At least this wasn't a 4 sweep fest. Every game was good apart from the first one. This was a really good season

First we had a Zerg bonjwa who scammed people for money, now we have a Zerg bonjwa who got scammed for money.

Well played SoulKey!

Yeah those last 2 games SK remembered how ZvP can easily beat gatewayman Protoss, but those xspawns definitely helped him.

Soulkey looked different in those last two games. He gives his all in elimination matches.

4peat is cool - I don't think it will happen again anytime soon.

That said, Soulkey looked beatable vs Snow and looked even worse vs Best.

Yeah, undisturbed 4-base SK isn't something you want to play against...

Did SK get cross spawn in all four elimination games he faced?

Now for the grand irony to cap off this 4-peat run i can't wait for Soulkey to get eliminated in ZvZ before getting any of the match-ups we want to see.

I hope Best stays hungry, Flash knocks out SK next season and Best kicks Flash's ass in the finals. Dude can still become a legend.

He remembered to just macro lol. All the games he lost was due to failed early aggression.

It was over after forcing 6 cannons and sniping the upgrading forge for free

we weren't in doubt of ASL20, they told us 2 ASLs were coming this year, ASL21 is still not announced.

that said considering this is the first season in years to have an external venue for the finals, they're probably not in doubt for future seasons.

Best has very poor corsair micro and a bit of a clumsy approach to the early game in PvZ and that will catch-up sooner or later in a bo7.

I will say, I really do hope these organizers stop punishing Protoss with these mappools. In what world does the weakest race routinely get punished by the map choices and that's a good thing. I hope this non-sense stops at some point.

Best played incredibly well, so gutted for him. SK somehow found enough to win the last two games. It almost looks impossible to punish him early, especially cross spawn. Protoss will have to wait at least one more season

Game 6 and Game 7 should be a cautionary tale for all protosses going forward. Never let games get to that stage, a failed, shitty timing attack is better than that...

I kinda begrudgingly have to agree with this.

Can't wait for eonZerg to get in and say that Protoss can play standard macro game vs Zerg and win. No shit, when you are 1 level ahead of the Zerg in overall skill.

Otherwise, a significant early or mid game advantage, created by such brilliant or shitty timing attacks (depending on the build orders mostly), or a Zerg blunder created by himself (like a failed hydra bust or poor ling runby attempt), is prerequisite for Protoss to win.

Snow already showed that on equal skill, playing safe vs Zerg = loss, albeit narrowly.

Best is less skilled than Soulkey, so he pulled off some wins today doing wacky builds plus Soulkey giving it to him by being overly aggressive himself. But we see how hopeless Best was on the last two games with conservative play by both sides.
