With his current level of play, no. But I think lux definitely has what it takes to bring his zvp to a higher level for the finals. There's a history of players redefining their weak mu (like jd vs stork) to win finals. Lux is capable of this. | ||

I never said favorite, please stop drawing false assumptions because I don't like Luxury and you do? What I'm saying is that Luxury certainly does not have a free MSL final ride like it has been implied here, ZerO is a hell of a lot better then people give him credit for. ZerO's ZvZ wins have been very recent and he's been on a complete tear, Luxury however has not. ZerO is not the favorite but I certainly wouldn't consider Luxury one either. | ||

Well, he dropped that den there when the first scv was scouting from the ramp down. Maybe Leta just saw the dot on the mini map and could't click it. That is why he sent the second scout down, and Lux crossed him up. | ||

Hell no Luxury is as strong as any other contander . Terran players at their best only have 50 % chance against him and he has showed promise vs protoss after he beat Kal twise and all - killed samsung khan and 5 pooled Bisu  . I fear for his match against Zero thought ZvZ is such an unforgiving MU  . | ||

I don't know man, he's played some friggin insane games these past few months  Then again, he does seem to get nervous in stage in these tournaments. At least some of his play looked... off at times today.If anything, I actually think Luxury just read Leta through and through in game 4 and 5. OK, I admit I'm really being biased against him. But it was all the hype on TL.net, like he would bring a new age for Terran or something. And then the fact that he advanced by beating Flash with a cheese build was the last straw. So it seems quite fitting that he would get eliminated from both leagues on consecutive days _just like Flash_ (who is still a far better player despite TL.net coverage of Leta). | ||

But anyway, Lux played really good starcraft in game 4 and 5, he deserves it. | ||

Every other Terran would fall to him though quite easily. | ||

I'd say that Luxury could very well be the favorite against Jangbi in a Bo5, depending on which map gets played twice. Have you seen his macro in recent ZvPs... in his last game against Jangbi, for example? It's pretty insane. | ||

Smart move by Lux abusing his opponents insecureness. | ||

And please Leta can look as scary as he wants in PL/WL but individual leagues dont work that way, experience and personal motivation are simply different just look at by.hero/flash/stork/hwasin/best/forgg if you know what i mean. | ||

Well Flash was looking pretty unstopable everywhere and then Luxury took him out in Ever OSL 2008 ... Hwasin chokes most of the times so i don't know if he can bring his best for a series . | ||
