wrong, I'm massively rooting for Flash.

Torn between my daily plan and the time of the ASL I will likely choose to skip ASL and watch the vod later. But it is so exciting to have random Flash vs anybody. Whatever the outcome though, the better player will win so I will be glad no matter what.

online it would be easy stomp for Soma, offline though its almost flip imo..
Flash can easily keep up with Soma early/mid game with P, late game he stand no chance
ZvZ is big edge for Soma, however Flash with 6th sense can easily pull it off.
TvZ is almost a flip, maybe small edge for Flash, but Soma is playing flawlessly recently and his zvt is top-notch

Overall 4:2 for Soma imo.

I get the feeling Soma should be the favorite, but there's so much variance involved here it gets real though to predict anything.

I just want fun games but i have expectations that Souma should win this. Zerg should have the easiest time vs Random Flash.

4-1 or 4-2 with Soma winning i think

If Flash gets too many terrans tho i think he just wins. He will have better time with toss than zerg tho

There is a large consensus on tl, including prominent and strong players, who believe R has the smallest advantage vs Zerg.
I have always felt it incredibly hard to play a 1v1 with a mindset that is both zvz and zvt.

Mirror matchups is usually favor the true race player since practice on mirror matchups happen so much for non-random players. Also zvz requires lots of practice i think cause that is the weirdest mirror in the game

Thanks, yes, it's very interesting, I was leaning towards this as well, however, one can argue that if Flash rolls Z he is in disadvantage, if he rolls T he has an advantage so maybe the entire thing depends on how his PvZ is. So at the end, I have no idea who has the advantage or not.

For those more knowledgeable than me, how much advantage R has against Z compared to the other match ups?

Mirror matchups is usually favor the true race player since practice on mirror matchups happen so much for non-random players. Also zvz requires lots of practice i think cause that is the weirdest mirror in the game


Then again, the results of every 4Z or 3Z group tends to turn out wildly different than people predict (unless TL posters aren't really good in analysing the players and meta )

Flash knew he was playing ZvZ, Soma didn't so he had Bo advantage and just let his macro takeover.

The Random just lets him get the build order advantage so easily, it's kinda sick. And then his macro is literally the best in the world, even though his micro isn't as good it doesn't matter.

Not revealing. They have to scout to know what Flash is playing which is the real advantage of random.

Their advantage over him is that it is random and he has no way to predict his race and also he is a terran player so he is not as good as zerg and protoss

I'm surprised Soma didn't just invest a lot in drones, make spores and eventually catch up in mutas once he realized Flash would get mutas first.

Yeah there was that too. Maybe Soma just felt too confident seeing what was gonna happen and thought he could just outmacro/micro flash

But the BO is decided before the scout. Whatever the case Flash had his spire units over Soma's hatch before Soma's units could pop.

Relax the night is young.

If Flash gets another Z next matchup i feel like he'll just lose.

Flash rushed to spire i think. He got an earlier spire


Yeah, but Soma scouted Flash before Flash tech-ed to lair as well.

Yeah there was that too. Maybe Soma just felt too confident seeing what was gonna happen and thought he could just outmacro/micro flash


yeah Soma knew the lair/gas timing and saw the drone count early. Its on him on miscalculating when muta arrive and being too greedy...

If Soma beats Flash's P and loses to T and Z, we'll have yet another fun thread derailing into ZvP imba

Plasma made ZvZ actually a bit easier because lings aren't a factor there.
Soma is good at ZvP, he should have a fair chance there.
If Flash rolls T, Soma is fucked.

Meh... Flash got kinda lucky rolling ZvZ on Plasma. He probably would've lost on a normal game

4 games later...

OMG! Flash's lings outmaneuvers Soma's lings!

Pretty much. So long as Flash doesn't roll the next potential 6 matches as terran he should not win the series

Ah I missed the start and figured he went 12hatch from where I caught up. Makes sense in that case.

Just like P vs. Snow, it’s another moment when a Flash win seems difficult / nearly impossible. Then he wins in short order. Can’t wait for game 2.

Taking such a risk against an opponent that has to scout early because your random seems to risky.
Same as when he went CC first as terran and lost.

Play something a little less greedy

In ZvZ flash seems to solely rely on getting ahead on build orders so far. Winning two Bo7 in semi finals and possibly finals might be just too much to ask for in that scenario.

soma is squeezing out his academy economy and didn't macro up his 9 o clock base, whereas flash hasnt lost army or SCVs and is growing his bio army + upgrades are coming

if soma doesn't do something (either attack and piercing his defense, or macroing up himself and changing tech) in the next 3-5 mins, flash wins

i mean.. soma should have seen it coming

no one drops 1 dropship so its at least 2 dropships, especially because flash went 2 port wraith

plus its very likely to defense matrix both of them and drop since irradiate wasn't used

flash isn't dumb, if he sees all those sunkens in the natural, he'll find another part of defense to pierce

soma played that poorly against the dropships, should have seen it coming from a mile away

2 port wraith transition had been the same for years... 2 port cloaked wraiths into M&M + vessels into double defense matrix dropships, and zergs ALWAYS lose to it ._.

Soma had a great fast hive build, right? Just bungled on his defence.

First time I've seen a d-matrix timing drop. Has Flash or any other Terran pulled off this maneuver before?

Na Soma can still take games off Flash Terran. Probably has like 40% equity in those games; maybe less if he is nervous offline but he seemed alright last game.

Flash made a sick play threatening the main to draw off his units then pivot to the 9 o'clock.

Flash also fortunate that 2nd dropship at the 9 survived with 1 hp. If he only gets half the marines out that may not have worked nearly as well

Flash hit a tiny window perfectly. The crazy part, is we all saw him scan and see the defiler mound - ultra cavern building.
He aimed and hit that window so well.
Another 20 seconds and Soma may get into a 'forever alive' situation.

"Fortunate" and "luck" can really be defined on all players tho

and soma has little defensive units for that many marines it doesn't matter as that expansion drop will still do damage and his main drop still killed alot even with defense

Flash is also 5-0 against Soma as terran overall. Also i think Soma is losing to non-flash terrans

Omg, that little 1 hp muta separation and escape AND the fact that Flash sent a single stimmed marine to his suicide mission and kill it off, he had to separately click on that one - how good are these guys haha

So we need flash to roll 2 more protoss and Soma going 1-1 against it then have an epic decider

tho honestly i was hoping a full z/p the entire series for flash just to milk the random run as much as possible

that hidden base allowed soma to stay relevant despite losing some economy and tech at his main, and was able to continue making ultras to defend while he didn't have defiler mound

Is it the additional strain of playing random or how come Flash's play seems off in several occasions? Still a lot of awesome moves but just more mistakes than you'd expect.

see this is what i hate about zergs and their robotic play

flash was SUPER behind, instead of building extra hatcheries at the 3rd base (as per normal gameplay), soma could have EASILY gotten ahead with building 1 at 12 oclock instead and securing 4 bases

urgh

yep and zergs can build buildings under it (stackabe, with creep). so you can build a creep colony there without need for building a hatchery first, or build nydus canal to quick expand

It didnt really matter since after 2 Stargate and 8+ sairs he didn't have the econ to get up to 7/8 gate on 2 base and power up a proper ground push. He has zero goons.

Flash probably needed to slip in some DTs and do some econ damage to win that but with the map and the way the bases are positioned you don't have many places to slip in a dt without a shuttle

Dam. Was hoping for T here obv.

Flash might have a better chance ZvZ than PvZ though honestly just given the nature of the matchup

Kinda expected really, random is weakest vs Zerg and Flash wasn't really going to beat Soma's PvZ or ZvZ.

But all the best to Soma even though it's a ZvZ, his work ethic seems absolutely top notch and I'll be rooting for him in the finals!

Considering Flash has to prepare so many matchups, it's no surprise that his Terran play suffers. He may still have a 55% edge against Soma's Zerg. The odds were against him progressing.

This was a very fun series. Also the rolls was fair (2 T over 6 games is exactly the expected value).
As I expected Flash Z/P was not enough to beat Soma.

Anyway, we will have more Flash on the small final vs Larva/Queen (Larva most probably).

Fuck yeah Soma.

It has been so exciting watching his rise. You don't get more street cred then defeating Flash in a bo7.

Soma vs Queen plz universe!

Welp, last hope for non-Zerg champion died. Already waiting for ASL11 and meanwhile I hope Soma wins the whole thing, he's incredibly good. If it's a Zerg, better be him.

Really glad to see Soma win, watching him stream the past few weeks has made me respect him a lot for his hard work. He's got a really pretty style. Could tell he was SUPER nervous this match.

Hoping for finals against Larva, I think it'll be an exciting matchup.

Soma's been fighting his way to the top for a while now so this was a well-deserved finals spot. Shame that Flash had to go out in some sloppy games and end the Random dream, but that was one of the most entertaining runs in ASL history.

As I expected Flash Z/P was not enough to beat Soma.

Anyway, we will have more Flash on the small final vs Larva/Queen (Larva most probably).

Larva may not have top notch control but he's a great strategist, would love to see him prepare against random, he could definitely bring some weird stuff.

It'll be an uphill climb for Larva trying to take out Zero, but he looked pretty good against Soulkey. I'd like to see Larva take it all and win the entire tourney now that Flash is in the 3rd/4th place match.

Flash was really all-ining in every one of his games at some point.

It was quite disappointing to see him lose a tvz he should win, and try to allin zvz twice. But on the other side you have to give Soma that he was quite lucky with his openings.

12h vs Flash T on Eclipse, vs exp
9pool speed vs P on that new map, vs 1 gate zealots
9pool no speed vs 3h before pool
1st scout against masslings - didnt really see that game fully, but I think it was like that.

Arguably against random and what not could have came out of that random, those are 3 perfect blind build choices, so you can say quite lucky, or quite well played and mindgamed.

Hype was bigger than the games, but still enjoyable - as per unpredictable what will happen.

Guess Zero will get the second title in a raw. At least it looks like his zvz is the best out of the 3 zergs.

ahhh TT Flashhh!! That 2nd time drawing terran and not getting the win.. . All respect to Soma, hope he wins the season (or papa-Z Larava^^) but I feel that I could see some of the toll it takes on practicing that many different mu's. The 2nd tvz Flash's handling and unit control slipped a bit (for his standards) losing vessels too fast, not capitalizing on the fast +1 move out.. not scouting the hidden base, If he'd won that game it might have turned out differently. But anyhow I think soma had flash's number in both the vs p game and vs z in the end. gg's
Waiting for that flash vs xx 3rd/4th >.<

Congrats Soma!
Even though we only have ZvZ left... You have to be happy for the guy, and realize how important this moment is for him.

Anyway, with ZvZ the only way to go is up because most of us expect very little of it, that even one long match could be very exciting. Crossing my fingers that we'll get to see that rare mix of red tatoos, green goo and purple haze.

now we have ZvZ final for sure

great.. ZvZ is literally the worst match up (for me at least and for 99% of bw gamers I know)

I couldnt have cared less who wins despite for the fact that with soma winning we have a certain ZvZ final

bummer

the PvZ on Ringingbloom definitely showed that flash PvZ is great btw.. he ALMOST made it kinda close despite LOSING his nexus..

GGs overall and better series than the ZvPs before.. I will.. probably not watch the final live.. and maybe not watch it at all... as ZvZ is super super boring overall (unless it is played on super crazy maps..and 1/500 zvzs is special on normal maps)

No offence, but some ppl calling this series a disappointment because of the games' quality ("unexpectedly low") don't seem to weight enough the fact that Flash plays random... You couldn't expect top games, the thrill came from the insane challenge that guy put on himself, imo. Even his Tv should suffer a bit from not knowing whether he even draws it or not.
I really enjoyed how much suspense there was at every game's start until everyone knew what race he rolled, and until Soma figured it out. That brought s.th. fresh to broadcasted top-lvl BW.

I think we saw that Flash does relatively (RELATIVELY) poor in certain finicky-tricky situations that the different matchups provide, like that poor zealot handling on the ramp in the PvZ or his scourge-micro in game 1, his ling micro in the last game.
Given those at this point unsurmountable disadvantages, due to a sheer lack of experience/familiarity, it's amazing what he does just with the knowledge he accquired in all matchups and with his tactical decision making. (edit: and his macro across all matchups... we almost take that as a given...) Obviously we would see some gambles or risky builds like in his 2nd and 3rd ZvZ to try and exploit the random-advantage.

Me for my part, I was entertained throughout.

Nice touch, BLinD-RawR, with the banner having three drones and a die.

Soma withstood great pressure. Losing 1:2 and playing against Flash Terran, ended winning that game. I lost my nerves after Flash dropped Soma's main.

As someone mentioned, this could be better for Flash - not winning another title right away. It may motivate him to play more.

Good luck to Soma in the finals. Queen already has a title, I wish Larva could do well, too.

Very well played from both players. Game 4 was a bit sloppy from Flash, but other than that I think he played really well considering the build orders.

A lot of Flash's build is very calculated risk, and in this case, it just didn't work out especially for game 2 and game 6. I would say game 6 is really the only lucky bo win that soma had, the others he just won the mind game. Soma showed some really strong games.

Damn, I'm a Flash fan so I'm probably a little biased, but I feel that Random took away from Flash's ability to show good games. I hope he just mains P if he wants to keep off-racing. Even though he lost G5, how he was recovering after his mistakes early on was pretty impressive. I feel he didn't get enough of a chance to show his PvZ skills. But I'm happy for Soma, I'm a fan of his too, and he's truly a top Zerg and I hope he wins the whole thing.

ahhh that last game was so underwhelming

g1 - very funny to see flash's muta micro
g2 - my brain not big enough to understand 3 hatch before pool in ZvZ
g3 - this is the destruction i'm used to seeing
g4 - a little sloppy w/ the scourge hits, but soma really penetrated flash's mineral line so effectively
g5 - idk soma is just in insane form
g6 - at least we got to see a headshake from soma, and also hands off keyboard at the end.

What an amazing treat this series offered! Soma is beastly, Flash as well - stunning skill with all the races.
ZvZ finals or not, I am thrilled to watch them all. BW offers the greatest entertainment for me, nothing compares to it.

Soma played an amazing series. He doesn’t make a lot of obvious mistakes which is very impressive. It’s strange to see new blood deserving of a finals spot.

Flash, on the other hand, had a handful of mistakes in that series. It look like his hands couldn’t do everything his brain wanted him to do. The missed nexus cancel in game 5 was probably the biggest noob mistake I’ve seen Flash Make since he returned to SC1. I hope next season he doesn’t have the same physical or mental issues that stalled him in this series.

In the second ZvZ, I was surprised flash didn't run around with his drones, but chose to pick a fight with the zerglings.
When he engaged Soma's lings, Flash had 13 drones, his pool was ~12 seconds from finishing, and he had 156 minerals in the bank.
Why not just run around the base with the drones, and wait for 6 lings to hatch? That seems like definitely a better choice than to just fight straight up and suffer heavy losses.

Maybe he overestimated the drones strenght, being a T player and being accustomed to the SCVs.

Amazing series. The two TvZs were great, the ZvZs were fun mind games, and Flash got to show that he's one of the best PvZers in the world right now. He countered the mutas with the double stargate, killed a ton of overlords and almost came back after losing his natural against a guy who eats Protoss for breakfast.

I was very pleased with Flash’s games. The fact that he lost the tiebreaker means he has potential to go even further the next season. I think the real highlight is gonna be the 3rd/4th match. Watching Flash vs Best will be awesome. Who cares about stinking ZvZ finals.

it's not the fact that one player played under kespa contract while other didnt
it's the fact that one players has countless COUNTLESS televised games(i'd say flash has ~1k of them at this point?) while other is a newcomer.
Nerves, comfort, tilt are a real factor in games of this level, and you can't just discount EXPERIENCE, whatever you may feel about their skill level.

What do you mean Flash vs Best? They will not play for 3rd/4th place. 3rd/4th place match will be Flash vs loser of Larva vs Queen. Best did not make it to Ro4 so he can not be in the 3rd/4th place match.

Not sure if the 2nd sentence is ironic or not but the thought that Flash is not great already as-is but an upcomer who wanted to attain greatness and got close but failed with this Ro4 loss and now he's just has-been average joe again, this thought process made me laugh hard.

ahhh that last game was so underwhelming

g1 - very funny to see flash's muta micro
g2 - my brain not big enough to understand 3 hatch before pool in ZvZ
g3 - this is the destruction i'm used to seeing
g4 - a little sloppy w/ the scourge hits, but soma really penetrated flash's mineral line so effectively
g5 - idk soma is just in insane form
g6 - at least we got to see a headshake from soma, and also hands off keyboard at the end.

g2 - Due to map distance, 9 pool is rare on this map and 12 hatch is the standard build here. 3 hatch before pool was a calculated gamble guessing that Soma was going 12 hatch, but Soma also made a calculated gamble and guessed Flash was going for econ cheese due to the map and went 9 pool. The build was a huge risk for Soma in that he would most likely be behind had Flash gone for any other build.

Suprising how even progamers were so sure Flash winning even when Soma has been so on point and practicing without streaming. I enjoyed games (except game 2). Soma was on point!


The other top players actually thought Flash was favored here?

To be fair if he wins the second TvZ he is heavily favored to advance

Stupid picks, stupid players. Ask any one of them if Flash is favored against Soma in ZvZ and PvZ.


What a great contributing post! When you are going to win ASL?


There must be a reason why they think so. Maybe Flash had something more planned. I am pretty sure he practiced with most of these guys.


Yes the reason is that korean pros always favor other pros over amateurs even when it doesn't make sense = stupid.


So Free and Hero are not korean pros? So easy to call the great players of this game stupid when you cannot mantain simple coherence for more than two posts, I guess.

I just gained a lot of respect for Hero and Free. Now I might even consider adding them to my team in the next Teamliquid Fantasy Proleague, or liquipedia bracket contest. I will be really excited when it starts, and I can start choosing my team; it is really fun.

This was a pretty great series. I would've loved to see the benzene game go for longer, but the 2 TvZs were really entertaining and the one on Optimizer really showed Flash's decision making and calmness. Soma was in such a great position and within minutes, he was picked apart. Flash was a bit sloppy with his vessels in the Eclipse game and felt like Soma in the ZvP losing all those overlords. Still, good fun all around!

I'm not sure about smash because tbf, Soma has improved greatly from the last ASL where he was smashed by Light. Granted, there is a chance that Flash would try to play mind games like he tried against ZerO in the last ASL and lose as a result or he'll just straight up smash Soma haha.
