And to think that among the games Mini won is a one base two gate, a nexus first, and one game in which he thought things had gone wrong only to then rip Queen's measly 1-0 hydra upgrade to shreds with his 2-1. So much fun watching him consistently crush PvZ with a variety of strats

Omfg. Mini just has Queens number and is living rent free in his mind. That third game, Queen went full tilt with double hydra den.

I don’t think mini vs Larva, Hero or even Soma or Sacsri looks like this. Queen always seems to favor early lair + spires as opposed to Hydra flood. And that was the only game he won even though mini knew what he was doing. Played out very similar to the last 4-1

good day for protoss/mini fans but from a purist stance its disappointing to see zero lacking in the preparation aspect, perhaps perturbed from typically having mini as his practice partner. mini v hero will be a much closer affair at least. or vs rush will be a stern test of his PvT calibre

It’d be really interesting to hear from Zero about why he struggles so much against Mini in ZvP. Seems Mini is able to hit these tricky early game zeal timings that consistently throws Zero off his game.

i'll be rooting for mini in the finals for sure. but imagine if rush won it all. asl12champrush would become his lucky id. and he would've beaten soma, hero (who looks unstoppable in zvp and zvt) and mini (best current protoss) to win. that would be really cool. and then again, i don't have anything against hero. but i want a protoss or terran to win ASL this season. last time protoss won ASL was rain, right? ...

It'd be great to see Mini win (and a Protoss too in an ASL where the maps aren't rigged in their favour). But head tells me either Rush or Hero will take the title. Hero especially looks so good lately.

Great series guys. First game was just GOOD PREPARATION from Mini. He thought out every possible responses by the Zerg and scouted /pressured correctly to mitigate them.

I root for rush for testing Minis pvt. If Mini wins the final again Rush he will be undisputed best protoss.
