Conversely bracket is brutal for Rush. Could have to face Snow and Mini in consecutive series. Gun to my head I’ll go Snow and Hero. Snow > Rush Hero > mini Hero > snow Mini > rush Snow > mini | ||

Hero > Mini Snow > Hero Rush > Mini Hero = Rush I dont know who will win between Hero and Rush. But honestly this grouo is supwr duper even on paper. except snow. on paper snow should win this group. but bo1 and bo3 are small sets so anything can happen. had it been bo5 or bo7 snow for sure wins this without any doubts. | ||

In an alternate timeline, Hero goes pool first or a scourge/burrow build that shut downs Mini's reaver play in the first game, while Rush scouts horizontal and Mini gets away with a 12 Nexus 1 Gate build and just cruises through. | ||

I want to hear again that this game is not balanced. I feel terrans kind of need a champion though. Light right now doesn’t quite cut it. Maybe Speed or Flash can make it through in the next cycle. | ||

Not sure any of the others can beat him in a bo5/7. He owns Snow, looked a step above Light in the ro16. Best isn’t up to his level in PvZ, nor is rain. JD looked good in ro16 but iffy if he can take SK in multiple games. | ||

It feels like every time he goes deep in ASL he faces the best player in the respective matchup at the time. Rain during his prime PvP era. Flash. Soulkey x3 during his 3(4?) peat. | ||

After peaking in season 8 he got eliminated 6 times by Zergs (Larva, Soma, Hero, Queen, ggaemo, and Hero again). Obviously as his PvZ during this time was pretty weak. Around season 15 he upped his PvZ but got knocked out by Soulkey 3 times (15.17,18). Season 16 was the shock loses to Killer and Royal (who at the time had like 20% win rate vs Snow). He's likely to get Soulkey again this time and if he doesn't do it now, it'd even be harder with Flash and Soma coming back next season. | ||

It's second to none, SnOw included. That's the reason his PvsP is so strong. And thats the reason he will walk over SnOw in the RO8 (hopefully :D) | ||

Snow does have the habit of being too overconfident with "weaker opponents". RoyaL actually does well vs snow when the stakes are high. iirc royal beat snow for PSL and a starcast tournament. | ||

Flash TvZ looks about as strong as it used to. But his TvP seems to be lagging behind. Edit: jaedong 2-1 flash before ASL today. | ||

I only found this one where he opened 2 Factory Goliath but then switched to 3 Rax MM after. Otherwise, I traced Flash's TvZ (broadcasted) last month and there was only one time he lost to Zerg (Hero) with that build, but in that game he made a crucial mistake (Goliaths move out, Mutas move in, Gols keep moving, but then return after almost reaching an undefended Zerg natural). Most of the times with that build you see Flash building up Goliaths for 10+ minutes, before mixing in a few Tanks/Vessels and delivering the killing blow to Zerg. | ||

People talk about him being god tier like Soulkey, but he's only barely reached a positive win rate against T in the last season or so IMO his ZvT is the worst out of the top 4 active Zergs, worse than Queen, Soulkey, Action | ||

HerO's only down on Light, Rush, Royal and Flash in Tvz. Equal on JyJ. http://eloboard.com/men/bbs/board.php?bo_table=bj_list&wr_id=34 http://eloboard.com/men/bbs/board.php?bo_table=bj_list&wr_id=13 That duel series was played back in December or before. It still had Pantheon, Kickback, Minstrel and Monty Hall in the map pool. Not quite relevant for the present. | ||

Yes he is the GOAT, just like JD is the zerg GOAT. But what about NOW? What about THESE DAYS? Anybody thinks Rain can out-micro Snow in shuttle/reaver control? Wake up from your stupor! Snow is favored 55/45. I don't think anyone can call this match in advance, it's such up to Snow handling his nerves and how much Rain can raise his PvP level. Snow should get a mental coach or something, don't know if those exist in Korea. | ||

I feel like Snow is in better shape but Rain has historically been extremely good at navigating the match up (much in the same way as Jaedong in ZvZ) and can do a lot with little practice. You can also never know if Snow's nerves hold up. His Ro16 matches looked strong but in the interview he still admitted he was shaking. This is why I went with Rain for LB, even though I think Snow is stronger atm. | ||

Bur realistically it's PvP so Rain can take 1 or 2 games. | ||

SnOw has had the best pvp by miles for a few years now. I will die on this hill. SnOw vs soulkey semis! Will soulkey eliminate snow again??? Soulkey has been stealing snows championships for years now. | ||
