On the one hand, I am in favor of rotating participants in the semi-finals/finals and winners.
Mini was in the final 3 times and became the winner 1 time.
Sharp was in the final only once. Back in season 1, where he lost to Shuttle. Therefore, logically, I should root for him.
But on the other hand, I (and not only I think) do not want the 3rd TvsT Final ASL in a row. And this could be. Rush can beat SoulKey, and Sharp can beat Action/Effort.

May the best man win.

P.s. give me some cheese , BBs or 2gate center))

Mini already won ASL so I don't really care much if he advances or not. At this point I just want another TvT finals just for the banter hehe

mini is the most recent protoss ASL champ, following rain beating snow in the finals (instead of flash). if mini advances, there is potential for an effort rematch and a rush finals rematch, OR two banger pvzs in a row. mini simply has to win for the story lines. also in ro8 and beyond sharp talks tough in interviews about his mentality, positive thinking, coaching etc. but besides his scrappy tvt where his flanking and mech micro is amazing, he seems to lack the mentality of a champion in the other mus

lol i love how they showed a clip from sharp vs last. in the interview sharp was talking about yoga and being healthy and last was like "i can't touch my toes, but i'll let my game play do the talking" then crushed him. that was a great series.

Mini tried hard to make it a chaotic game and bring it back, but an excellent early and midgame effort as well as serviceable defense allowed Sharp to power through.

I think if they start with resonable equal openings and neither has a decisive advantage (like 12 nexus vs proxy rax), mini has this !

disagree, Sharp has advantage if he can survive the opening

that being said, very very lucky that he got hit with cross-spawn but got in w his vultures

but after that his (reckless?) expanding and shaky defense did give Mini a chance (but Mini didn't have the best engage at the 3rd base)

Typical Mini outdoing himself. Like you got cross spawn Nexus first in game 1, what else do you need lmao, why followed it up with a wank strategy.

Side note: if you guys want some fun you should watch Mini playing Terran. He makes Fantasy's play look tame. Double Dropships and shits like that lol.

stimulants are extremely common in esports tournaments. in fact, a valorant team got in trouble for using dip during a match. other games allow tobacco, and caffeine is widely abused including pills. and that's not even mentioning unprescribed addy etc.

Light: sorry to Sharp but he had to lose in order for Terrans not to die next ASL



Mini knew he could exploit Sharp's biggest weaknesses, bad cheese rushing vs nexus first + poor marine control v zealots

Never let it get to an even midgame in all of his wins

Even the first game you could make a point that he won the opening until he goofed with the vulture getting into his base

Mini is so used and extremely experienced in these base trade scenarios and carrier struggles. I dont see any P in pro scene being like this and that makes it nearly impossible to practice against as terran player.
Really a bliss and highly enjoyable to see such player.

the vulture in game 1 was entering his natural probably 1 or 2 seconds before the cannon finished. if the cannon had fired on the vulture as it entered mini's base, that game might have been completely different. but that is mini's characteristic greed over safety style. live by the sword, die by the sword.

He had a couple of games vs Royal that he won with crazy base trade scenario like that. One of them he won with 1 Pylon left on the map, the other he was down 100 supply with Terran max on 5 bases, and there is always that famous ASL12 games.

Damn I was hoping Mini would out choke Sharp... Sharp was playing well in the first game and then Mini just cranked it up. This side of the bracket's Ro4 will be more interesting at least. Maybe we get a return of the Legend of the Fall?

Was bummed to see Sharp lose like that in the 4th game but… I was rooting for Mini to win overall. Glad a protoss lives on! GGs

Pretty sick match
Wouldn't have been unhappy with either outcome. Sharp would've deserved a win, but so does Mini. Plus it's good to have a protoss advance.

That was a nice series, delighted to see Mini looking to be on form, in the group stage he looked lucky enough to get out. Great to see one of each race so far in the Ro4 too.
If in doubt, differentiate and set equal to zero

Was legit thinking the same thing.
Then again Mini is the Zealot lord in my opinion, old Bisu level of Zealot shenanigans.
That's how he won his ASL during the darkest time for P vs Z.

That screenshot makes me curious how that would look like in 1.16.1 (original) graphics. The probe looks really chunky in comparison to the zealot. The new graphics may make the reach look even more exaggerated than it is.

The probe looks normal. The zealot looks quite skinny. Weird angle/shot %%

What was the glitch in game3? Looks like Mini's AI lost control for 2 minutes... Then it switched to the normal game when 2 reavers appeared. Can someone explain it?

Live game obsing can break like a replay ever since remastered I believe. ASL noticed it quick enough to switch observer stream, so it didn't really matter for the live broadcast.

That seems related to how a sunken can have insane range. Switch target during animation to achieve higher range.

Edit: Marine had exactly 8 health left, unfortunately the replay doesn't show the bunker health before and after the last attack when the rine died, but psi-blades do 2x8 dmg. I'm pretty sure the first 8 dmg went on the bunker. I've read on TL before that you can split the dmg of zealot if you switch targets at the right moment, because it consists of 2 attacks. Useful when fighting zerglings (or marines for the same reason) with 0/0/0 zealots for example.

actually i thought sunkens sometimes have insane range because of a tournament legal glitch where zergs are able to manually target stuff they shouldn't be able to, mostly relevant during cannon rushes.

True, but the being attacked thing is a prerequisite in this excessive range occuring. I just dug through the YT comments and most upvoted comments are saying the same things there. The window in which this can occur seems very small. Cannon attack and sunken attack are both long animation, so that's likely why it can be easily manually manipulated.

Check this clip of 3 goons shooting back a tank at excessive range during being hit animation:


To not go too far off-topic with this: the screenshot redknights posted of Mini vs Sharp Game 2 is during the second part of the zealot's attack animation and it's zoomed in for extra dramatic effect. It's not a case of excessive range.

Now I know why Mini has long fingernails... to reach enemies from unreachable distances.

Besides the Vulture run by in game 1 Mini looked a mile ahead of Sharp in Skill. Just a smacking.

oh i remember this bug, i think it has something to do with zealot 2 hit attack. The 2nd hit doesn't have a target or something.
