But. Leta has spawned his own meta game in TvZ, His heavy wraith play for years made it predictable, his switch away from it showed depth and skill I didn't know he had. Now Soulkey has to prepare for all the vulture/wraith plays ontop of the current meta builds. I feel like Leta's own meta and the nature of TvZ are his biggest allies. I do feel that "wraith wary" play is suboptimal vs clean mech and bio plays and that this really could make a lopsided match interesting and maybe even close. I may have undersold how big of an underdog Leta is right now. Soulkey plays bw so smoothly, it looks like he has unlimited selection and mbs at times. The perfect zerg to deal with a "chaos agent" like Leta. The only way for Leta to win this match is to show up tonight and actually outplay Soulkey. Luck and builds won't win this, he will need to show a new level to his play. | ||

I am rooting for Leta and hope he wins, it's just unlikely vs SK. | ||

And leta is a tech oriented player which will be the perfect counter if Soulkey gets tightened to two bases and tries one of those 2 base lurker defiler all-ins like he did earlier this season of ASL. Irradiate the limited defilers gg. Using Soulkey and overrated when we talk about zvt should be illegal lol . | ||

Maybe Larva, as weird as that sounds. He will actually make lings instead of turtle style like soulkey and catch lights bio moveouts middle of map, and probably carry it to a win. Soulkey will get contained and grinded down, too defensive. Soma has a decent shot too. | ||

Okay around the year 2002, there was this fking epic ZvT on Lost Temple that was like an hour and 15 minutes long, It involved EVERYTHING. It was very famous at the time. I believe it was Terran 12 zerg 9. Anyway, the user id of the player in game was: KimMinChul Was that Soulkey? Did I see him play the dopest ZvT ever like 24 years ago? | ||

Hyuk has been a dangerous mind behind the scenes in bw for 22 years. Didn't he help shine in his breakout title win? | ||
