So sad mini didn't qualify, his games are always a blast to watch . Can't even remember the last time he didn't make Ro24!

I have a feeling that that Ro16 will be a lot more balanced, but this really looks like theyre rolling out the red carpet for flash haha

you're wrong.

Not gonna lie I stopped reading there, I know you are obsessed with arguing and I don't care, you'll have to find someone else to indulge your obsession with.

mini has been trending down for years and years; he's just not that great anymore.

mini is the highest rated protoss lately

you're also entitled to your opinion bro, lol what is it with the internet and people being so lonely they get addicted to arguing every opinion they don't agree with?

Mini is a known choker, too emotional to consitently stay at top in tournaments.

Because forum is a place specifically for discussion and debate. If you don't want your opinion, which can be right or wrong, to be challenged, don't post. If you can't protect your "entitled" opinion, it's likely worthless.

Also it's not like it's that much different in real life. People just argue less in real life because of politeness and the potential consequences to their relationship with friends/colleagues, not because everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Am I wrong in thinking Zelot threw the decider game vs Larva?

At that final moment, he had 5 (injured) Mutas, 5 Lings. Larva had 2 Drones, 3 Lings and 3 Spores. Zelot tried to micro his 5 Lings to kill the Drones, while leaving his Mutas idle, eventually losing all of his Lings and then of course the Mutas were useless against 3 Spores.

What I think he should have done is dive those Mutas into Larva's Lings. 5 Mutas should kill 3 Lings before the Spores kill them, right? Then his 5 Lings would have a free feast on whatever Larva had left.

Hindsight :p but yes. ZeLoT doesnt know what we know as viewer/observers, but he definitely did throw.

Gonna say it again, Mini never consistently figured out PvT
He got it to a point it was acceptable enough to compete for an ASL title for a few years, but just missing that last push to become an all time great. There continues to be no Protoss consistently good against all 3 races

Snow never figured out Z
Mini and Rain never figured out T
Best never figured out P
Bisu might be the closest, but still not as dominant vs T
Shuttle is pretty average at all 3 matchups

I think that's what separates the great players from the Bonjwas, the Bonjwas had period where they looked dominant in every matchup

SnOw for the past two years has dominated all zergs beside SoMa and Soulkey, who respectively were the best two active players in the seasons they got their championships. Saying SnOw never figured out Z yet outperforming ALL other toss players vs Z since 2022-2023 is a factually incorrect statement.

During Soulkey's 4 seasons as number 1, only Light and SnOw were beating Soulkey 50% of the time in Woniu and Starcast and Ult battle spons. Everyone else was losing.

But the "present" matters, and SnOw is not in his best form and probably 2nd to Bisu at the moment.

Just so blatantly obviously fixed to get Flash a deep run. Qualifiers and now this all T group…

They may want Flash to get a deep run but I don't think they have to fix the group for him though. The qualifiers will always be easy for him, and they drew the balls for Ro24 live, so unless caster Park has some tricks up his sleeve... and it's not like if they give him Z it'd be any more difficult (there's barely any P to give him).

There's more of a case of fixing the group for JD in past seasons. His qualifier was always piss easy and in Ro24 they almost always paired him with the weakest tier 2 player (since JD is still tier 3 according to ASL points)

Only the fact never changes from 1999 until now and forever: Protoss is the weakest race in every major league/tournament in Korea (highest level of StarCraft). For foreign players, no one can be S rank if they play StarCraft in Korea. There is 30%-90% their point from free points due to quit game immediately by Korean players.

Sometime Protoss just is weak, sometime Protoss just is weaker, sometime Protoss is very weak, sometime Protoss really weak. It's totally dependent to exactly health of some guys: Bisu, Stork, Reach, Jangbi, Mini, Rain, SnOw, Best. But all ASL Zerg, Terran players can beat them easily, even some guys can take champion title like soma, JyJ, RoyaL, Larva.
