How is SOOP chat somehow even worse than Twitch’s haha?

Feels the matchup these days has kinda flipped around, where before Toss had to mix it up and hit clean to prevent Zerg getting into a late game where a top player was generally favoured, now it feels that’s swapped around

SHIN’s had some early success but feels like he’s running out of steam/herO’s adapted a bit. It’s WombaT’s LawTM in reverse!

Congratulations to herO, and what a hell of a run by Shin! Really impressed by his play this tournament.

I was at the studio today. There were a lot more SHIN fans than herO!

When a play favored herO, thr studio was quite silent, but audience exploded for SHIN's plays. Felt like I was the only one clapping for herO and cheering for him at times.

Glad to have experienced it in person!

G3 and g5 are pretty good
Maru made a big blunder early on game 5 but managed to make it a macro game
Looked quite good up until + Show Spoiler +

when he didn’t unsiege his tank vs the two nydus and lost all production

Yeah Shin won 2 late games vs Maru, where Maru was in a position where in any previous encounter between them I would have said the game is over in favor of Maru. Really impressive stuff.

great and fun games overall imo. i was cheering for Shin after winning vs Maru but sadly it couldnt be

Shins first 2 games in the final were great but herO adapted and Shin didnt i guess that was the gap between the two in the finals. GG! everyone and lets watch another GSL!
