I am very excited for tonights matches. Action V Mini predictions: Historically, Action has the racial advantage and a very good map pool for this matchup but Mini is the better player. So much so, that Action is a huge underdog going into today. Action has had one of the strongest lategame zvts since he came on the scene but his zvp has never been of the same caliber and he is facing Mini during a time where zergs are getting crushed in the middlegame by very stable, adaptive sair, +1, 4gate speed then dt then temps then 8-9 gateways into third. Stork used this to just maul Jaedong last week and Snow used it to great effect last night vs Miso. I consider Action a huge underdog and think he will get trounced if he goes for a 5 hat or 6 hat mass hydra - no lurker middlegame. I will feel somewhat hopeful for him if he adopts the 7 hat ling-lurker approach that effort has used to great effect for years. If I see him going for 3 hat hydra, I will assume he has no answer strategically or mechanically for the refined but not new build refereed to above. Mini has been playing the sexist PvZ since old Bisu or super prime Stork. His zealot micro is the best in the world. His build accuracy and clear judgment allow him to exploit timings that only exist for him. He is the reason 1gate fe is now a safe and viable staple build and to top it all off - he is a sneaky, dirty, clever abuse master. We may have just lost the only zerg who can bang with him to the military... and I think he mangled him last (asl?) season as well. Mini will win unless Action can play better against protoss then he ever has (offline). Last vs Stork predictions: The racial advantage sits with Stork, I consider the map pool balanced for this matchup but I am willing to hear arguments on this. Stork is on the rise but I consider Last the superior tournament player.... the problem is... on his worst day, at his lowest point in broodwar... Stork could still take games off of Flash and any other terran. This matchup suits his skillset so well that against anyone else I would rate him as a significant favorite. Last is the best Terran playing in leagues right now. He is at or near the top of his game, last week, he lost a scrappy match against the best overall protoss in the world (Rain) and in the process he demonstrated a few moments of micro that were the cleanest of anybody playing terran. I want Last to win but I think Stork will. Something about the brutality with which he put down Jaedong really made me reevaluate things. Looking forward to a great night with you all. | ||

There was this quote from the preview statistically speaking right now PvT is Stork’s weakest matchup(8W-14L 36.4%) and he has been playing Flash a lot I hope that "playing Flash a lot" isn't referring to the 8-14 record, because that's not terrible against Flash haha I assume that's not what it means, though Don't get time to watch players' streams. EDIT: The preview written by you, hah | ||

We agreed last night. Tonight, complete opposites. Your Action pick... is suspect 8) I would rather be wrong twice, then lose Last 8) | ||
