I haven't really watched any Speed since last ASL, but I'm excited to see what he can do. | ||

I think the only 1st seed I am voting against is Queen. He's good when he's good but he let me down in the bets last ASL. I really want Barracks to make it out again, but he's got a tough group. Some of these groups will be tricky to call for me, especially with what my heart would want. Lmao @ the Pole Star call out. At least there's Fog in-game so we don't have to see it. | ||

And what about Bisu, the Protoss legend that sparked and never fulled. It's amazing a player of his caliber would never win a title other than MSL. Would Flash really be the only one from TBLS to win a title post Kespa? What form will he show this tournament? Will he be guided by this mysterious force that is driving Protoss innovation as well? The last time he took an absence like this actually, he did some amazing things in March... Find out next time...starting 3/24... | ||

Make them 50% against Zerg, that alone ensures they're also positioned ok against Terran. Terran doesn't need any kind of help, they never did. So basically easy to protect 3rd and gas rich 2nd and 3rd bases on all maps. Easy walls etc.. Example: Fighting Spirit bad, Polypoid good. Normally, that would induce a bit of a disadvantage between Zerg against Terran but nowhere near the one Protoss has to face on "standard" maps. | ||

Maybe I'm wrong but aren't maps with "free" 3rds really good for PvZ also? God's Garden, Medusa, Return of the King... edit - actually looking at map stats for god's garden it's really awful for protoss lol | ||

It prevents Protoss from being aggressive with the third so Z doesn't have to make as many lings and delay tech. Protoss meta right now is focused on making Z spend lings early so they have to delay tech and P can keep up with smart zealot aggression and massing storms, then slowly winning battles and expanding. | ||
