GG Soma, clearly the stronger player here.
PvZ is just so rough
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

Snow always feels like he’s on the defensive and guessing vs Soma. He maybe needed to work in some awkward zealot timings like Mini to try take better charge of early game. Easier said than done.

Well, that was probably the least interesting of Soma's all Protoss bracket run. Meh.

P champions were shuttle (lol, this should not even count), rain (on P favoured maps) and mini. One!! normal P champion in 20 seasons. PvZ imbalance is death for BW

Soma was great. I was really impressed. I think with this win we can put him in the same tier with Soulkey. He has his own style but he somehow manages to make it viable in a lot of different game states. Let alone the micro and his macro ability which is top-tier. Maybe I am a bit subjective because it was just PvZ's these last few rounds, who knows..

As far as Snow goes. This last game kind of showed that he hit a wall. Clearly he couldn't control his army to the level of his opponent or make the correct decisions when the game was still close to 50/50. The way the best players of the game are round-up right now you cannot be a protoss champion with just being elite at PVP and PVT. Just not enough..

This is untrue, Snow had the lead several times.

It is UNFORGIVING, but Snow could have won this series.

There was one tactic that Bisu pulled out in his series vs Soma, that I've previously considered and I could see making a small difference in the matchup, at least in the spots that were relevant today.
The 1 sair scout after scourge are out, but before the sairs reach critical mass to roam safely.
Relying on zealots or a DT to scout at the same time...can work, but significantly lower success chance.

Bisu won that one game after a crazy Soma throw. That's the only reason it went to g7. ZvP is imbalanced. There are so many Zs with dominant win rates. P reaching even 55% is miraculous.

PvZ is hard but Bisu is of course right: skill matters most. Soma was the better player which is why he won today.

Two losses came as a direct result of his corsaies being in the wrong place at the wrong time. One time greeding for overs and missing critical info on hydra bust on time. the other being corsairs greeding for overs in the last game, giving soma the chance to jump his army plus mutas onto snow's army, while snow taking the mineral only third, and sniping templars with a hydra follow up onto the ramp. That fight cost snOw so many templars and dragoons, that he could no longer get a 4th base.

The real winners on ASL finals day are the fans because we also get a fat online ProLeague series with all the names.

P.S: The people saying Soma is just beneficial of the match-up for this title are delusional. He clearly showed you that he is superior to his opponent in the finals.
