Any insights into recent 0-5 loss of Dewalt to Terror? Is it Dewalt's form or Terror's pvt that lead to such result? I'm slightly concerned for this showmatch to also end up being one-sided ...

I think there could be a lot of factors at play. Lagg may be one but foreigners seem to be more used to playing with higher latency.
Timezone differences is another important one. Dewalt lives in Siberia so morning time for him is night time in say Peru. That was the time zone difference during the Dewalt / Dandy showmatch on Trovo for example. Someone could be really tired at the end of the day (especially if they had been playing many games) while someone else could be more fresh earlier on in the day.
Changing body rhythms and general mood changes may be another one. Players are human beings and feel the same ups and downs as everyone else. They may have other things going on in their lives too which could affect their performance. People do have 'off' days.
I think in a showmatch between Dewalt and Scan, many people would expect it to be lop-sided in Scan's favor. But people still seem interested in seeing Dewalt or Bonyth go up against semi-pros.
The map pool of this Theleo_ua & e.sport fund showmatch series is very different and includes many old maps so do keep that in mind.
Just saw the games! What an amazing series! Recommend everybody to watch it. And this Voddy guy -- please please cast more! That was some amazing casting!
Thanks mate. Unfortunately the resolution of stored VODs on Trovo's beta version is 720p. So the YT version may be better. I posted it in the OP of this showmatch series
Liked the casting, not so much the series, felt like Scan was obviously the better player (despite not playing great) and Dewalt got lucky a couple of times, good thing that didn't happen in the last game (despite Dewalt should've been able to win that easily). I guess after watching the ASL games of Scan I thought he was up there with the really good players, but I didn't really see that here.
Great series and high level casting! But I felt the games could have been better as Scan was doing weird builds and not reacting properly some of the games.
Thanks for your comments gentlemen. Dewalt and Scan have probably played countless of games together. I wouldn't be surprised if Dewalt was unable to take games away from him at times. No shame to losing to Scan, though. Great to see him in ASL. But I can only imagine how much anxiety they must all feel playing live...

Yep, and despite my earlier comment might seem somewhat negative I did have a great time watching the games, thanks for organizing this! Really fun to watch.
