Man, Mini with his attack-upgrade two-phased push. Great planning for this map and this matchup

The muta/ling part makes sense, except he never made a single muta lol (until much later in the game).

I think he was expecting fast corsair since he was scouted 2 hatch, so that was the idea of scourge. However Mini big brained him and went for +1 timing attack instead.

Nyoken and Gypsy seemed to miss that Mini took his gas even before building the first Gateway. I suppose it's for the very early +1 Zealot move out. Dude had his build all mapped out for the series.

It's just Mini being Mini. Years of funky builds finally coming to fruition.

Is Soulkey looking _this_ hopeless because of Mini or because of the 2 maps? Because in the Ro16 Soulkey obliterated Bisu.

Oh right, this might be the reason why Soulkey got caught off guard. Mini haven't shown his hands yet for PvZ matchup.

Looking at game 1, I realize how much the BOs impact and decide games in all match ups (perhaps not so much in TvT) nowadays. The game is so developed and perfected that a lucky (can we call it like this?) good start almost always translates into victory

Has always been the case, but fans tend to read too much into it.

Only when there is a clear difference in skill level of the two players that the better one can overcome the early BO disadvantage. Most of the times the early BO/spawn/map advantages just snowball into later victory. The losing player tends to get criticized for playing terribly or whatever, especially when we look back past seasons' scores and only see a number like 4-0 or 4-1 and don't remember how the games actually played out.

Mini looked very upset when he scouted the zerg natural. But Soulkey's economy is so bad, this might be better for Mini.

He got BO advantage and knows how to close. Game 3 shows what happens if the BO advantage goes the other way.

Not sure why Mini went for reaver. Isn't zerg obligated to go for spire no matter what against one base protoss?

Yep. Just like I said before. The score is 2-1 now and the BO score is also 2-1.
