Light was basically behind in every second of every game. Reminds me of the Light I know from the past. Always good, never good enough to win anything and choking games away. Well, he got an ASL at last. Flash is probably too good for Soma, but Soma's play has also looked really dominant, so he should have a shot. I think it is 70:30. | ||

Absolute night and day. Edit: I meant MVP. Flash lost a Bo3 to him, did he not? Maybe that was already in the transition period where they forced them to play SC2 in Proleague? Anyway, that was an ugly loss but I remember SC2 fans saying it was just MVP being so good lmao | ||

Soulkey and Efforts wonderfully thought out transitions to mid/lategame. And he is an innovator strategically as well. He has the best game sense of any zerg right now, with the strongest mutas, only jaedongs lings seem to be microed better. He is the most perfect Zerg we have had up until now, and is a fine and fitting representative of the swarm against Flash. Will Soma prove himself legendary beyond doubt or will Flash get his fifth star? I think every result possible is possible with these two. What an amazing way to end ASL. Fk ya! I still think Soulkey’s overall play is stronger as Soma has times where he is too aggressive and cheesy without any backup plan. But that is also Soma’s strength due to the unpredictability of his play. Really excited to see the finals. | ||

Anyway, that was an ugly loss but I remember SC2 fans saying it was just MVP being so good lmao Flash had a period of weakness in TvT in the final years of Kespa. I don't remember what year it was exactly but it was at the time when he got knocked out by Classic and Ssak. This match against Light was indeed absolute night and day, just impressive. | ||

Anyway, i had to say it somewhere: it an ATROCITY that they promote a Razer product with Faker, and not Flash. It's an insult to all who watch ASL. Seriously, Razer retards could not have thought of using Flash himself to promote Razer stuff, they had to use Faker from another game, which most of us SC fans give a dogshit about? Waaau... New lows for me. Another thing: the intro music is horrible and generally that stuff has been for a long time in ASL now... I remember when back at ASL1 they used to play the blues man... Don't they realize that most people who watch ASL are over 30 by far? Why are they using these annoying girl teen music vibes... At least i've heard some Vivaldi mix, so that's something. | ||

As you might imagine, that promo vídeo is probably also used elsewhere. The fact that you know its faker and most people know him is the reason why you can have him promote your product even in different games. | ||

Broski what world you living in tbh. First of all razer using faker make the most sense from any marketing standpoint. Brand standpoint. Faker is actually the most famous esports player in the world by far. And the most crazy part of it is that he uses mouse and keyboard from the razer brand. Now lets go with Flash. Keyboard: Qsend DT-35 Mouse : WL Beast. At some point in Flash SC2 career KT Rolster was sponsored by razer so from a nostalgic moment i guess FlaSh could make a point for being in the AD. Now the biggest and absolute shit razer can do from a brand standpoint is using FlaSh when no long ago he was involved in the crypto scandal and almost ruined his career and his perfect reputation took the biggest hit ever to the point they call him these days Coinwa. And Koreans actually take image really serious when it comes to sponsorships and stuff like that. In fact is almost a miracle FlaSh wasnt ban from ASL. And the most important. just fck off and be grateful ASL is getting some sponsors.. Me personally i freaking hate razer and their shitty mouses. I got an abyssus for 50 euros that lasted 3 months and since then i black listed their products when it comes to keyboard/mouses. That said their mousepad goliathus speed is actually godlike. | ||

I haven't checked, but if it's an English song it's almost assuredly AI at this point, which means they don't have to pay to use it. | ||

He can make nearly any situation look like a smooth streamlined response and I am a big fan. But, Soma is much better at fighting mid-game armies and his judgement in those situations is legendary and decisive. I would love to be proven wrong by Soulkey getting top4 next season, but right now Soma is the last Zerg standing for a reason, second season in a row. I cannot wait for the finals, the meta may shift, Flash has a ton of inertia after this match. | ||
