Soulkey also seems to know sOs' habits (when he's walking out on the map and such) and abuses it perfectly by building the right units and the right timings and just takes the game from there.
Yeah but the thing is that sOs isn't playing like his usual self either. He did the same build three times in a row, and it wasn't his usual wonky builds either.

sOs is probably just mentally intimidated by Soulkey. They've known each other for years. Soulkey probably dominates sOs all the time in practice games. That master-slave relationship is now seeping out into a showmatch.

It's definitely kind of strange.
Soulkey is playing good, sOs is playing bad, Soulkey wins, nothing strange about that^^.
Which is why it's so annoying to see so many conclusions about protoss and the game in general being drawn~~
