Awesome timing attack by Royal, but Rush did quite well defending it. They seem pretty equal and now it's a continuous fight of Rush trying to break Royal's contain and Royal reinforcing it.. Rush finally breaks the contain.

Royal lost quite some control when he opted to take a 4th instead of pumping more units with his ninja expo, but he is now pushing back Rush. Meanwhile Royal's Ninja expo is still unscouted.

Very interesting game. Royal played great, but Rush could've turned it around if not for the hidden base. Without that oversight, maybe Rush would've won.

Rush seems content with just building a bunker vs Royal even if he wouldn't need it. It actually delays his factory units and makes Royal's tank pushes stronger. I hope Royal does another Ninja cc. It would be such an insult to injury ^^

I don't know how Royal suddenly has more bases than Rush and supply is similar, I don't understand it. But I guess that's why I'm a fan lol

I'll take responsibility for this because I noticed the error and fixed it on LP days ago while updating maps but did not update calendar.

Nice job on Royal, I'm not the biggest fan with all his cheesy plays, but other than that he had some nice plays as well at times.

Somehow viewership really plummeted this season despite the explosion of the university scene. Not even hitting 100k for the finals. Probably something to do with the players.

Gotta eat crow. Thought Royal only made it to the finals cause of fortunate bracket luck and Rush would stomp.

It's not far from the truth tho. He did get some luck with the bracket, getting Shine in Ro8, avoiding Protoss altogether, and cheese also played a big role in his run to the championship.

You can't legitimately say he's better than any of Light, Rush, Soma, Queen, Hero, Soulkey, Bisu, Snow,... but those players knocked each other out and Royal got the better of Soulkey and Rush. in what feels like two 50/50 series. Out of the recent ASL champions, he's probably the least convincing.

I’ve followed BW since the Boxer vs Yellow days. But not even I watched this final live.
- No god (bisu, snow, light, flash, jaedong, zero, and so on)
- TvT

I prefer watching when the “gods” are playing, and I prefer TvZ, PvZ, and TvP

honestly Royal vs Soulkey was 50/50 but I think Royal won this series convincingly. When you look at the macro games, he won most of them decisively and for the one macro game that he lost, he was in serious trouble from the early vulture tank attack but still managed to get back into a decent position before losing.

Surprised at all the scorn for TvT. This final delivered. Heck, most FvJ finals have been less satisfying in terms of back-and-forth between the players. Not much hype this time, but fun games to watch!

I liked how aggressive Royal’s openings were.
May the BeSt man win.

Agreed, this final was among the better ones in SC history in terms of action, skill and creativity. Royal mixed in fast-paced aggressive strats and outplayed Rush in a bo7, which is extremely hard to do.

Such an action packed TvT, RoyaL's aggression delivered! Rush's TvT is his best MU and if it goes long enough he should win but RoyaL didn't let him breathe. Well deserved, I was having high hopes for him and he did it finally!

Idk, Rush played so defensively, no scouting at all. Royal "outmacroed" him because he just expanded and Rush never scouted and punished it - or expanded himself. With 5v3 bases, of course you win in the long run unless you are putting your rally point into the enemy tank line and never move it again.

probably because it contained absolute no marquee players - if this was flash vs light or something no doubt they'd be more fanfare

It was a great series. Normally despise mirror-matches. but the skill, meta and intensity was high level, hard to not enjoy it.
Was cheering for Rush to get his ASL-win finally, but Royal's strats won me over in a couple of games. Really nice variety and fully deserved winner. Congrats!

RoyaL has me in awe, I love the way he plays, not afraid to mix it up and be more aggressive yet still solid on a regular game. Congrats to him on the Champion title. We finally have RoyaL Champion.

I don't mind mirror mu finals as long as it isn't PvP...
The ZvZ finals we had some seasons back was one of the best finals we've had and this TvT one was fine, not great, not bad.
And the one between Sea and Flash was pretty fun although lopsided.
BeSt / Bisu ftw!!

It was a great series but the semis were better.

What do you think will Tastosis post the match before or after the end of the monh?

What's taking them so long? I personally listen to Scan and Nyoken but a friend of mine waits for Tastosis' vods. By the time he gets back to me I have forgotten 80 % about the matches, lol.

Amazing to see how happy Royal was after that. Really nice series too. And don't complain, guys, just be happy it wasn't zvz...

Really happy for Royal, I've been super impressed with his play and improvement over the last 1.5 years. He's been a total force in ASTL and KCM and I was just waiting for him to get over his BoX nerves and reach his potential in ASL. He definitely came to win this season with some awesome builds and series prep. Too bad he didn't get tested in TvP though.

Feel bad for Rush taking down Light just to lose to Royal haha, but I feel like he's destined to win an ASL eventually.

how the fuck are Terran doing so bad in KCM this season when we had a TvT final lol

That’s surprising, I thought this ASL was great especially the semis.

Royal played really amazing games, the way he was using relentless pressure all over the place and mass expanding behind it was just crazy to see.

Frontal assault, drop and expanding at the same time just kept Rush off balance.

Also the way Royal did his builds and mixed in some cheese was a really nice way to keep his opponents off balance throughout the series.

I thought Soulkey actually played better games in the semis but Royal did play a better series.

In the finals I thought Royal was outplaying Rush for most of the games and it is a very well deserved ASL champion imo. Yeah, he was a bit lucky with the brackets but the way he played in the 2 big series he showed himself to be a great player.

Gonna be really interesting to see how far he goes next season and what else he is gonna do with Terran, it is rare that Terran has creative players like this.

Rush didn't play KCM at all this season. Royal underperformed a little bit. JYJ currently on a huge slump.
And Light, seems like he hasn't been back in shape since the last ASL. Lack of practice, busy with the university thing, maybe even lack of motivation after finally winning ASL as well.

Honestly, I don't think he got lucky, except for getting Shine in Ro8. Ro16 he had tough group, and Soulkey is the best zerg (or at least best ZvTer) in 2022.

I can't believe you have the opportunity to go to Korea and to the finals and you just pass on it. There's a lot of fans, me included, that wish to be in your position. Finals should be between the two best players. If it's a mirror matchup, so be it. The more you watch TvT, the more you appreciate it.

Anyway, Royal had superb decision making above anything else. Also it felt he was multitasking better than Rush. Well deserved victory.
