This is probably one of those games wherein if this were done in a public pc bang, Rush would go to Soulkey's table, smash him with a keyboard, and people won't blame Rush for it.

That's how good Soulkey played here. Textbook TvZ right there.

They have to get ahead before it. And vessels to snipe Defilers, retreat army to safety then push again after the clouds disappear.

On the plus side, this feels like the correct four players made it to the semis.

yeah it does. although best is slumping a tad bit. sk, light, and snow have occupies the top 3 elo rating for most of the past 2-3 years.

Best his PvT actually looks weaker than usual right now. heblost the last 4 best of sets vs terran, including vs a rusty Ample.

Snow shines when he can prepare, so while he's not favored, he can absolutely go toe to toe vs SK. Light has always been a TvZ specialist, so he should be able as well... but he's also (still?) a bit of a choker.

Not really. Snow has always been way more dominant online, without preparation, and relies on his insane micro and management rather than strategic planning. He can definitely beat SK but I would give him a way higher chance in an online sponbang than ASL.

Light's TvZ was pretty brutal against Jaedong.

RIP Rush. It's a shame that the only decent Terran players these days seem to be Flash and Light (heh.)

Was it any different before this series? Rush was supposed to stop him?

I mean in normal tvz, terran has like 12 vessels that free kills with 75 energy. It's equivalent to zerg having 24 queens.

If artosis would play zerg, he would complain about vessels all day.

Soulkey's scouting and reactions are so insanely good. After game 1 rush couldn't do anything without SK knowing about it and having the perfect response.

Soulkey also has an insane level of optimization in how he places and moves his units. For example when he went in to take down one of Rush's expos, forgot which game it was, he perfectly aligned all his hydras and lings to instantly maximize damage efficiency, but also to cut off the Rush's escape path and reinforcement path. No other zerg ever does these things with this level of attention to optimization for every single scenario.
