Hopefully Best comes prepared with some builds to throw off Zero. If he plays straight up I think this will be a fairly routine win for Zero.

BeSt picked death valley, he's definitely trying to cook something up.

I'm almost scared to watch if it goes to late game since the pros haven't yet discovered feedback as a counter to plague. As a protoss it stresses me out. At least they've gotten to the infancy stage of the DA.

Zerg has adapted very well to the Protoss meta and Protoss have been struggling to win matches. Best is going to have to give his best representation of the current style, with unique builds like Mini's reaver. Every PvZ has also been gateway FE vs overpool and perhaps its time to bring out some of the different, greedier openers like 12 nexus.

Queen is just so focused in his matches, it's uncanny. He's looking like one of the strongest players in this tournament. But no one has really given him a challenge and thrown him off his game. Hopefully Best can do that with some interesting strategies and give us a great series.

Cant see Best making it out ; -; ASL title forever out of his reach with all these strong Zergs around.

They do occasionally, consider this game between Snow and Soulkey.

I imagine the difficulty is that during the mid-game and early late-game the players don't have the time to baby-sit their DA, looking for opportunities. They are busy with macro, army movement, taking bases, harassment etc.

This is the best Queen has looked ever since he won the ASL. Victories against Flash, Light etc..He's looking really really good.

I think he's the overwhelming favorite for this one. Tough mappool as well for Best.

I'm not convinced Queen is such a huge favourite. Both Stork and Bisu had chances to beat him this ASL. He can crumble to the right kind of mid-game pressure, or maybe some early game shenanigans.

Huh. When Protoss has to pick Eclipse first and Death Valley second, you know it's not a great map pool for PvZ.

4 1 to Queen probably.

In case anyone needs a reminder that Best can do well in PvZ.
