hype. imo the best zvpers are hero, soma and zero. this will be a true test for mini. will zero adapt from the previous series and move on for a chance at his third ASL title? or will we get mini vs. either rush or hero, either of which would be exciting because hero's zvp is looking really strong right now.

mini hwaiting! pls show dazzling zealot micro and good mindgames. and don't die to hydra busts.

Can't wait. I expect Zero will adapt from before and destroy Mini. Probably 3-1. Will be very excited if it's not the case. I think we won't see mutalisks/scourge made early. It will be a very macro focused hydra into lurker from Zero.

lol mini saying queen isn't good at being aggressive. He clearly is just saying this because he doesn't want to deal with early aggression.

Absolutely right about the spire. I expect Zero wont use any spire based builds. Not saying he won't use a spire early but he wont make more than a couple pairs of scourge.

Notice how closely Mini was watching his probe at the natural until he knew it was too late for a hatch timing. He was completely prepared to block the hatch to force what queen was already doing, making a hatch at the third. Everything Mini prepared worked perfectly. From the timing of sneaking the first zealot out just past the overlord to the exact timing of his 2nd and 3rd zealots blocking his ramp. Incredible. Great game from Mini.

Just a little mistake when he let those zerglings to sneak in even if he had 3 zelots defending the ramp

but his plan was perfect !

I remember that in ASL11 zero helped mini prepare for the finals against larva (saw in one of jinjin's nice translated videos!)

very awesome moment! I wonder if mini beats zero and hero beats rush if zero would help mini again

Really surprised Zero went for a muta build. Also surprised mini isnt reacting with a 2nd stargate like in season 11 ;;
Now that I think about it. Unlike last season he didnt have any scouting info on the spire timing or second gas?

Mini's army was just in terrible position...just below the high ground. If he had the army up further where the hydras had to come up from the low ground to fight him he might have held. If he was ready and in position he would've had a smaller area to storm and would've seen them coming earlier. Much easier to react if you're on high ground and can see them coming of course

Disagree. The move was good. However, maybe a better follow up would be to continue massing units and delay his own third nexus. A high gateway fully saturated protoss can fight very well against 3 base zerg. Especially with the third being a low mineral count base.

Yea, he used them right when I said that. Glad he didnt do the terrible thing of just leaving them in place to die to mutas(or hydras in other games) when they come out.

A classic moment. But killing a lurker is sooo much easier. They don't move Sadly in this game as it turns out, the killing of the dt didn't matter at all. It was still a nice moment.

I think Zero likes to take the 3rd mineral base as a quick boost because youll need macro hatches anyways. Can use that for extra minerals to take the gas bases and still maintain nice army production.

Yes this absolutely seems to be a 9/7/3 and think its the best game play for him. He should've been doing it all series.

Well clearly I'm wrong I think mini will hold this hydra though....just barely...

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.

Mini is the best protoss in the world right now. The way he dispatched ZerO it didn't even look close. He really deserves an ASL win.

History has an interesting way of repeating itself. Sublime play from Mini.

The similarities to Bisu are amazing.

SSL - Bisu went undefeated versus 5-2 versus Zerg defeating Larva and then Zero in semis only to lose to hero 0-3.
VANT SL - Bisu went undefeated versus Larva, Kawnro, and Bale and then lost to Effort 1-3 in the finals.

A bit crazy to think that Mini repeated the same feat with the exact same score again. He seems to have vZ figured out to some degree, and it's fantastic seeing him pull out all these different strategies. He made ZerO seem helpless in most games. Well done Mini. Rough for ZerO, but it didn't seem like he varied his playstyle much from the last ASL so that was on him.

I mean you're probably brutalizing literally every other protoss. Mini's vZ is just that ridiculous and out of step with everyone else.

Mini needs to win the finals to get the credit he deserves.

Indeed. He's made the finals of ASL twice (ASL7 and ASL11), and got a 4th finish in ASL5. This doesn't include Ro8 appearances etc... either. I would love to see him play other Zergs. We know he can beat ZerO and he came close to beating Larva last ASL. What about Soma or Soulkey? I think that would add more "legitimacy" to his vZ. It's a bit sad though that the finals had to be+ Show Spoiler +
between Mini and Rush. I would love for both of them to win ASL so I'm going to both love and hate the ending of this one.

I'm torn up about this one too. I think I'm rooting for Mini but after Rush's ro4 I think Rush might be the current best player on earth.

Mini and Soulkey played a best of 9 in Ultimate Battle recently which you can see here. It's not quite the same as offline though.
If in doubt, differentiate and set equal to zero
