Creator is legit. He was running circles around Trap in those big engagements.

Shame he doesn't stand much of any chance against Rogue. 4-0 or 4-1 is inevitable
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Fuckit, I'll tune into the finals just for Creator. I know it's very, VERY unlikely, but imagine if he took home his first individual championship in TEN YEARS. That's a hell of a story.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

On the other hand - would it really be a greater miracle that Creator beats Rogue in the finals than that he reached the final at all?
He has done the unthinkable already so I think it's not impossible he goes all the way

Unfortunately destroying hype trains is what Rogue is made for, so I know what to expect from the finals


Yeah this seems primed to be a god awful finals where Creator gets 4-0ed in quick painful cheeses

I would give Creator more chance than that actually. Trap seems to be a bit underwhelmed while under pressure, but Creator is playing free at the moment, and he has multiple good builds that similar to how Zest play PvZ. If Creator can take 2 early games from Rogue, it would be very exciting.


In a good, decent world sure, but we have

1. Rogue (PvZ in general) makes for shit finals
2. Rogue kills players people actually want to see win
3. Rogue has a track record in these long series
4. Its PvZ in a longer series with a top Zerg

I just don't see Creator surmounting everything, this is the perfect setup, the race that hasnt won GSL in years has a player thats on a crazy career hot streak that everyone is happy and excited for and hes facing the player known for killing hype and winning in the late stages of tournaments.

Whatever chances Creator has are very very minimal imo

Dont get me wrong, Rogue is still the heavy favorite, but I think Creator got some real shot at an huge upset. I just feel that Creator game align more with sOs and Zest with those crazy build and timing, which could work better against Rogue.

He strikes me as more of a Trap in his prime to be honest, he looks very all around solid with great control and not too cheesy, not too predictable, not too one-phase-of-the-game-focused, basically the best kind of Protoss player, and probably the best kinda player in general.
Incremental change is the Democrat version of Trickle Down economics.

Really enjoy Rogue as a player but I would love to see Creator win to break the curse, reward his long time commitment to the game, and most importantly I want to see all the balance discussions if Creator wins

Creator you beautiful bastard. It feels like he straight up better-playered Trap. Not what I was expecting.

Maybe he'll get 4-0'd but getting revenge on Rogue from the ro6 would be a great way to cap this run off
I think it's finally time to admit it might not be the year of Pet

In regards to this semis, what would a bo7 have really offered us. Creator was on a win streak and one more win by him would just be a blowout. For the ZvZ, even if it went 2-3 more games, as a viewer would it have been any more interesting. I agree that in non-mirror semis a bo7 offers a lot, but I don’t think bo7 would have improved this semis at all.

Possibly salty because of my fanboyism and Liquibet destruction.

Let’s be fair Creator played really well, I was impressed myself.

It’s a few good series vs Trap’s pulling off of numerous, numerous clinics over a 3 year period, let’s not go overboard :p

It’s not like Creator is playing Protoss at a level we haven’t seen before or anything.

I dearly hope he can pull off a win against Rogue, but it’s a long series and PvZ. Even in a meaningless practice Bo7 with no pressure whatsoever behind closed doors I’d favour Rogue, and this is the biggest stage, with one of the most mentally clutch players in the history of this game against one of the flakiest.

I’ve been wrong before this season, as my Liquibets will attest to, I certainly hope I am.

Rogue is just a killer of hype, dreams and souls

this is an Armani or Cure type season run for Creator

He will most likely regress after this cinderella story

Both cure and armani have been horrible ever since their cinderella runs
