Snow vs Effort is actually very dangerous for Snow LOL. Soma vs Best Soma taking it Bisu vs Larva. Bisu is proly very happy right now lol. I think this ASL will go like this Semis Effort/Snow vs Mini Soma vs Bisu Final Mini/Snow vs Soma | ||

If Bisu/Larva can't knock Soma out, he'll eat the Protoss players from the other bracket. Bisu is actually the only Protoss who has a winning record (or maybe it was 50/50) against Soma so he has the best chance. Soma vs Snow is 65/35 in win rate. I think similar for Mini. Btw, Best has no chance. Ironically, if Bisu knocks Soma out and faces Snow/Mini in the finals, well... | ||

Hope remains while the company is true Honestly, the Soulkey vs Snow and Best series (and Best vs Queen) from the last season kind of implied that is possible that maybe Protosses actually found a way to battle the Zergs in long BoX series. As someone mentioned, both of the series were 3:2 for the Protoss vs the mother fucking Soulkey with a free win zerg map in the pool. Protoss needed just 1 win out of 4 games to get a championship, however, Soulkey is Soulkey or perhaps ZvP was just ZvP. So in the next round (or couple of rounds) of the current ASL we will actually be able to see if Protosses really stabilized the match up or the last season was more of fluke. | ||

"90% of PvZ games being a hydra bust or cannon/zealot rush fucking sucks" is what we should be talking about PvZ is really good for P nowadays. There are so many uninformed people saying pvz imba without even playing the games themselves. Lot of zerg pros themselves think zvp is harder than zvt and sometimes feel zvp is a puzzle to still solve. can't wait to prove TMNT wrong when protoss wins 2/3 next week and also people saying zergs are dominating!! It's literally people who grinded who qualified into RO8. Ever since larva came back, he's been grinding crap ton of games and laddering a lot Ever since Effort came back, he's been participating in kleagues religiously everyday Ever since Soma came back, he's had the most amount of games played out of all god tiers Same goes for snow, mini, barracks Light took a break and barely played the past 2 months. So did soulkey. Let's not discredit the grinders who put in the work and tryna blame Z IMBA for some reason lol | ||

The map discussion is more interesting to me, though. Maps and adjusting the veto rules in tournaments. If every season we can get solid, interesting maps that encourage meta shifts and offer some cool stuff for players to chew on, I can see a lot of minor issues being solved all at once. | ||

I'm not clear how a map is supposed to discourage hydra busts without inadvertently screwing TvZ or PvT balance. Like, Pole Star is bad for hydra busting but it's fucking awful for PvT. | ||
