I was rooting for Flash but I have to hand it to Snow... he has improved a lot as a player since the last time he played Flash in a series. I thought Flash was going to 3-0 him.

GGs

I think Light may be a favorite against Flash in the next round?

Considering Snow recently lost 2-7 to Speed and 5-8 to Light in the chinese ultimate battle, he actually played very well today. Or maybe Flash is not that scary.... we'll see.

I love watching Flash parry shuttles, it was so beautiful. That and the constant stream of reinforcements for his pushes, that Jane Doe game was a pleasure to watch.

I'm so used to seeing Snow trounce on T's in ASL, it was great to see a close series.

Expected result but Snow should have prepared better for 2 base timing attacks. Flash pretty much played the same way all series.

game 2 was just bad luck for Snow going first nexus, if Flash didn't lucky scout in the right direction Snow would have been ahead and probably go on 2-0.

soma vs flash would be such a great conclusion to this season and flash's career. So of course we'll end up getting leta vs light lol.

Snow’s micro was crazy but Flash’s macro just superior. Great contrast in styles and a great series.

Btw, the way Flash is sitting kinda reminds me of the South Park WoW episode.
That posture just doesn't look comfortable, and bad to play longer stretches of time with.

It like showing someone prime mike tyson and theyre like "oooo welll hes not that good..." yea he is that good. You people need to shhh i'm trying to help you. Flash is 100% winning this ASL . Go ahead bet me 20 dollars each right now .. Please. I'm not even being a fanboy im just so fking mad at your super questionable take...but hey ...wanna bet buddy? Or would you like to stop talking? Let me know what kind of bet you would like to do but i got flash 100% .. youll all do well to listen.

@Sirris17 STFU Mr. at hindsight-know-it-all. Just stfu, don't belittle people and don't spam. You'd do well to get your superiority complex checked.

We need to look at the bigger picture, not just a single season. Sure, Protoss will win again sooner or later, but the long-term trend is hard to ignore. Their trophy count lags way behind Zerg and especially Terran, despite having legendary talents like Rain, Snow, Bisu, and Mini in the mix. The skill is definitely there, but the results just don't reflect it.


I think the biggest cause of this is PvZ. Protoss historically started doing well in tournaments after the Bisu revolution and even then it was due to Stork and Jangbi mostly alongside Bisu. The issue is zerg evolved and Protoss never really found a decent answer. A big gap happened and Bisu fell off compared to his past self and it doesn't really feel like anyone else has ever managed to get consistently good at the matchup again.

Zerg have so many overly powerful allins and semi allins early on and the only way you can stop it is to go heavily protoss favoured map wise which then ironically often helps Terran against Protoss as well. PvZ just feels like a completely problematic matchup from 1 side and I'm not sure what Protoss are ever going to be able to do to get out of the rut they're in.

The game ends so fast early on if you don't defend hard enough and if you defend too hard you get lurker contained and die later, it just doesn't seem solvable.

Drugs, alcohol, and probably a mental health condition.


About PvZ.

I think Paralyze holds an answer to PvZ, but not in his late game, but in his Early to Mid game transition. Paralyze generally holds any early to mid aggression better than the top 5 protoss do. But his transition into late is lacking in decisiveness and decision making. If the other top tosses can incorporate what allows paralyze to thrive against early aggression and hydra bust, we might see them create a late transition that works better than what Paralyze does.

I agree with you about Paralyze style however from the few recent games i ve seen it looks like it s precisely his early/mid game defense prowess that causes issues in late game.
But yeah maybe a good transition could be mapped
