Rush playing quite well. His macro is on point, the multi prong attacks hitting the 3rd/4th and the natural along with a drop at the main after containing hero most of the game was pretty sick.

Looks like hero may end up winning this game from the looks of it. Rush's rallies made him lose quite a lot of bio, that and he ended up losing a few too many science vessels to irradiate lurkers and defilers while leaving his vessels undefended from scourge.

That is one of the most impressive TvZ ever, Rush just beat 4 gas Zerg with sheer multitasking, 380 APM over 30 mins, no need for BCs or Tanks

Damn, this really is the best possible finals outcome. Both players haven't showcased the PvT matchup yet. It's going to be incredibly hard for them to prepare. Great play by Rush. He looked like Light used to when he torched Zergs in the Kespa era.

Rush played perfect game, everything he did was top level. FlaSh level macro, multitasking, distractions, timing and decision making. He's living up to his name, The Future Terran, ASL12CHAMPRush incoming.
We couldn't ask for better finals, a bit pity for herO but whoever wins I'll be happy.

Gotta agree, i don't think i ever seen anything like this before. When terran wins with MM its usually because he already had commanding lead before late game or some good drops or some fancy tech switch or just gets lucky with one nydus snipe, neither of these things were the case here. In straight fights MM just doesn't cut it against full tech zerg, but Rush makes it work anyway like some Chuck Norris from the meme, he just doesn't give a fuck. Extremely impressive. And all of this while it's complete zerg domination all around the scene, they never been as strong as now.
Bless the machine god, for he has given us tanks in plenty

I'm pretty confident Rush is going to dumpster mini. Perhaps 4-1 or 4-0. Mini's PvT is just pretty shaky to imo and even in situations where he has a huge advantage (games 1 and 2 vs Sorry), he seems to have difficulty closing it out cleanly. That's just not going to cut it against Rush.

No disrespect to Hero but Rush outclassed him. Hero was playing out of his mind but couldn't keep his bank down because rush was just keeping the pace too high. I still can't believe Rush pulled out game 5...I thought he was definitely going to lose. Only lost the weird 1-1-1 game. Rush is easily no 2 if not no 1 Terran right now. Either way it was going to be tough for Mini but I really don't like his chances against Rush.

That last game was so good.

Great play from Rush all around. Hero will be kicking himself after that. He got himself into a good position in a few of those games and made a bad error at a critical time to give it away.

We couldn't ask for better finals, a bit pity for herO but whoever wins I'll be happy.


let's not get carried away. Flash was a 3x asl winner and held #1 elo spot for 3 years on sponbbang. Rush only managed to hit #1 elo for like 2 days and is still now top 5~8.

With FlaSh level I only meant about macro not everything. You gotta agree, his macro was impressive all along - just look at reinforcements and whenever obs showed his base all his rax were non-stop flashing.

On the protoss side, I feel like 6 months ago, snow or best would have been favored against Rush. Do you think that's still the case? In any case, I think Rush is a sizeable favorite against mini.

Rush is a favorite because Mini's TvP is not up to par with his other matchups. That's the primary focus over here.

Snow and Best are both favored against Rush, ONLINE. Rush is like 35-40% against them in 2021. Best regularly crushed him on stream tbh. Surprisingly Rush is also only 47% or so against Mini.

All of them Protoss are expected to choke when it comes to offline tourneys though.

Rush is getting pretty close to Flash. His TvZ isn’t quite as good but his TvP is getting there. His macro is insane, but he should learn to play defensively more like Flash, who is a master of calculated aggression. I don’t watch TvT but apparently rush is pretty good at that too

Wow rush was the man. His multitask is insane. Worried for mini.

Rooting for Mini. It will be a good series. More experience vs less experience.

Not sure if I want to root for Legend of the Fall or ASL12ChampRush. Both finalists have been playing their asses off slaying the best zergs in the world. What other Protoss would be favoured against Zero in a BoX let alone win ezpz 4-1? Likewise, Hero made Light look like a noob and yet Rush just straight up obliterated both Hero and Soma. Should be a close series either way; Mini and Rush are 57-57 in their last 114 sponbangs and 8-8 in the past two months.

Interesting tidbit: last season, we were 1 game away (if Rush won his last set against Larva) from having the exact same semifinals bracket as this season. And once again we have a Zero vs Hero 3rd place match .

Late to the Rush hype train, but wow, his TvZ games are absolutely mind-blowing!

I can understand the Flash-esque vibes. His sharp sense of timing has shades of Flash's star-sense of turning the tide when Zerg is in ascendancy.*

Really hoping for the Legend of the Fall to be fulfilled. So I'm torn between Mini and Rush.

But the best news is already in - no more Zerg scum!

* None of the other post-KeSPA Terrans give me the same chills of Flash. Not even Light (who's super solid but seems to lack that extra touch of instinct and genius)

Last game was a nail-biter. You couldn't really tell who was going to win, herO was fighting well, also killing almost all the vessels. But Rush kept it together, he regrew the vessel numbers and achieved successful ereasers. Missing the burrow was crucial, but the fact that Rush just played mass MM and won against hive tech zerg with exceptional macro and multitask, not even incorporating drops, shows superior technical ability.

This series was fantastic in the sense that Rush really pushed hero to the limit and gave us a classic TvZ series. I noticed several games where hero would be floating 1k minerals while having to fend off all kinds of attacks on the map. On that point, the hyper aggression of Rush was so great. He's been winning me over during this run, and his macro is on point as well. I only recall an instance where he floated a bit of money, but otherwise, his game was solid. That last game was probably one of the best TvZs I've seen this year, ranks right up there. I got spoiled a bit and figured by 2/3rd of the way in that Rush will take it, but hero made him work for it.

Only thing disappointing from hero was that it felt like he didn't want to adjust from his 12 hatch 12 pool 12 extractor build. I could be wrong, but he didn't bother with any early pools despite knowing that Rush has a hyper aggressive playstyle. Either way, congrats to Rush! I wouldn't go to the point of calling him a Flash equivalent, but he's a rising Terran player, and imo, the best Terran atm (Light and Sorry are still good). Imagine if Rush actually beats Mini (this might be tough only because Mini is crafty, even if his PvT isn't his best), and wins several ASLs back to back lol. The Protoss and Zerg dream would end

Talk of Rush getting close to Flash is just absurd, especially in TvP. Right now he's getting demolished by Best on stream. Granted it's more of a practice session, but still, the score so far is 9-2 to Best. Flash wouldn't.

I think he just hit his form during this ASL plus a favorable bracket.
