(Z)SKT_soO passed a momentous milestone in the GSL, becoming the first player ever to reach three consecutive finals. With a 4-1 victory over (Z)JinAir_TRUE in the semifinals, soO confirmed a spot in the grand finals against teammate Classic. It will be soO's third final against a Protoss player, having lost to Dear and Zest in previous seasons.

soO


Not surprisingly, the series played out mostly as a roach war. The 1-4 scoreline was somewhat unfair to TRUE, who looked to be on even footing with soO for much of the series. TRUE seemed to be even stronger than soO in the mid-game phases, accumulating big army and bank leads on several occasions. However, TRUE was just unable to defeat soO in the crucial late game battles, not even with several mass spore cancels to inflate his roach count.

The Code S finals between (P)Classic and (Z)soO will be held on June 28th from GomTV's studio. The event marks the first SKT team-kill in a major Korean finals since Boxer and iloveoov faced off in the EVER2004 OSL.

Third time's the charm I feel.

And soOjwa's going to be claiming his rightful place as the best zerg in the world.

Instead of winning it 4-1.
Zest wasn't better than soO, he just lost to SKT T1 Zerg curse.

But this time things are going to change.

According to aligulac :

        (1807) soO  0-0  Classic (1919)    
-------------------------------------------
4.11% 4-0 0-4 9.14%
9.04% 4-1 1-4 16.45%
12.42% 4-2 2-4 18.52%
13.65% 4-3 3-4 16.67%
-------------------------------------------
39.22% 60.78%

Median outcome: soO 3-4 Classic

Estimated by Aligulac. Modify.

I would hate to see soO loose again though :/

So SKT beat JinAir. And now we'll get to see: will the third time be the charm, or will the third strike mean he's out?

Undoubtedly impressive by soO. I get the feeling he will remain undervalued even if he wins this finals. If he loses a third time, I wonder if he will be able to bounce back again.
