aSpera vs VirtusPro - Starladder Starseries Season 7

?Most major tournaments have not started except for Starladder. In VP's new roster debut, the Russian allstars mix was treated to an extremely close game against team aSpera who are off to a great start in the tournament. The game went back and forth for 46 minutes and there was no telling who was going to win until the very end.

Having ForGG and Naniwa in one place is an easy recipe for an exciting match. As one of the best foreigners and Millenium's Korean ace clash, the result is a high-octane TvP featuring constant battles, storms flanks and ravaging bio drops.

Although the eyes of most StarCraft 2 fans stray away from the challenger league matches (especially in the days of WCS Europe and Korea premier competition), there are jewels to be found nevertheless. Puck vs Moonglade is one such jewel as the PvZ conflict between them goes from standard engagements, through massive late-game battles and to nail-biting base race that sees Puck struggling to defend his only standing structure against Australian's hordes.

Editor's pick: Sase vs Happy at WCS Europe Season 3 Ro32 Group B

If ordinary TvPs go towards bio armies shooting down templar/colossus balls for minutes and minutes, this one is nothing of the sort. Not wanting to fall to the usual shenanigans, SaSe and Happy play a game of kill the other guy first. Enjoy daring proxy 2-raxes and bunker rushes in this relatively short TvP.

While fans thought they might have been in for a treat to see Team Solomid defend their title as they have countlessly, Cloud 9 pretty much made it effortless.  This VOD makes the highlight due to seeing everyone's favorite North American team slowly be demoralized into defeat.  Game 3 showcases an utterly defeated TSM in one of the most unclose games we've seen to close out a grand finals.

What CLG brought us in this set was all the coaching they harbored off the Korean scene from Montecristo and the countless hours spent practicing for this tournament, unlike what we saw from the first game where it mattered against Team Solomid.  Counter Logic Gaming really got their skills together to close out a very decisive 2-0 and secured themselves a spot in Season 4.
