ikr I was trying to think of the last time I actually saw someone use eraser. Modern zerg almost never let the vessel cloud get so big that it can be used.

Told you it's Rush's turn to win this season. He's favorite vs Soulkey and JYJ, and no one from the other bracket has a chance against him.

HerO was very off.... sad. Usually he is the one player you can rely on to perform above a baseline.

G1 = "I make merin" the game and G3 = "I make vessel" the game.

Game 3 was fun. Overall disappointing from herO. Well played Rush.

Rush put hero into a blender and pressed Smoothie.

Still a good series and well fought g1 and g3 by hero. Rush is just a machine. And I think hydra/lurker/defiler is the slightly better way to play atm. We didn't see that at all this series.

Rush looked like a beast but tbh i am disappointed in thst pool 4 attempt on NDO, given the spawn but also especially given the current map stats and the way hero usually plays mid game, map would be good for his style.

I m sure he had a good reason but overall felt a bit weird

hero got bodied rush definitely the better player. Felt the game got decided when his lurker defiler drop did nothing. Almost brought it back with ling/ultra counter attacks but the dmatrix erasers too stronk on the drone line. Rush also played with an average 100apm more than hero and it showed.

That went even better than I expected. Hope I'm not jinxing it, but I'm looking forward to Rush in the finals. He'd deserve it.

I was hopeful during the middle of game 3 that we'd go to the 4th set but no . Nice play from Rush. Hero seemed off...

haha so hyperbolic. the other side of the bracket does have a chance but i would agree it's Rush's season.

The dude looks so happy after he wins and has a literal glisten in his eye. It's destiny.

I don't see Rush as a clear champ. It's not like what's left of the bracket is a walkover.

edit: I would put Action/EffOrt over him in a finals.

I agree effOrt on a good day. I would say Mini on a good day. Action, meh. Someone needs to pull a Joaquin Phoenix from Gladiator and do a pre-match rib-stab to overcome Rush. I would also say Rush needs to be on his A-game but the dude is thirsty. He's rabid. His A-game is here to stay until he wins an ASL imo.

Agreed the bracket is not a walkover for him but if Mini shits the bed and effOrt falls to ZvZ I think Rush has it.

Time will tell!

Rush has been pretty consistent for the past couple seasons. He’s definitely deserving of another finals.
