Great micro by Rain but I think Soulkey got too excited after he got the run by that he just wanted to take down Rain asap. The correct move would be to run those lings around, poking probes, keeping Protoss busy, instead of a head-on fight with zealots. | ||

 but I can't take away anything from Rain, he played fantastically. Deserved win and there's a higher chance that he keeps on playing now that he's seeded on ASL14 | ||

Regarding his control, it might be ok, but he did still lose some corsairs in one of these games (forgot think 2 or 3) because he was too busy multitasking it seemed... Anyway awesome games. This RO8 was really fun. | ||

This, he wins easily if he keeps those lings alive in the main, gets speed, and forces cannon etc. While droning He saw red and went for it but got hard outmicrod. I feel like Soulkey played relatively poorly compared to what he is capable of this series. | ||

Rain's multitasking throughout the series was also great, always sending out scouting zealots under pressure. Rooting for him in Ro4. | ||

But the next game will be completely different for Rain. Soma is the only seed remaining, he has practice of playing in the semifinal and he is unbeatable in this ASL so far. The guy didn't lose a single game, and he has a chance to keep the record intact while reaching the finals. In fact if Bisu wins the other semi, Soma has a chance to take the title without losing a single game. Don't think this has ever happened in a Starleague. Anyway, I expect Soma vs Light finals and it will probably give some good games. | ||

Idk, I would be pumped for a Rain vs Bisu finals regardless. The two greatest PvP battling it out in a grand final sounds good to me. | ||
