But honestly they are an even match and I expect a 5 game series of epic games. | ||

Two of the maps look Zerg skewed (Origin and Invader), the others are even or we don't have enough info, except Poly (Terran favoured). Assuming both players get one ban, that favours herO slightly. He's also had a lot more recent experience playing in stage. But, his ZvT is sometimes shaky. Probably herO, but very low confidence. | ||

also hero seems like the hardest opponent for mini in a potential finals, so i hope he loses. | ||

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. | ||

He's favorite vs Soulkey and JYJ, and no one from the other bracket has a chance against him. 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 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! | ||

Action is unstoppable in lategame TvZ. The question is whether he shoots himself in the foot by cheesing and losing before then. After his truly awful performance against Mini the last finals he made it to, I don't particularly want to see Rush in the finals again. | ||

Also, Rush is pretty good on timming and cutting corners, but I don't see him as the guy who wins on attrition. EffOrt plays lots of mindgames as does Action, and both can keep it up on long games non-stop. EffOrt has more finals and pressure experience as well. They still have to get out of the bottom bracket, we will see. | ||
