Haven't watched yet, but last night I had a vivid dream about the match. I had a dream within my dream that Mini won 3-0, so after I woke up I placed a large wager on Mini, and then when they played Mini won 3-0 with all 3 games lasting under 8 minutes. Between Snow's horrid play and my bet, there were accusations of match fixing and Snow went to prison.
Funny cause I wasn't really even looking forward to the rest of the starleague.

PVP is the most cancerous finals matchup. I no longer mind watching TvT (with flash) or ZvZ (with either JD, Effort, Soulkey, Larva)
I don't like ZvZ for a series cause the games all have the same feel. There is some metagame with the RPS nature of going 9 pool/12 pool/12 hatch, but the games are just too similar to each other. PvP is kinda the same, but there's a bit more diversity early and there is the possibility of an end game.
TvT is pretty cool though, and I'd much rather have any non-mirror match than a mirror match series.

imo watchability of a series is something like tvz > zvp > tvp > tvt >>> pvp=zvz
yeah definitely. He lost some mining time and like 6 probes, but Mini's build order was a perfect counter to Snow's and he had a very significant advantage. Snow managed to pick off his shuttle with I think two reavers in it, that was the turning point. The high ground goons were a really nice touch though.
Was funny how Mini made a point out of snow having bad macro, because he really did. Both game 1 and 4 featured him, for whatever reason, floating more than 1000 minerals while being on two bases, and without all that much other stuff going on. Progamers generally don't do that. At the same time, I think it shows how many worse players mis-prioritize, and how important game understanding and unit control is. Snow just reached ASL finals while showcasing macro that honestly isn't much better, if better at all, than my own - it's rare that I float as much money as he did as early as he was floating. Would still lose 20-0.
so Rain is basically gonna 3-0 Snow and the 3rd place match is gonna be much more interesting... can we just have a reset of the season please with other maps ... is ASL only once a year?

ASL 1 was in June 2016, so this is the 5th season in less than 2 years.

I hope they make it a ladder map. A blizzard guy was asking on twitter whether people liked third world or polaris rhapsody more, and third world won with 75% of the votes, so I actually think they are planning on including it for next season.
