Of the 15 he won, he showed utter dominance against everyone, including Light, Snow, Rush, Royal, Mini, with regular scores of 8-1, 7-2 or 6-3. In many of them he was just up like 5-0 or 5-1 in the first place and the other player probably got 1 2 games back as consolation. His win rate in the past 3 months against: Snow 64%, Rush 74%, Light 65%, Royal 66%, Mini 71%. Only Bisu comes close to 50/50 with him. Maybe Flash if he comes back. | ||

I've watched his ZvP with frustration. The guy is impossible to break on 3 bases in like 80+% of his games. Navigating the lategame in the required way is a feat I've only seen Snow pull off. Bisu is also quietly the most stately macro beast on the ladder in the matchup. He's not afraid to go Archon Dark Archon Storm 200/200 and win off slow steady chip with reavers or his gateway strike squads. But to get there without giving Soulkey an economic power window requires a lot of really slippery tells and leads. | ||

But to get there without giving Soulkey an economic power window requires a lot of really slippery tells and leads. During mudfestival offline tourney vs Bisu, he showcased his super lategame ZvP. He deviates from other macro zergs like larva and plays in very cost efficient manner despite being aggressive. Compared to larva who builds a lot of thing and then throws the kitchen sink.

Problem is, I wish Soulkey was a mega-charismatic performer because then him smashing it would be great sport. As it is I feel his dominance comes a bit at the expense of the spectacle, because he doesn't wear it like, say FBH or Larva would/did. | ||
