I think we might get a P win this ASL. Either Snow or Mini.
Snow has a bit of gap between him and others in PvP. The maps are not terrible for PvZ and only Soma is really scary from the remaining zergs. He can handle any PvT out there right now.
Mini is too much of a headcase but if he maintains his level, the chances are there as well. He also has to avoid Snow in the Bo7s, he's not beating him in that.

Snow is so freaking good at pvp now. It’s crazy
Sad for JD but happy for mini 😰

What a great day of games! I’m so happy for Protoss!!!

Shame that Sharpt was so shaky, could have been a great game on currents otherwise.
Oddly enough the PvP was the most entertaining. Although the final wa good too for different reasons.
JD didn't look really on it unfortunately. We know he can play better than that even right now. Is it nerves?

Just got to game 2. Mini is so so much better than any other protoss. It's not even close. No one else makes games like this. Zergs just aren't used to handling this kind of assertive agentic protoss.

He almost accessed Mach 10, and very nearly looked like Robo in the cocaine factory with that auto-aim. He played like a baller. I won't rub it in because I know JD's got many fans. But it didn't seem very challenging for Mini. He just needs to practice PvP a bit. If he got out in first I woulda ...fuckin.....FUCK. Woulda been cool. Snow's got his number though. Fuck SnOw. Dude hacks. Yeah, Snow is reaver cheater.

JD falling to zealot rush and DT backstabs. Maybe one or two well-placed sunkens would have changed the outcome against Mini. Just need to wait a bit more for your ASL, JD. It'll come.

mini is super fun to watch because he makes huge gambles almost every game. he's got the best zealot micro in the world. He's one of the few players that plays better offline than online (at least when he's in form). But he's definitely got holes in his gameplay, not just nerve-related. He has the worst macro of the top 4 protosses, and spends too much time microing losing battles than macroing.
He's my favorite protoss on the scene but i don't think he can take down snow without a huge improvement to his gameplay, or having a ton of really good cheeses planned. Even though I think snow is the most solid PvZer right now, he's generally kind of weaker in BoX series because he plays very predictably and safe. I can see a scenario where effort beats snow but loses to mini.

That's funny... A double KSL/ASL champion and the nr. 1 ASL terran is considered by some a dark horse (is not this term used for underdogs?) - of course he is massively favored!

Ouch! Hearing that you would think Mini had no chance vs. JD. I think Mini turned on his "bitter zealot mode" - i wonder if any body remembers that???

Yes. But i will wait for the semi-finals. You know there is a chance of 4 Protoss there (KSL deja-vu).

You talk nonsense. You are defiling JD by this particular performance vs. Mini. He recently had two KCM all-kill events. JD was coming to this ASL as a top 5 zerg for sure.

People in proleague will pick Soma > soulkey > queen > Hero > JD > Effort in that order so i guess you're right. When I meant bottom tier I meant he's the last place zerg in god tier realm. Actually scratch that since larva won! Soma > SK > Queen > Larva > Hero > JD > Effort. So jd not even in top 5

Wait you guys saw Jd all kill in KCM and really thought oh shit he is winning this ASL for sure ? If you just put the effort to watch his daily streams you will see he is not close to SK Soma . There is a chance he is fighting spots with queen hero right now. So if you take the top 5 zergs he is proly bottom from those or 4 depending on the day really.That said im not really sure in proleague he is being pick last since he is still a powerhouse name that brings allot of ballons like shuttle lol.
But Jaedong for years has been behind the top zergs. It doesnt mean he is trash tho. In a good day he will destroy anyone like it happened in KCM.

pretty crazy to see all the protoss in ro16 advancing

Though, Jaedong is already hall of fame for me, doesn't matter what his gameplay is now, because back in the day he was one of the best of all time.

Snow making it 1st is no surprise. That PvP series was surprisingly fun. Usually tvt and pvp are not so fun to watch for me.
Double protoss making but i'm kinda sad with Jaedong. He was kinda crushing in KCM and he just got wiped on the floor by mini like he couldnt figure out how to beat the mass lot timing early on
Aint no way we arent gonna get a protoss winner this season especially with soulkey out of the way

Aint no way we arent gonna get a protoss winner this season especially with soulkey out of the way Washed up zerg pros age terribly. The zerg split decisions turn sour immediately. The fastest rising stars become the worst crashing ones. Thank God for BTS. He really doesn't play cheese and keeps up with his style until the end. Zerg is littered with pros who cheese their favourite unit - Jaedong and hydralisks, Action and defilers, july and zerglings. Keeping up tabs with the enemy is really hard with zerg, you don't have the same spying capabilities as the other species. You lose track of the enemy. Nothing is as inexpendable as the weakest units in the game when your enemy has gained courage to strike at you. The whole game revolves around intimidation and too much or too little fails miserably.
