I will vote for July. ZvP seemed imba to me in the last months, especially toss is weak in the early game. Best will have to work hard and be lucky to be able to get in middle game in a good situation. But if he succeeds to do this, he should be fine.

Ah bollocks!
BeSt looked so bloody strong on Othello vs Luxury.
It's better than 2x Troy, but it's definately not good for mr sumozerg.

PvZ wise Othello is the most balanced map of the current OSL map pool, so I'm really happy they picked it as the one to be played twice.

Pretty much... it isn't Troy or Hwrangdro twice that's for sure. Way better than the semifinal map pools, although it didn't seem to make a difference in either case... :>

July will get whooped for the finals, it won't be a sad day.

I'd actually be happy with either one winning. The golden mouse seems like such a once-in-a-lifetime event.

Feel sorry for Backho because he's Lecaf and was killing left and right. Happy for July, and hope he RAPES Best.

As a matter a fact I did. You forgot to assess Best's stats on those maps. He has a very good ratio.

That's silly. If he didn't have a good ratio on these maps, he wouldn't be in the finals.

Wow, BackHo put on a really pathetic performance in this match. It's rare to see a game that makes me think "wow, this progamer has awful micro" but that's what my impression was of game four when BackHo seemed to be sending random units to attack July here and there while allowing his nat to be toasted by guardians.

Not really sure what he was doing out there, he seemed totally unprepared for this series from the moment that lame reaver-zealot attack died to July's mutas in game one.

*sigh* as a BeSt fan I wanted BackHo to go through, but now BeSt will have more of a challenge with July. This will make for a very exciting series and I'm glad the map pool has no Hwarangdo or Andromeda x2.
