I think that Dark vs. Trap should be a much more interesting and even matchup, skill-wise. Much as I love Parting, in this series he was simply outclassed. That said, I think he's capable of more. I'm actually pretty happy with this finals, at least on paper. I'm good with any outcome except for an outcome where one of them gets trashed and looks helpless. Gonna ask the fates for a nail-biting finals this time... He’s definitely capable of more, didn’t quite show it and he was visibly frustrated at times too. It doesn’t always work but one thing you do notice of Trap’s PvZ, or even Zoun’s is that when they push, they push fucking hard and decisively, and when it’s skytoss time (Zest too here), it’s skytoss time. Felt to me in that series Parting was wavering a bit, he had the kind of comps you’d associate with a heavy midgame push, but he kind of sharked around for a bit and slowly transitioned to Skytoss, and arguably not in the optimal way. I don’t think anyone can play a passive/reactive macro game every set against a player of Dark’s calibre in this particular matchup, it just suits the race better if you have the strategic and mechanical chops of a Dark/Rogue/Serral etc. Hard to really point out any notable Parting blunders gameplay wise though, bar a few times he missed Lurker kills from losing track of observers, just his whole approach felt a bit off for who he was playing. I’m still unsure why he didn’t just go for a killing push vs a failed 12 pool, Parting is exceptional at relatively low supply kill timings and a big window opened up. Still, excited for the finals and hopefully Trap can get his revenge! Dark was showing some interesting things this series and in general PvZ feels way less hopeless than when Trap last made the finals those two times. | ||
