Him getting pwned in practice was kind of the foundation for that argument.

well, they could have replaced their "semi-ace" with the play off ace

Can't risk him getting killed off by the booth 5 mins into the game.

No it wasn't. The foundation of my argument is that you're asking us to believe something based on what we don't know. That works in a few things in life, but it won't work here.

smh every zerg knew soulkey was going to 15hatch, why did effort not early pool ! hopefully he plays well then.

This is as silly as saying that a bio player losing 0-2 proves that bio isn't viable, just because his composition wasn't hilariously off. You were tricked and have 2 vikings too few to defend his colossi. You didn't scout ahead enough and ran into some storms. And saying something as simple as "air/tempests wins everything in lategame TvP" is almost insulting to the beauty and complexity of the game. Neither player played perfectly and he had a plan as he didn't just immediately gg. I could say also that a terran that has a 190 supply army wins everything lategame, but there are so many factors to consider and still so many ways to lose. I don't think you can say something so conclusively.
In a pro game you can lose if anything is slightly off. That's common sense. You should know this.
I also choose to trust a professional gamer who was comfortable enough to let the game go that long and do it 3 times and surely has a much better understanding of the game than you.

No it's not. There are plenty games were bio works, there is 1 game where mech vs toss worked, and it was basically a complete derp by Classic.
