It doesn't make much difference, if you ask me I think if he can't beat Savior then you're un-likely to win the MSL in the end, because either he'll show up or another S-Class player that beat him will, and you'll end up with the same thing.

Poor Free... he deserves to make it to Ro4 at least once, unlike Mind/Mania. Oh well, good luck to him next season.

Why doesnt Mind/Mania deserve to make it to the Ro4? Oh course they deserve it. They won their games.

I think Bisu still has better chances vs savior in the finals. Free isn't THAT good. Loki is actually a very good P>Z map imo. And in game 4 he just ran into savior's arms who had the perfect gameplan vs him. But Bisu i could imagine would have just gone 2 Stargate corsairs and clever DT/Drop usage and the game would have looked different.
After all I'm sure noone can prevent these two from meeting in the finals and if Loki will be played twice I'm betting on Bisu.

When I first watched the Vod's I didn't know who was going to win because I had not read this thread yet, but as soon as I opened the first set and saw how tired and disheveled Savior looked compared to his usual demeanor I KNEW he was going to be playing excellent starcraft. Honestly I think Savior has been awakened from his slump. If you watch some of his older games, i.e- past few months, you can see he was making mistakes that would honestly be too long for me to describe but things such as rushing 10 zerglings to kill one probe whilst there was a cognizant need to utilize the lings somewhere else and that time delay would hurt his position in the game. Today I felt that his decisions were holistically better, call it micro/macro decisions or whatever, I felt a tangible increase in his play from his past and contemporary form.

I thought thumbs down only meant that they wouldn't play that map twice?

Yes, that's right. But he wasn't implying anything different, just responding to the post before him:

But interestingly, both Bisu and Savior thumbed down Zodiac for their Ro8 matches. It'd be funny if they both expect the other to thumb down Zodiac again, so they thumb down their 2nd worst, and then Zodiac gets picked for the 1st and 5th.

PS: I don't know if it's been mentioned, but Free thumbed down Loki II. I would've expected him to thumb down Python before Loki II for sure.

Ah, finally got around to watching these games and I'd just like to add that when comparing Free's PvZ to Bisu's, it's really amazing how vastly different their skill levels are, even though many people rank Free was the no.2 PvZ player.
Honestly, 5Base Zerg, 6 hatching, etc that crap will just dash itself to pieces on Bisu.

The map was good for that strat.... I don't think Bisu would have had it easy.

I don't understand why Free didn't make any DA in the last game. Maelstrom would have SO owned these masses of mutas.

I had hope for Free. No other Protoss has been able to just downright own the crap out of sAviOr. StOrk, Free, and Nal_Ra should have saint[z-zone] as their practice partner too :/
