It's not direct scouting path though: ![[image loading]](https://i.postimg.cc/BZjFrJ8B/Untitled.png) I guess the idea is to trick Soma into thinking he goes 1 base and that location for a hidden Hatch is least expected and to be fair Soma didn't realize it at the beginning. He lost the game because Soma hid his lings so well, not because of that Hatch. If the Hatch was close, he might mitigate the early damage, but would still lose. | ||

It’s more about the randomness of ZvZ. Right now, his ZvZ win rate is below 50% (30–31). That’s not champion material. His vsT is at 50%, but his ZvP is ~64.5% - way better than the other two matchups. | ||

All you said is that he can't play ZvZ at a high level. you also said that ZvP is not enough to win ASL. Check ASL20 playoffs bracket | ||

And we had one longer game. Hive is a pipe dream without a patch. Even 3:2 wouldn't be very long. What was the viewership like? Normally, ZvZ is skipped by many. | ||

Funny that Soma and Mini are quite similar in style (dangerous BoX players, mind game, ruthless, cheesy) while Best and Hero also resemble each other (macro god). | ||
