While I do consider Flash to be the greatest of all-time, by a margin, I do not personally know that he is for sure the best Terran player right now, this event has me doubting him, for the first time in a long time. Snow has been amazing forever and is capable of beating nearly every terran player in a match. I feel like tonight we find out which Flash we are getting in this ASL, are we getting the Magnus Carlsen of Craft or are we getting a strong player past his prime. For comparison Snow imo has been near his all-time prime for a while. What an exciting match. I really wish the maps this season didn't feel so advantageous for terran but after what Soma did on the last years maps, I guess the anti-Soma balancing has had the desired effect? If Flash wins, the Finals could be Soma vs Flash which would really push craft forward strategically. If Snow wins he has a chance at a zerg redemption arc against the best zerg of RN, Soma. Watching JD vs Light last night, I wondered in g1 "Could Flash today do this?" I am truly excited for either of these players to reach the next level. Hope PvT gets some movement in the meta as well. I imagine that Flash has exact timestamps for when reavers can appear burned into his eyelids and will have some methodically thought out contingencies. Hoping both players get to show their best craft possible. | ||

So, we have a wild-card like many years ago, we usually do wild-card for losers from Quarterfinals. HERO, tulbo, JD, and SnOw will compete for a seed that FlaSh left. That was the way Sharp who got in seed group before. | ||

And historically, that makes me worried. He's usually on fire in one matchup in offline, not both, and it doesn't switch quickly. The recent bo13 vs Light also doesn't help increase confidence. And, of course, it is Flash, who'll prepare stuff, to the point of blind counters if necessary...and it's terran maps... I'll prefer to have low expectations and have the chance of being pleasantly surprised by the series. | ||
