So much army spend by Snow to try and get the high ground at 3 o clock and when he gets it nothing actually changes in the game...

Maybe he should have included a probe and built cannons there. He had minerals to spare.
Furthermore, tournaments should use matchup-specific maps

That was always going to be a tough map for Snow but his choice of strategy didn’t help. Just needed to build on Bisu’s blueprint I reckon.

Roaring Currents another Protoss graveyard. Kinda sad. Still, questionable decision-making by Snow.

Really Z favoured map which is always in consideration - but that felt like a very "flat" strategy from Snow to me. I don't really understand what the theory of victory is there? Obviously with the map itself it's hard to get the strategy down but that game just felt so all over the place in terms of what the objectives were.

Snow was so lost this game. He had such an great start and soma played right into his hand but just he outplayed himself.

All he needed to get an good bust with reavers on his front door around 15 min mark.

Right, where Z has a backstab base to engulf him, be serious

What a shit Zerg favored map in a Zerg favored MU.

HOWEVER!
I think Snow actually will win. Yeah, he lost this map, but he showed how good his multitasking and army controll is.
He just need to guess some build orders and he's winning this finale easy.

Snow had more bases max army the correct tech. Absolutely no chance for zerg to do anything at that timing.

Soma would have stalled him with sunkens and then you would see a hydra lurker pincer. Z economy is too strong for timing attacks on this map.

Actually we have seen very seldom such games. And in ASL it was just ugly.

60% win rate doesn't tell the whole story for ZvP on this map. In online games, Zerg lost mostly due to (a) in early days when strategies hadn't been developed very well, and (b) agressive play (to get a quick win) in early/mid game that sets them back massively.

In ASL, Zergs all chose to play defensively which is the correct strategy for Zerg on this map, and they win 100% of the games.

We actually didn't. I'm keeping track of all the PvZ games on this map recently.

Every time Protoss won the game would require a blunder from Zerg in the early/mid game by being too aggressive (like trying to bust the natural) or too greedy (4 Hatch before Pool).

If Zergs play defensively, they win like 90% of the times.

In ASL where the stake is high, they chose that strategy and won 100% so far.
