I love Trap, but he’s going to lose. Protoss and winning GSL isn’t happening and Dark isn’t enough of a pushover to circumvent the law dictating that Protoss doesn’t win GSL.

It’ll be another 2-4 loss that makes for the typical PvZ GSL, imo

This has 4-1 score to Dark written all over the place, but I hope I am wrong. I think Trap PvZ is amazing vs top EU Zerg, but Lambo got him good with that weird timing and push when Trap was not ready most of the time. I just think Trap game base much on Ground push, not Skytoss, and Dark is very good to die to any Toss ground army even with just Roach Ravager. And if it gets to late game, Dark seems to be a more-equipped player than Trap. Not to say that he cant do it, but I dont ever remember Trap winning any big series base on late game, while Dark has shown he is all about lategame in recent memory.

I see this playing out in a similar fashion as PartinG vs Dark, with the exception of improved decision making from the protoss, and better late game army control. Mass queen infestor won't stop Trap. I say 4-2, Trap wins.

Trap usually lost when I thought he will win.

And I think he will lose this time.

Dark got the Cheetos dust figured out and that's why he'll win 4:2

Predicting a 4-2 win for Trap, or 4-1 by Dark. Leaning toward the former.

I'm hoping that Dark wins to bring the glory for the Swarm, plus, the dude is on fire lately and if he was ever going to take it, I think it would be this time.

Trap so good though, such good decision making and just solid general play all around, the guy can play any style masterfully and will surely look to play his game and not Dark's which really looks like where Dark struggles.

Head? Trap 4 - 3

Heart? Dark 4 - 3

Trap 4-3.


Does storm actually DPS fast enough to overcome transfuse on queens? They are so tanky.

Also generally, what's the correct counter to queen, ulta, infestor, viper? Do you just have to hit feedbacks with HTS and then actually use disruptors? Or is there something stronger?

Just hoping for a good, hopefully great finals and ideally a Trap win!

Hope Trap can take this one. It felt brutal seeing him make it to back to back finals he had no real chance in, whereas this should be a solid opportunity.

Trap should have a small edge if mindset isn't an issue

4-0 dark if this is cursed Trap

Hmm, I am a bit tired of seeing loads of that multi-purpose unit every single game. If Blizzard learned from their other games, transfuse, being an instant cast, should be a HoT, heal over time, instead of an instant heal. Maybe then we wouldn't be seeing these crowds of invincible units (they can tank disruptor shots too).

If Zerg controls correctly there really isn’t much a protoss can do

This may prove that Dark's control of three different caster units at the same time are extremely good to counter Protoss's mixed carriers + gateway composition with Queens for the healing purpose, Infestors for microbial shrouds/fungals and Vipers for abducting. You may wonder why not Parting doing the same thing with all Protoss's caster units available there.

While on the other hand, Parting had not utilized any single High Templar, only use Oracle for detection purpose. I guessed with combinations of high templar, oracle and sentry at the same time into Protoss's mixed carrier +gateway composition, you can do a lot. For example, massive Hallucination Collosus and High Templar feedback on Queens (like Zest used to do) would help deceiving Dark into making tone of ultralisks prompting a much lesser hydras and Infestors with only Queens targeting the Interceptors.
