The best ASL by far, we got Soulkey vs Best on sunday, whoever wins has got a very decent chance against either FlaSh or LaSt
Meanwhile Bisu vs Shine has got some history between them, it's been said that Bisu has always had trouble (and mostly lost) against Shine's unorthodox builds, more so now that Shine has got some confidence and momentum. |

did best really have 20+ goons without range in the final game. Sad way to go, although I'm happy,
as it means I get at least one zvt. ;p |

On the other hand, Soulkey is doing really good job in giving his opponent every chance to make those mistakes and then punishes them.

I can't believe they don't make the players play in sound proof booths. You can hear thr audience yelling stuff as Best goes for DT drop in game 5 then SK starts to move overlords to his main. I've heard conflicting things on if the pros can hear anything but why risk it. Ruins the feel of the game if you have to wonder if the pros are getting tipped off by the audience. |

I played several tournaments in SC2 where players could clearly hear casters. Like in German EPS finals you could hear german casters while playing and in french ESWC (Super big international tournament) french commentators could be heard crystal clear. In fact that tournament was won by Stephano (french player) way too easily. Whenever I asked why stuff wasn't soundproof the answer I was given was that it costs too much money and it was implied tournament organizers weren't incentivized to put the money for that purpose because it wouldn't bring them much benefit at all. |

So we're looking at:
Bisu vs Shine - rejuvinated bisu and shine battle it out, best pvz toss vs unbelievably creative player with many gears to his cheese/rushes. Where bisu is strong will not matter that much vs this zerg, really exciting games
Soulkey vs T(last or flash) - another creative and tactical zerg vs either of the two best Terrans around, they're basically one player really.
Finals could be:
Bisu vs Flash/Last - Highly likely, nergasm of a series, prepare for the most epic hyyyype
Shine vs Flash/Last - Very nice backstory David vs Goliath, sentimental favorite in Shine vs inhuman FlaSh
Not so epic outcomes would be:
Shine vs Soulkey - Very unlikely,
Bisu vs Soulkey - Not likely, still decent games |

yeah I wouldn't be excited about a shine vs soulkey final but that seems really unlikely. And every other matchup is awesome. |

Not exactly epic, Flash mainly just executing solid aggressive strategies really well. Good to see him move on obviously. |

Flash straight smashed on Last. Game 1 was beautiful. Last was actually ahead and got absolutely dismantled by dropships and wraiths |

He was ahead because flash spent money on techhing to those dropships. |
