With Best washing our ro24 and snow ro16 (although he was in a tough group), it's hard to say protoss are looking great. | ||

Protoss looking great these days I don't think Protoss in general are looking great as a race, it's more like Mini knows how to win a BO7. It's funny that he beat Rush in a series (it could have ended 4-1) but Snow and Best, who are both stronger in PvT, both crashed out against Rush in the wildcard qualifier. Mini really pulled out all the dirtiest builds of Protoss today. He knows he can't play late game PvT with Arbiter and Gateway units. So, 2 base Carrier all the way and a proxy 99 here and there. I'd imagine Artosis having a hard time casting this finals (12 Nexus cross spawn omg omg...). | ||

LEGEND OF THE FALL! LEGEND OF THE FALL! LEGEND OF THE FALL! LEGEND OF THE FALL! :D Rough for Rush, but Mini was just a step ahead with preparation. Bringing it back and almost reverse sweeping was great in itself though it can be debated if that would've been possible had Mini not tilted lol. From my understanding, this whole 2 base carrier build was shut down by Flash back in ASL6, because Mini tried the same stuff on Transistor etc.. and got smacked at the time, so will have to see how this build differs from that though I recall Flash doing a similar timing. Congrats to Mini! Finally a Protoss champion and in a season where the maps don't heavily favour Protoss too! On November 07 2021 13:37 BLinD-RawR wrote: shut up bigfan. shut up BLinD-RawR.

The Scouts were amazing! Rush did a great job. Exciting season for him. I hope he'll be back. I can't imagine what the nerves must have been like for both players in game 7. Stork was right all along. Carriers are the way. Just because Flash is a hard counter to carriers, that doesn't mean they're not the way :D | ||

ASL 7 KSL 3 ASL 11 And finally... However, I feel a bit sad for Rush. Few years ago everyone was like "ASLxCHAMPRUSH lol" and now was almost a reality. He skyrocketed his level so much that is insane. | ||

Carriers carries the legend of the fall once again. i mean this probably explains how he did really well against the shuttle storm style mini tried in game 2. However Best is a very very different toss from Mini. | ||

Maybe Bisu (in general) would be the most similar? or Stork in PvT for the heavy oriented Carrier style? idk | ||

Also, thanks Scan and Nyoken for such fantastic commentary all season, I always feel I'm learning something new listening to you guys, you're both so insightful and your play-by-play is great too, many thanks and keep up the good work. I'll be rooting for Scan in ASL 13!! | ||

Re: preparation - against Mini it would be the same kind as you'd do against Shine (if Shine actually practiced a lot) | ||

I'm really impressed with Mini. He knows his own weaknesses and planned around them super well. I honestly didn't think he was likely to win in his worst matchup against such a strong player, but he pulled it off. Rush didn't look bad either—we'll see if ASL13CHAMPRUSH can happen. | ||
