Snow was more dominant than even this last year in january. He had like a 90% winrate over 60 games. edit: i went back to check. He went 63-8 over 2 weeks. two of those losses came at the end of that period. If we remove those two we get a 90% winrate. He reached the all time highest peak elo at that time. | ||

Well, he has to translate that to offline. If 2 of those losses come from the group stages, he's out... | ||

I love JD but when I watch his approach to games, he just seems like a very very very good ladder Zerg right now. Nothing too impressive imo. He seems to cheese a lot, have very basic-theory builds and not be truly confident in his play. His results have been pretty good lately but when I watch the games, his approach doesn't impress me too much. When I watch SoulKey, herO, and even Queen, they're approach and game-sense / theory seems so much better than JD's right now. JD has the style where if he got lucky he could go on a Royal type of run to a title but it would have to be just that, a Royal type of run, aka a pretty lucky ass run. | ||

Sharp, BarrackS, and Speed have been reeeeeally impressive for like a year+ now though.

I think you are a bit hard on JD  It is true that imo, he gets outsmart too easily ingame and his gameplay is ultra standard in ladder. But is he going to play like this for ASL? Usually it's a different picture we get, the best example was EffOrt for this. The question is that is JD going to polish specific build orders for ASL or not? I wonder. Not sure if he is willing to have this approach of the game coze, he is more into lazy brute force mode, so in a sense you are right, but I am confident that he could do it. He knows what it takes to win. Regardless, his recent performance vs T are quite impressive, really felt like vintage JD killing protoss with 6 mutas. | ||

A: Bisu, Royal, Queen, Best, Speed, Rush, Mini, Rain, Light B: JD, Barracks, Action C: Stork, Shuttle, Mind, Ssak D: BTS, tyson, ysc E: Killer, Skey, Scan F: Clam, Hyun My A tier is probably a bit bloated but warranted. JD down in B maybe harsh. Action possibly too. | ||

Only reason SnOw didn't get to the Finals last two ASL seasons is Soulkey being on his side of the Ro8 Bracket. | ||

Was pretty lucky to get through Speed last season and got embarrassed by SK in the semis. If ASL was played purely online Snow would prob have won a couple of titles by now but he regresses offline. Still prob S tier but on reputation alone and not so much results. | ||

If he does this i think its pretty normal for him to reach the direct elimination stage. | ||

Yea protoss seems to just be plagued with chronic chokers: best, bisu, stork, snow... all perform much worse in offline than online usually. Only Mini and Rain have been able to win an offline tournament since remastered launched jeez. Even during kespa stork and bisu choked a lot in individual leagues. Bisu totally dominated proleague but never made it past Ro8 after like 2009. | ||

The ASL booths need one-way glass or P will lose to Z every time because Z can read the crowd to figure out the P tech path. | ||
