By far light's mech switch. Light is more than doubling SK's supply while SK is supply blocked. The pure vulture and suicide science vessel tactic however wasn't very good. Snow is basically a case of mediocre control letting Speed - playing fantastically - gradually catch up while Light's throw is a switch being turned off.
Also guess I don't even have to mention it but that game 3 was a blast. I've occasionally done a similar build for 20 years and it's a delight to see it on the highest level.

So.....we see Soulkey vs HerO in final again?

questionable play by light in game 2, i dont see how soulkey could possibly beat marine spam when losing multiple rounds of ovies. but overall good series.

Yeah that mech switch was disastrous for Light, really not sure why he doesn't just commit to SK terran there... The map has too many attack paths to reliably control with mines imo and he was so far ahead too. Unfortunate for him.

Wtf was that last game. Other games also raise question marks. Light lost the mental game completely. Seems like Light lacks confidence to play diagonal spawns or something.
I feel a bit robbed of Snow vs Light, but excited to see if Snow can do better than Light lol.

Indeed. That used to be one of my strategies to do on circuit breaker since terran almost never scouted early on for those expos. And depending on posiition you could sneak the hatchery behind the minerals haha.
It honestly feelt that SK went back to basics on this series. I was watching SK vs Light few days ago and he was having some issues to beat him. Sadly i dont think Light really showed his full power. A day off and some unluck really punished him today.

Did Soulkey even make a defiler this series?

I for one have been watching Sayian's channel since the beginning (2019 i think), when he had an old channel that is now no more. His cast is underrated (in the sense that more people should know about him and follow him). He had great guests, and Xun is the best co-caster so far!

A defiler mound was started in the 5th game, but the game finished before the mound did.

SC1 casters are a different breed. Knowledgeable, entertaining, nice people all around. So many good casters!

GDI Light, I really thought he would be the one to take SK down. Really checked out after the mech switch
SK is too consistent man, just utter destruction. RIP LB

Soulkey's killer instinct prompts him to finish off the opponent whenever opportunity crops up. He's not going to waste any time.
Even though he is a master of defiler, he only uses it when it's necessary.
