Snow’s greatest strength is also his weakness in PvZ imo. He plays so solid, but standard, that it’s almost like playing with maphack against him. I think he’s better than effort but I think he needs to mix things up a bit tonight too. Should be a great series! | ||

I think Snow can beat more easily Effort in a Bo1 then the other way around, but Effort can outsmart God in Bo5 and Bo7 all day, so who knows where this goes. I voted Snow. | ||

...though from what I see, in matches between players who know each other very well, the race that usually has less information, is more advantageous(simply because of external/meta knowledge) On another hand, Effort is the mind game god. | ||

Motion to retcon this tournie and have someone cooler take mini out in a non-shit manner. Like there's no way Arya kills the night king by jumping out of a tree with a steak knife. Sorry. Mini needs a Tony Stark death and multiple minutes where he's dying and loved ones get to come up to him and cry. He can't just get hit by a bus out of nowhere with some shitbag driving. | ||

But having only 1 ob getting constantly sniped with those pushes is criminal -_- He prob would’ve won with the big counter push if doesn’t let his ob get sniped. | ||

For some reason Effort lurker drop just caught him by surprise. Snow showed that even in a very weak spot the game was very close. So i expect the rest of the maps to go more his way. | ||

If you take in consideration that Nexus first vs Overpool is already a lot to overcome imagine using 2 larvas wasted into zerlings that die to canons doing nothing on early game. That said Snow took a shit ton of time to finish the game. | ||

Otherwise, it was crazy That was the idea but how realistically it is to do it when there is zealots covering the wall ? there are 3 canons corsairs and zealots. Just a mad plan. That said Props to snow for doing nexus first on Dominator when is very often a map where zerg does 9p lol. But the mindgame worked well cuz he did on metropolis so Effort wasnt exactly expecting that. In fact i think effort was trying to hard counter 1 gate expansion with his build. | ||

Too bad Effort couldn't push it a little harder. Epic composure by Snow. Seems like a winner to me! | ||

Snow: Eeffort is a strong opponent, and although I tried to put up a tough image, inside i was a bit afraid, so I'm glad I won. A: I had to win the 1st game but I lost, so I knew I had to pay extra attention to the 2nd game. I knew he would use Zerglings, so I was a bit more proactive with my zealots. A: Usually when I panic, I fail to defend when I should, and end up losing games I should. So I just recomposed myself. Q: On the game on Litmus, Effort tried to do a backdoor strat. How did you feel about it? A: I knew I just had to defend it and I would be in a good position, but as I was playing the game, I realised I was terrible with my building placements, and that made the game tougher for me. Effort is a strong opponent and he punished me well. A: Usually I always get reverse-swept or lose when I'm ahead. I hardly win a map 7 in a Bo7, if you notice. So this time, I really tried to focus and play to my very best. A: Except when I'm playing against Action, I usually lose most of my Zerg games. So I'm glad i can put another w in my record. Q: Barracks advanced to rRo4 first. Your thoughts? A: He plays really well, actually. In fact, in our practice, he wins more of our games. So he'll be a formidable foe. Q: Any words? A: I received a lot of help today, so I prepared in advance. Thanks to Soma, Queen, (i missed someone here), Hero, Soulkey, Larva, and everyone else. It's been about 5 years since I last advanced to the finals, so I definitely want to head to the finals. Also, to my wife.. Thank you. | ||

Tricking Barracks into thinking he can beat him, while playing at 50% power in practice and saving his builds for the semifinal. | ||

It's hard to gauge his level vs the major proleague players because he keeps parking in k league. Obviously he's major proleague worthy but maybe at the lower end of it (like JD most of the times). Snow has always been top end and Mini was when they played. In a Bo7 Effort has better chance but if they play 100 games for sure Snow will take 60-65 games for example. | ||

He's favourite in the semis. "Quite unlikely" doesn't really apply. If it will be pvp, he has at least 50% chance, even against Bisu whose godly almost-Rain-like pvp dropped a lot. vs Larva and Soma he is not a favourite, but with a few build order advantages... | ||

Looks like Snow used up all the 12 Nexus luck for Protoss today (at the expense of Mini lol). There may be a correlation between 12 Nexus and Protoss winning a BoX actually. Even in Rain's 4-2 victory against Soma a couple of years ago, he got away with 12 Nexus once. | ||
