I'm really interested in what mindgames we will see in the Naniwa vs Soulkey match, considering:
- Both players last 10 played matches (actually 14 in Naniwas case), have been PvZs. - Both players are 6-4 in W/L. - Naniwa comes off a 3-0 sweep, Soulkey comes off a 0-4 loss.
So much study material. So much potential for mindgames. For instance, In his 10 last games, Soulkey never went for anything earlier than a 14 pool, always going hatch first. This is exactly what Naniwa claimed to be Revivals flaw. But seeing how Naniwa played against Revival, will Soulkey bring early aggression to the table?

Of course he will, it's only a question, in my mind, of how and when.

Let's be real. Naniwa fell behind in both games 2 & 3, and the only reason Naniwa won games 2 and 3 vs Revival was terrible decision making and poor execution when Revival was overconfident about him being far ahead.
Soulkey is unlikely to throw it away like Revival did.
edit: i mean Soulkey could play Revival's game but execute it properly...
