    FYI, all the pros commentating on game 3/5 pretty much thought Mini was 90:10 or 99:1 and that SoulKey should have just GG'd out earlier to preserve his mental state due to risk of it becoming reverse sweep if it got to SoulKey's head
    Some people thought this series was example of imbalance in ZvP but this series couldn't be farthest from it honestly... It's not like soulkey won due to some opener advantage from say, unscouted hydra bust or spire and all. He grinded and dragged game out through razor thin margins to lategame when it was all but lost when he was impossibly behind
    Fantastic series and it was way closer than scoreline ever suggested
    Mini honestly should have been able to bring it to 3:3 but the pressure from earlier games probably was too much from being behind 2:0

    • @abunja
      @abunja ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They just thought the Zerg instantly wins with Defiler, while not knowing that Zerg in transition requires a good chunk of good army and a healthy expo. Before Hive tech, they only got Lings, Hydra, Lurker and Muta which melts with Protoss midgame tech units like Reavers and Templars. If they decide to tech up while not having a quality army, they'll die in any Protoss attack. If they went Hive tech without having good expo base count, they can't keep the production up and will make less quality units instead. That's apparent in games 2 and 5, SK is only at mass Zergling at one time. If mini pushed that Sairs to kill Overlords more in game 2, he could've won because he can't keep just rebuilding Overlords in 2 mining bases while his Hydra count is slowly dwindling. If he just went to Shuttle/Reaver early in game 5 instead of Goons, the game will be very much different in his favor.

    What a tremendous victory for our winner here. His side of the top 8 bracket was absolutely disgusting, and getting the trophy after all that was nothing if not well-deserved. Strategically this set was something else, so much misdirection, backed up by the absurd tenacity to claw out of nearly every situation.

    A truly close 4-1. I have a feeling that taking mini to ultra late game was Soulkey's strategy. If you notice, most of Mini's games end in the early to mid game. Mini just seemed lost at some points during these games. Roaming around the center of map with his giant army. Looking lost as to how to engage and where to engage. Soulkey just seemed to have a clear attrition strategy.
    A small aspect was the mind games which soulkey won in at least the first 2 games clearly.
    Well played to them both. Mini did play well but was truly outclassed.

    • @abunja
      @abunja ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the spoilers, I guess. Soulkey's strategy to bait mini go to inefficient trades worked. Also the fact that mini didn't even considered to expand when he's ahead or even deny especially that darning game 5 (he could've taken all the ramp expos and left the top right for Zerg where it's vulnerable because of 2 openings). And it seems that he didn't want to create separate armies roaming in the map, and always goes one mass army going back and forth like a headless chicken. Also, game 2 is closer than you might think and I believe it's more favored to mini than SK. SK drop attempt didn't resulted much. It's 3 base P vs. 4 base Z, and SK doesn't have a Hive tech yet and banked all of its resources to Lurkers (1:15:40) for a Lurker spread. Mini could've denied any attempt for SK to expand and kept storming the base at 3 to deny mining and fight a battle of attrition from there. But instead, he tried to bust that Lurker spread and decided to back off when he realized that it's not a favorable trade.

    Looks like Soulkey is the 1st one to acknowledge how defilers are actually even more broken in zvp than in zvt.
    If you think about it, P doesn't really have a way to kill them, while T at least has irradiate. Under the swarm, the only units that work would be zealots, but in late game they get outclassed so badly by lings that they're not even viable, and if P catches a plague, then shields always take full damage and it's just laughable how quickly p units evaporate even against very few lings.
    The only things that work are templars and reavers, but you're forced to storm even against very few units, so in the end they're really unlikely to be cost effective.
    In this series Mini went mass archons, probably to minimize plague damage, but it didn't really work. The only option I guess would have been a massive use of shuttle + reavers + templars but again that's a very expensive unit composition that's hard to pull off if P is down to essentially only 2 mining bases.
    In the end I really feel like defilers were what allowed Soulkey to climb his way up to a comeback in both g3 and g5, that at some point almost looked hopeless for him.

    • @majormononoke8958
      @majormononoke8958 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It is true Zealots really lose value in lategame ZvP. But Shield dont take full damage if Protoss upgrades shields armor even buildings profit from it. It is true that Protoss cant do anything vs plague, but the army is still super strong. Dark archon feedback counters defiller. And mass Storms counters everything Zerg has similar to Irradiate in ZvT. Further the big thing you forget is the fact that Protoss needs less exposes in lategame and profits massievely from its Spell casters in Ultra late game vs Zerg. So once Protoss has 2/5 of the bases he just needs to defend to win. And generally the defender has an advantage specially vs units like Lukers ...

    • @legoboomette
      @legoboomette ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The main counter to dark swarm is actually psi storm since the aoe matches well and it's pretty easy to blanket dark swarms with storm. It's just not noticeable because storm counters everything, from every race, in starcraft.

    • @ShjadeNexayre
      @ShjadeNexayre ปีที่แล้ว +11

      @@majormononoke8958 That's not what they meant by "full damage." If you upgrade shields, they still take full damage -3. "Full damage" in this context means that shields take the same amount of damage regardless of which unit they're on: small, medium, or large. It doesn't take reduced damage from explosive weapons the way small unit health does, even if it's on a small unit.
      This is why marines, which have 40 hp, take 4 hits from a dragoon to kill, despite the dragoon's attack doing 20 damage, because it's 20 explosive damage which is then halved vs small units. If the marine had protoss shields, the shields would take 20 damage per hit, and then the marine's health would take 10 damage per hit once it's gone - the shields take "full damage."

    *SPOILERS*
    it's a pleasure to watch Soulkey's strategy. He never let mini attack for free. Each time Mini commits he gets hit back twice as hard, which is really similar to chess gambit. It's amazing to see strategy rather than speed/mechanics being the winning factor.

      Yes, he manages his APM quite well. Rarely lightning fast (for a Korean pro I mean), but somehow just what's needed in the moment.

  • @letsexplorelife927
    @letsexplorelife927 ปีที่แล้ว

    As a casual viewer, the defiler seems like such a broken yet. A unit that basically can nullify all projectile units and most races having nothing to really counter that considering it's always comboed with the lurker which is technically a projectile but acts as a melee attack. A spell that makes a unit one shotted after a few seconds, and technically infinite energy with the consume spell. Not sure what any race is supposed to do against this as it seems that Teran only has firebats and Protoss has zealots and reavers, while zerg has cracklings, ultras, and lurkers that counter almost all units.

    Soulkey overcame a lot of hurdles to get here, his matches gainst Rush and specially JyJ were so tough, and this series was no slouch, it may have been a 4:1 but Mini fought tooth and nails every single game, like artosis said, this is the closest one sided series ive ever seen
