As someone who didn't really know sOs too well pre-Blizzcon, this article is really accurate and well written looking back on it now after watching his WCS final games. Good job lichter

the article is good, but he hugely underestimated how good sOs has gotten at PvT.

I think everyone did that though

I mean, 6-2 against Bomber and Polt? You'd be hard pressed to predict any Protoss player to pull that off.

Not to take anything away from sOs, he played great. However in the games against Bomber, I felt him coming back was more Bomber trowing it more then sOs's genius. In particular, on the Derelict game, Bomber was very far ahead, but failed to read into sOs's plans, failed to take a 3rd sooner and propel his economy while sOs was unable to deal with it.
Failed to drop sOs when he realized he was dealing with a chargelot archon comp, which is bad at scouting/map awareness as well as poor in the units that can deal with drops efficiently.
And then he insisted on being out on the map when he didn't need too, and lost too much HP on his army due to overstiming.

So, I think it might be you guys that are overestimating just how good sOs has gotten at PvT. Yes it takes a good player to be able to make good reads and play to his strengths to come back, but it also takes a failure on his opponent's part for there to be any hope.

And Bomber made several large mistakes.
