JD, Light, Flash, Snow had huge hype where the experience itself can never match. Even Leta vs YSC, the underdog match had huge hype around it. Things like that tend to make people feel underwhelmed because of it. | ||

soma is the worst zerg to go 2port wraith against... in his 33 game marathon session against rush he went burrow so wraiths do no damage, into crazy zerg, with queen+ensnare on the way to hive to completely shutdown the wraiths | ||

It’s crazy that Protoss has gone title-less for nine consecutive seasons. The last time a Protoss won was Mini back in 2021, five years ago. | ||

Shuttle in ages immemorial lol Rain in objectively super P favoured season And mini, barely That's it? In how many seasons? | ||

Quarter Finals: Snow, currently top Protoss, GOAT of PvT. Semi Finals: Light, currently best Terran and best TvT (except Flash). Finals(if no upsets): Soma, current champion and likely overall the best Zerg atm. A proper sendoff. | ||

Can Soma Retain his champion title. He has all ZvT's on Slightly T favored maps for the rest of the event. Can Leta pull off the most unexpected ro4 performance of the season? Yep he already did that. Can he go further? Can Light prove he is the best terran, He beat a near soma level JD, he now faces the GOAT, Can he rip the title out of Flashes hands? Can Flash enter and win a tournament at whim, decide to win solely so that he can retire even more acclaimed and do it despite incredible physical hardships limiting his practice? There are 50 billion ways to look at the tournament we have and be excited. | ||

But that's Flash for you, he scanned it and knew that was the perfect time to strike. | ||

There are 50 billion ways to look at the tournament we have and be excited. The real storyline is that Protoss continues to get owned, and that asl put its thumb on the scale to try and get flash a send off win. Storylines that are forced by those that have the power to control things isn’t interesting. Next asl will be like the previous one. Maps that people say is p favored, but they can’t explain why(because they aren’t) and Zerg will win again. I have been watching matches before replays existed. But I have really lost interest because every year it’s more and more obvious Protoss has huge weaknesses compared to the other factions. Rooting for the underdog can be fun, but is also predictable and tiring. Brood war won’t get patched so I am basically checked out after all these years. Congrats to the z and t players for their brilliant choice. I cannot imagine anyone serious about winning games playing Protoss | ||

Sadly we wouldnt know how well he could have done vs Soma in ASL with such mappool. I have the feeling the maps are a bit more helpful to him compared to last season when it comes to pvz. But yeah hard to tell. ASL put all the eggs in Terran Basket to change the race winner this season. It is what it is. His Jane Doe build was a pure throw. All he had to do was play standard. | ||
