Thanks for giving me hope. I really wanted to see live Mini moving on.

First time following a match-day live this season and it's the best one.

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

I didn't think game 2 was a clear build-order advantage. It seemed to me it was real-time in-game tactics and brains that tricked the zerg.

You are right he knows how to close. That's what makes it so exciting to watch Mini~~!

Yeah that's true I was actually gonna comment Game 2 wasn't really a "BO" opening win but a mid-game decision win (to go +1 timing attack over corsair).

What's that quote about thin line between genius and insanity? Haha.

That was almost such a sick strat by Mini but then it wasn't.

I really hope Mini moves on, I want to watch Snow vs Mini so badly

Even though I am normally an any Zerg supporter.

It wasn't a clear BO advantage like game 1 and 3, but Soulkey did have to make a somewhat blind choice between Scourge and Muta. Mini was helped massively by Soulkey making the wrong choice. If Soulkey made Mutas there, he'd have been ahead.

Complete meltdown. This game goes to Soulkey, there's no hope for Mini.

It's a bit like pre-destined or something that it's the brains that brings down the brains that gives the advantage. These last two games were rubbish from a protoss perspective.

Why not put the zealots on the ramp? Or make a forge.

I actually don't understand taking the bait though. If he's got a Nexus coming up then he just needs to sit and defend. If SK is droning hard behind, at that point he's not going to get those zealots across the map to do any damage anyway until he has a few more

To answer my own question it was maps that made Soulkey look bad. The same zealot walk that made the match-up look like a hoola-dance on a beach, looked here like a march of prisoners to some siberian mine.

Mental boom makes you act irrational if anything.
