I hate seeing PvZ's like Hogil vs Snow. I don't believe Hogil is particularly skilled at this level, he just abuses cracklings to the max and the 4 base sunk/spore/lurker turtle strat. At one point i couldn't believe how fast they took a nex down even with an army just reaching to attack them and a reaver killing loads of them. Snow admittedly didn't play amazing but Hogil was literally just throwing a couple of groups of lings here and there at expos... the odd swarm came down making it even more difficult but mainly just lings. Good to see Snow eventually win but i was worried.

Zero vs Soulkey, entertaining game this was but still you know, ZvZ and not lategame like we hoped.

Kal Vs Roro, ridiculous game i thought Roro should have had a better response to be honest. But intelligent proxy position by Kal and the follow up was too hard to defend despite good ling macro. Shows that Kal can change his PvZ gameplans up which is definitely needed from him.

Ssak Vs Calm. To me it seemed like Calm threw this game away by moving 12 lurkers and lings into 3 stimmed bunkers plus extra rines. Nothing more to say about it, i don't think it really shows much ability on Ssak's part, some people are saying he played impressively but this wasn't much of a test. Calm just put up a 3rd base so why he decided he needed to make such an aggressive move i have no clue. For someone nicknamed the brain zerg that was not smart at all, even i could tell it was nowhere near enough to break that much. A smarter thing would prehaps be drops into the main, move ovies there early along the top flank then slow or fast drop there, you know where there is ZERO bunkers and no tank tech. Or simply pull back and macro... imagine the whole 24 lurkers hitting Sssak's push instead of just half that. After this it was over anyway, Calm really needs to do better if he wants to beat Fantasy.

Yikes...don't get too emotionally attached to the outcomes of things not under your control!

In any case I fully expect KT to climb a lot of places in the standings with two rounds of WL in a row...

Yeah, I shouldn't, but what can I say, I have to serve my duty as a SKT fan. ㅠㅠ

KTFlash is so gonna tear it up in WL. I wouldn't be surprised if Flash racked up more than 40 wins by himself ~__~
