the USA flag is Liquipedia's april fools joke. Snute is playing Killer in the finals 3-1 atm. He beat Sheth 3-2

Sick burn by grubby.
"If only Hyrdra's had a speed upgrade" "Its called creep"
He kinda lost me as a fan a little while back, but he's still a great caster.

Oh wow I can't believe Snute didn't see that coming... I guess it's one of those things where you don't think about it in the heat of the game.
|
That was a GREAT trap by coL.Killer!

Snute's got a lot of things to work on before he's the next Stephano, but one thing that I really like about him is that he is willing to switch it up - you want that in a tournament setting.

I can taste the victory gogog snute!

The funny thing is that Snute countered that perfectly. I think he did sniff it out - he was following Stephano's style to the letter but then decided to put down spores which I don't think is standard - at least, Stephano doesn't put down spores for the sake of it but depends on his game sense to tell him that he has to do it. That said, Grubby is right about banelings being the counter to DT builds - but I think Snute didn't want to go for it this game.

Wow Snute is just going in once again... this is very questionable...
Edit: Talk about throwing a game when it was for the tournament win... wow. If Killer wins this next one, he will be hitting himself for that loss...........

oh wow move command. lost so much with that nice forcefield too
|
((( You can see how tired snute is and now I have to go to work. Damn snow means I have to scrape my car
|
He's clearly incredibly nervous. Those were some huge mistakes.
|
Wow, snute bungled that so hard.
|
Ah, damn. Snute threw that. I think he is too nervous.

SNUTE WHY DO YOU HATE HIVE TECH
FOCUS AND GOGOGO YOU STILL GOT THIS
|
he finally got too nervous. tbh he can probably not recover from this. first breakout performance and had it in the bag a couple times and lost, killer is probably going to win, but snute is playing better overall.

Tiiiilllllttttt 
I think we're seeing one of the main weaknesses of Snute, though - he's very good early game and mid game, but late game he doesn't know how to close it out. I haven't seen Snute tech to Hive once, yet that is the bread and butter of Stephano's play these days - fast tech, fast upgrades.
The lack of upgrades goes hand in hand with Snute's style. Win early/mid game and upgrades don't matter. The problem is when a Protoss defends that aggression and gets up a good number of tech units. Then Snute falls apart because he doesn't have the upgrades and the tech to fight that army.

Stephano puts down pre-emptive spores vs P so they're up and ready at about the 8 min mark
Or he might have moved away from that, but atleast he used to do so.
Also, go Snute!

This post reeks of blind fanboy bias. There are factors for both players (such as lack of sleep for killer) and that both of them have had to play many games, that are influencing them. Snute really isn't playing very well, his builds are very good but his decision making in most instances hasn't been.

Such a strange build from Killer... for the Ace match of the tournament.
