JD + Flash vs Effort + Myth.Leto (one of Korea's best top 2:2 dudes)
My god this game was too scrappy I did not understand how this played out. I want to see a replay analysis of this haha

When Flash, BIsu and JD leaves for the military, we're left with B+ versions of what we used to see. It's not a huge drop-off but man I really need to see games that at least have that level of play. Historically Broodwar spoiled us with better eras each year and since the SSL days this will be the 2nd time we'll be seeing a less elite pool of players competing.

Happy to see Soulkey win one. He has been such a strong and well-rounded player, I think it's about time.
I agree that last game was great, but Soulkey's advantage was too great going into the midgame. I guess 5-racks isn't an allin in a strict sense, but it is very allin-ish in the sense that you are putting all of the eggs in the 'deny or at least greatly delay the 3rd' basket. Sharp wasn't able to do that, and even though he played great in the second half of the game he couldn't claw back from extreme disadvantage.

Loved Soulkey's play the entire series, especially game 4(?) where he faked Sharp with the fast lair + hydra den and took a fast 3rd to another nat. There was one moment where Sharp stormed that nat expo and burned down the nydus and Soulkey saved the entire game with a clutch consume + swarm from a half health defiler. Has to be stressful playing as a zerg when if your swarm is just 2 seconds late or out of position you just get run over. It's probably the only matchup where I find myself rooting for one race over the other regardless of who is playing.

Sharp loves "tricks" too, he's managed to win with crafty builds that throw off people who don't know how to adapt (Rain). Leta feels like a worse version of him. I enjoyed game 1 a lot, nostalgia 1 base builds are my favorite thing to watch
I agree with you blackjack, good zerg play is inherently stylish and fun to watch imo. I'm always hoping zergs win, or mid/late game micro based play from other races (like bisu going corsair reaver as or very drop heavy play)

zerg is the sickest race by miles. everyone wants zerg to win
Soulkey just went 8-1 in the semifinals and finals vs all terran. beastmode
