Only caught the last game in which + Show Spoiler + Soulkey, after falling super far behind, once again decided to do a double Hydra Den all-in bust after already going for Spire tech, like what he did to Bisu in the last ASL, and succeeded again. What a genius move that only the best Zerg in the world can think of and pull off (twice) in the 25 years of BW history, because it requires super sharp timing, and not like any foreigner Zerg like Eon can do. | ||

Soma would get so many all kills(sometimes almost) in KCM over the years it was disgusting. | ||

It has been a similar pattern for several KCM seasons (he didn't make it into the playoff team last season due to poor performance I believe). Anyone has a guess of the stark contrast? | ||

Anyone has a guess of the stark contrast? he shines when more is at risk. more stress more power. | ||

To be fair they were saying ZvP is getting harder than it used to be, not that it favors P. In other words, it used to be close to 60% for Zerg, they're not happy that the last map pool makes it closer to 50%. | ||

That's like 45% win rate. One guy is also dominating. (Soulkey) and not the other zergs. I don't see anyone except hero/Soulkey actually winning tbh | ||

This reminds me, does anyone know the criteria for lineup picking each week and during playoffs/finals? Some weeks have really lopsided teams (IE 1 team basically bring out all B-teamers while the other teams are totally stacked), and then sometimes during playoffs/finals the best players on a race aren't even playing. I assumed it was just player availability but is there some sort of league logic that qualifies certain players each week? | ||

For playoffs, on players' record after the 8 weeks (and availability too). Zerg and Terran lineups tend to be diverse than Protoss. For example, last season it was basically 3 out of Mini Bisu Best Snow every week for Protoss. Basically that's how they finished top in the first round of the last two seasons (by fielding your A players against Terran and Zerg's A+B players). | ||
