Royal definitely made Soulkey work for this one.

best arkanoid game of the tournament, and historically we've seen good games on this map.

The early bunker/marine/scv push off of 2 rax manages to give Royal an economic advantage as he killed a fair few drones and forced Soulkey to build 4 sunkens at his natural (along with a bunch of larva spent on lings)

His defense against the eventual 3 hatch muta was also super strong while denying Soulkey his 3rd gas.

This Royal kid is surely a new bonjwa in the making.

Game 4!

Royal manages to sneak a scv inside Soulkey's base and confirms spire timing.

This is gonna get real scary for Soulkey as he's way too passive at the moment, letting Royal go 4 rax +1 so easily

Im loving these scrappy pushes from Royal. He just manages to find the han-bang timing.

At so many point i thought Soulkey was going to hold the push successfully but Royal just has enough marines to protect the tanks

what an unbelievably scrappy game. So many small things that could have changed the outcome of that.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

He just has to make sure he wont die/get too far behind from early shenanigans. I think what Royal has shown in these games is that he's mostly great in getting an early advantage with tricky play. I think Hero will have a good chance vs Royal, hope he does manage to beat Rush, although I wouldn't mind a TvT finals either.

Game 7 is undoubtedly the best but I think Game 5 was the best from Royal's perspective. He lost a Factory + 2 Vultures worth of resources for nothing early on but came back with some RPG-like micro. The control of Vessels to tank Muta damage for Marines was great.
My dream is to fertilize two females at a time.

This was frigging awesome!!!! What an amazing high level series. You can see how talented both players were. Beating Soulkey alone is just a major accomplishment.

Side note: Loved his fan girls in the front row!

Thrilled to follow the thread and see Royal win - finally living up to the incredible potential he shown previously. Can't wait to see the VODs!

Holy... Best TvZ series by far and 7th game is contender to be the best ASL era game of all time! Mad props to SK, one of the best micro, macro, army movements and decision making, like how the fuck he was alive so long at last game?!!
RoyaL fought hard with fierce, this is your season boy! Let's fucking go!

Incredible series. That was a lot of fun to watch. SoulKey reminds me so much of Julyzerg the way he plays. Especially with the Mutas. They are like the core makeup of his strategy. I guess the maps had a lot to do with that, but I really get a sense of the spirit of JulyZerg in his gameplay. GG’s, grats to Royal.

What a great final game. I do not understand how Royal won those two games with Valk tank pushes.

What an incredible heroic fight from SK all final game long, balancing the entire world on knife's edge. Wish he'd won, but gosh, fantastic series just beautiful

Not through the series yet but at 3-2 for Royal, I can safely say I'm rooting hard for SK. This is just stupid. Still waiting for Nyoken or Scan to make a terran imba comment.

Just poking fun at the terran bias, I love you guys, you are awesome! =)


//great games, final game was amazing. Although it's the first time in years I'm a bit salty about the results of a BW match. Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing.

Soulkey choked? No, Royal improved a lot. Those who didn't know this haven't been paying attention.

I think the perspective of “famous player so-and-so always finds a way to fail” is pretty misguided. The Ro16 is stacked with great players. Even if you have the competitive fire to maintain your game at top caliber, you’re in there with 15 other players also at top caliber, so your chances to win it all are slim. Failing to win an ASL despite many attempts isn’t some weird personality flaw, it’s the expected outcome.

May the BeSt man win.
