Let's go, Shine! You gotta win at least 1 game to show your worth for making it into Ro8.

I'm hoping for a 3-2 either way. If I interpret BD correctly that means Shine will have to win the first 2 games for that to happen.

Greedy by Shine to both have a late queens nest and also pump drones. At that point it was a must to force at least another scan along the way after he sniped the 1st vessel successfully, which he didn't do :/

I think he wanted to force another scan but he had no room anymore in the back for those lurkers, and RoyaL played it perfectly

I mean after that great damage to the main with mutas it is kinda of disrepectful to drone when you know it is close spawn and 5rax +1. I do think that was more Shine's fault than Royal's brilliance.

I won't be rooting for Shine for a while anymore. That was an abysmal Ro8 performance
The overall decision making based on his intel was just inexcusable.

I more blame the ASL format for the group selection. it's way too easy for the champion to stack his group with the 3 worst players, resulting in one making it to the ro8 and wasting a match.

His gamestyle was like he was playing Ro32. He disrespected Royal or either is so scared to face Royal straight on that he needs that greed to work in his favor in order to get a win in. That's just not the attitude you can have going into the Ro8.

He is still a progamer with a ton of experience and decent success. Definitely the strongest of the weakest 3. He actually made Light have to work for it, so Shine entering into the Ro8 wasn't undeserved. Also factor in that Shine was playing ZvT again. He could literally have practiced solely ZvT for weeks and then he shows up with this performance.

Royal is a beast at this point, so this was very expected. Next round will be very interesting.

JD died for this. Greedy, bad decision making on top of poor micro. RoyaL is beast but Shine played twice bad, games didn't even go to mid game once.

Royal said he's done playing Zerg, but he still only has one map loss. Plus, Soulkey ZvT is always something to marvel at. I think it would be a true test of his ZvT skills.

No way SK survives Bisu, especially considering his current form. I honestly think this really going to be Light vs. Bisu finals (rematch of semi's from last season).

Terrible series, but fully expected. Royal seemed really shaky in game 1, but the difference in skill was too big overall.
SK is a favourite against Bisu. He's ranked #1 in spon games and has a 10-6 record head to head the last 3 months -- Beyond that, the maps are actually pretty damn good for ZvP (not quite as good as for TvZ, but close). The only thing that speaks against SK is that he's a habitual disappointment and a massive choker -- but to be fair, Bisu is guilty of both of those in the post-Kespa era too.

He 8-2 Bisu last week so there are certainly more ways.

Wow 8-2 looks brutal. Didn't know SK was that dominating on sponmatches. Guess we'll wait and see. But pls don't let it be 3-0 in same fashion.

Man that was disappointing, I enjoy watching Shine for his non-straight-up completely off-the-wall play-style. Watching him try to play standard and getting his ass quickly handed to him was not fun for anyone. Big let down, hope the next few matches are a higher standard. Come on Bisu, I believe in you!
If in doubt, differentiate and set equal to zero
