Snow has surprised us last time, but I give Hero a significant edge. Will definitely be exciting though.

Let's see that Arkanoid map
That could be a great game if Snow can guess hero's build.

Anyway let's hope for Snow he can beat hero before the last game...

I wanna see Snow 3-2, but I don't want ASL to think maps like Arkanoid are tournament material (unless it can actually be vetoed). From the last cast I understood both players get to pick 2 maps and Afreeca decides the final map, which will be Arkanoid for today.

Does that mean ASL didn't pick Arkanoid for Light vs Rush yesterday? A mirror match up where map imba isn't really a factor...

Game 1 shows you why Forge expand is kinda outdated at pro level.
No pressure in the early game and Protoss can't compete with Zerg's macro.

What a great two gate start from snow, with phenomenal zealot micro, I though that was going to be a fast protoss victory. But a great strategic call from Hero just makes it look easy.

Well then. 2 zergs who are not known for their ZvT in the semis up against 2 of the current top 3 Terrans. I wonder who will receive practice help from Light.

His ZvT is def weaker than ZvP tho. Currently only 38% vs Rush. 3W 10L record since July.

It's funny that Soulkey and Hero knocked down Bisu and Snow, who are more likely to beat Royal and Rush than themselves.

Hero is really good at ZvP so not that shocking.

But holy shit was that a disappointing performance from Snow given how he crushed his PvZ group previously.

SnOw needs to work on late macro games, he couldn't match vs. herO and felt apart. His 2 base pushes are great but that shouldn't be only option for protoss to end the game. herO was really solid though and had perfect answer for everything.

My only hope to not see herO vs. SK ZvZ finals...

Soulkey has been practicing with Light recently. VODs can be found on Home of Starcraft. I think they are practicing with each other since they would only play if they were in the finals.

Isn't ZvT Soulkey's best matchup? Maybe his ZvP raw win percentage may be higher. But if we're just talking about versus top Terrans and Protoss, Soulkey is truly a ZvT monster while his ZvP is a notch below Zero, Soma and hero.

Sad that Snow lost

The original balance theory of Z>>P>T
The reason T does well is because Ps get eliminated by Zs


Slight addendum: Z >> P > T = Z. However Flash >> P, Z, T, which gets conflated into T>Z and T=P.

Can’t argue with that. Imo Flash skews racial stats more than any progamer. That shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, but I’ve looked at numbers and its ridiculous.

Snow.... Why doesnt he engage the scourges in Game2? he has enough sairs to one shot those scourges. nor does he go overlord hunting with them during the muta counter.... seems like a throw. he was content to go down to 1 base mining for such a long time. disappointing play.

He may have heavily skewed stats but he is just one person, that means playing only a few of all games played. Shouldn't his stats be drowned when considering all games in total?

He may have heavily skewed stats but he is just one person, that means playing only a few of all games played. Shouldn't his stats be drowned when considering all games in total?

No you are right, I should have qualified that its the skew to the number of individual league titles won by a race that Flash has tilted more than any other player. There is simply too many overall games for a single player to impact. But in the mindset of fans, its the championship runs that really stick out and impact our perception of racial balance.

I really thought Snow was winning after he killed a huge flock of muta/scourge for the cost of two HTs and then killed Hero’s fourth... I don’t understand how Hero survived.
May the BeSt man win.

His ZvT is def weaker than ZvP tho. Currently only 38% vs Rush. 3W 10L record since July.

It's funny that Soulkey and Hero knocked down Bisu and Snow, who are more likely to beat Royal and Rush than themselves.

The original balance theory of Z>>P>T
The reason T does well is because Ps get eliminated by Zs


Slight addendum: Z >> P > T = Z. However Flash >> P, Z, T, which gets conflated into T>Z and T=P.

Can’t argue with that. Imo Flash skews racial stats more than any progamer. That shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, but I’ve looked at numbers and its ridiculous.

You're right if we look at all games played, but I'm talking more about perception than raw statistics. People pay way more attention to the results of tournaments than they do total games played on sponbbang, and in tournament play Flash easily skews the "stats."

lol you pretty much said the same thing I did
Funny thing is, in the “modern” era of starcraft, T isnt even ahead in gold count, its still Z. My data isnt updated, but at worst lets say its a tie. The only explanation for Tesagi is that Flash’s wins are so dominating that T still comes off as OP.

You guys need to stop hyping Snow up and start respecting Hero a little more, the guy keeps doing well in most ASLs he's been in.
BeSt / Bisu ftw!!

That was extremely disappointing. I thought Snow could at least take one game and then get screwed by maps. Hero played great but watching PvZ lately is frustrating.
If in doubt, differentiate and set equal to zero

Disappointing showing by Snow afer his ro16 results, but it's not like hero played bad, he played exactly like he should, abusing every advantage Z can get vs P, and Snow couldn't keep up. I thought it looked like Snow might win game 1 in some parts, but after that it wasn't close.

Snow in general is just way more exciting to watch than drone man. Both players still have to prove themselves by coming an ASL champ. Snow has gotten to the final twice, and hero once. The hype is completely legit. It's up to Hero to earn more respect by giving us better shows and/or getting better results

Depends on what you like. I enjoy watching hero's ZvP way more than Snow's PvZ. He is on another skill level in the match up a the results showed.

Snow lost to Flash at ASL8 Finals. You are talking about ASL5 that the Rain won.

That's what I meant, he beat Flash in ro8, but then lost to Rain in the finals of that season. But you're right, he also lost to Flash in the finals another time, it probably wasn't clear from my previous post.

I think right now hero is top ZvPer in the world. It was sorta in limbo between him/soma/soulkey for last year but these last 2 seasons really puts him over the edge for me.

Not sure who I would pick in either semifinal but I really hope we get a ZvT final, it's been a while.

Didn't Flash beat Sea in an ASL final, or was that earlier in the bracket than the finals?
