Wow, Phil must've lost a huge bet. Unfortunate turn of events for him.

Looking forward to that Mini vs Larva finals.


nah just the mixture of losing a liquibet + super boring match up with ZvZ coming up is a big bummer

I would say it is worst matchup for Larva and coinflippy for Hero. Online stats favor Hero 44-32 but Larva can suprise with his momentum.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure zvz is larva's worst matchup.

ASL10: Larva knocked out in RO4 by Z
ASL9: Larva knocked out in RO8 by Z
ASL8: Larva knocked out in RO16 Groups by Z and T
KSL2: Larva knocked out in RO8 by Z

So yeah, zvz does NOT favor Larva in decisive matches. Still rooting for my boy!

Entertaining games. Good job by Larva, experience pays off. Rush really havent proven himself in offline tournaments yet.

rush holds on to his vessels really well but was just positionally outplayed in the games he lost. hopefully he will have better map presence in the future.

Ok either Rush is like literally the worst in terms of decision making of all Pros out there or he threw this game..

So ur telling me a Ro8 Top pro.. is running with 2,5 control groups of units to the left side of the map to an expansion with the narrowst of entrances on the map vs a zerg with nydus, lurker, defiler, dark swarm and at the same time doesnt scout the middle for backstabs


Holy shit that is some next level stuff..

what the hell

Rush just felt the pressure. No way he plays this tight and uninspired in an online match.

Huge props to Larva though, he just threw the kitchen sink at him whenever he felt he got a bit behind.
Larva is a bit of a headcase but you can't fault him for not being creative and thinking outside of the box.

Rush just needs a big breakthrough to calm off the high that comes from peoples expectations of him becoming a Flash replacement.

I liked overall Larva's decision making while Rush seemed he was out of touch many games, like he could win this series if he defended more.
I think Larva is going to get sniped by zerg again, his muta control is less superior compared to herO, I'm not even going to compare with ZerOs.

Mini has choked so many times that BBC I wonder if he might clutch up. Well it is Zero so probably not. Maybe Mini can play well for the third place match.

Larva has been a total beast in zvz since about a year now, and your stats mean nothing. ASL9&10 Larva lost to ZerO and... ZerO.

I think Mini shouldn't feel any pressure, he's the clear underdog and he has everything to gain and nothing to lose. He can play whatever strats he feels give him a reasonable chance and not worry too much if he fails early in the match. I think he should focus most of his efforts on games 3-5, because if he somehow gets a chance to close out the match he should try not to squander the opportunity mindlessly. Nothing feels worse than trying so hard to get so far but in the end it doesn't even matter.
Queen is the one who should be working hard to make sure every single one of his strats is planned to perfection.

Larva vs hero will slightly favor Larva imo. Just my personal bias, I don't know enough about hero.
If you want to do the right thing, 80% of your job is done if you don't do the wrong thing.

I literally facepalmed when Rush "rushed" into defeat in game 5. He was probably thinking "I can't lose, I'm the ASL champion lolz". Great series overall but that anticlimactic floundering was spectacularly disappointing, especially considering the tournament context.

Let's go Mini!!! Save us from another ZvZ finals!
