Soulkey could pull off an upset, but it seems fairly unlikely. My money's on Rush the TvZ expert.

because rush had good tactics, good drops, solid unit composition, he had the right number of firebats in the right place at the right time.

My LB is on Rush and still i am upset

But you are right... only if SK managed to kill those 2 initial dropships with his scourges

No, it's because TvZ is slightly in favour of T. Rush did nothing extraordinary, he even arguably lost too many Marines at the start. But he plays T.

I was watching and said; the only thing that can kill SK now is drops, exactly what happened. He took too long to deal with the first drop and probably got flustered because every following drop was deadlier.

Mining time lost for Rush was off-set by Soulkey not droning early. When Mutas hit, Soulkey had a chance to do exponential dmg, but he didn't. From there Rush slowly got more ahead.

Looking at the state of the game Soulkey created I expected him to muta micro like crazy and then sit 2 guardians over Rush's expo and either win there or turn that into a big lead to seal the deal later in the game.

rush's meteoric rise from ASL ro16 b-tier terran in earlier seasons to his current form has been a pleasure to watch. his macro is solid and his tvz looks scary. but could he win in a finals rematch vs mini?

Nope 4-0 was ASL S13, KSL was 4-2. Light was on fire that season though.

14CC is a great play on Invader, just flip a coin. Maybe SK should've gone 7-pool again...

Mmm. This is not looking promising for SK. Why not get a sunken or two?

It essentially puts you further behind with 0 map control if T decides to not trade into the sunken. Plus SK rly loves his muta/ling to eat the first (or refinrcement) mm ball.

Think he was hoping SK would retreat with his mutas. Didn't take the bait. Seems like SK found Rush his weak spot: sitting in the main base with early mutas and never relenting the pressure.

All I can say is you chose the right day to watch ASL live. Hydra's are really good at picking off previously plagues units. They were always a thing, you just don't always see it.

it's like goku taking off his weighted training clothes.

btw, rush's tank tactics and finesse micro looked so strong in game 5. when he was trying to threaten soulkey's third with tanks whenever soulkey pressed the attack he almost instantly unsieged his tanks and backed up. that was kinda immaculate actually. because his tanks lived for so long and did so much damage (multiple drone kills and even sniped the third hatch entirely) he was able to allocate his gas to vessels and upgrades. when he was close to maxed out with 3/3 that looked almost impossible for soulkey. still hoping for a game 7

Rush was kept in his base for too long (overcautiousness?), perhaps too many turrets, but I guess with how the previous games with the mutas went it was a safe play. But SK could then stall enough to get his lurkers up.
That lurker respositioning was beauiful though, riding the line of the sieged tank range perfectly. Then the surround basically solidified the win.

Man that game 7 was something else...

As far as my earlier comment about wanting a TvP finals... I should have said I wanted a TvMini finals... I think it would have been entertaining/not a stomp.

Now rooting for Mini to beat Effort. GGs!

Yeah if somehow effOrt can survive Mini I think he takes this season and ZvZ was what kept SK from reaching deep.

Queen vs Soma was pretty amazing final. I find ZvZ quite entertaining, definitely more than for example PvP.

even thought pvp has build order wins like dts vs no detection, zvz feels very build order dependent to me. of course, the superior tactics, macro, decision making and micro from a strong zerg can come back from a deficit but... i don't know. i can only watch lings block a ramp into muta micro wars so many times before i check out. not saying pvp makes a good finals either or is a better match up, but zvz is meh. imo of course

Effort winning another ASL would still be cool but after today's series I think Soulkey deserves better.

I root for Mini, but still I think Soulkey is the best and highly consistent player at this point and so favourite for the title.

Coming back after 2 losses is ridiculous. That's a crazy accomplishment especially against Rush, the second best active TvZ player in the world.
If you want to do the right thing, 80% of your job is done if you don't do the wrong thing.

I am betting on a Mini vs Soulkey finals which means its probably going to be Soulkey vs EffOrt

Great performance by SoulKey. He doesn't have the best micro, but he managed to make better decisions, whereas Rush did his usual learning nothing from prior games.

Still, hard to see SK taking it vs Mini or EffOrt.

Rush will be dirty with himself for losing that series. He looked better in the longer/standard games today but gave away a couple with the stop lurker and ling rush games.

Happy for SK though. He has been grinding away as a top zerg for a long time so nice to see him make a final.

Great series. Loved Game 5. Also, really good play by SK on the last map.

I know hindsight is 20/20, but Rush is INSANE for his gambling in the last two games. Great comeback from SK, not taking away from his victory today. Totally see him taking this whole thing.

Nice series.

Thought G1 any other Zerg would have just won early with mass ling. Trying to do everything sort of backfired but it was a fun game.

On the other hand, Soulkey clearly came in with that ling harass as a major part of his game plan. Definitely felt like a series where both players were convinced they were approaching the game the right way.

Glad to see Soulkey through - I thought this would be a 4-2 or 4-1 for Rush after the series against hero.

Happy for Soulkey. Made some real big hero calls to keep doing ling flood into heavy muta harass. Seems like Rush could not solve it.
