Looking forward to see if
free can continue his strong PvT play
He sure got some practice at it the other night. Conversely I'm sure Mong had a strong look at those games. Edit: If anyone's wondering how on earth Last got here I have that covered
But these games are predictable, Free and Mind. Last doesn't deserve to be in RO8

I wonder if last has a chance in hell. While we're at it, does mong have a chance in hell?
i can't wait to devour these games like a fat catholic school girl devouring cookies
Is anyone going to restream? Afreeca is unwatchable Also, only 2 games tonight? since its single-elimination?
Are you sure it's single-elimination?

I'm surprised by the polls considering how bad Mind's TvT is while being Last's best mu. And Mong is super dangerous too obviously. Anyway go Mind, go Free!

Single Elimination means if you lose once in the bracket stage, you're out. Double Elimination means if you lose once, you drop to a lower bracket, and if you lose there, you're out.

A fan of free apparently brought a lunch for him, how nice Dropship /w vults spotted. One vulture does manage to sneak into main Two more sneaks in through backdoor

You shalt not pass, vults. Free with impressive dragoon micros
Two armies collide in front of Mong's 11 clock expansion! Despite bad engagement free comes slightly ahead, but gets cleaned up.
Dragoons getting bopped by high-ground RNG, barely enough to thin the numbers as pure zealot dragoon slams into Mong's 3rd-base defense force.
trading armies wayyy better for free

United States 13143 Posts
so is free planning on getting some sort of stargate tech?
free throwing shuttle with 2 HT Terran defensive line also established.... Throws another shuttle
Mong hanging back and letting free come to him, throwing vultures in where appropriate. Big engagementdelayed at top left central. Weak storm at Mong's nat.

i don't understand why free doesn't want to make arbiters.
Neck and neck. Goliaths are getting mixed in now.

haha can free even get at those two tanks? Edit: Guess so
Free still on 4 mining bases to Mind's 2. Free just has to curb Mong's aggression and build up those carriers.
Carrier tech scouted with dropships, that epic 3'o clock free Nexus location :D
Free's storms suddenly got a lot more efficient. That's a lot of dmatrix! Tanky goliaths!
STORM ON CARRIER WHAT IS MICRO
hahahahahahaha Mong having separate tank ball and goliath ball, which is cleaned up separately.
Also those two dropships living forever

Conceding the high ground near Free's 3 with carriers unable to do anything and even losing a few rallied cheaply Free plz

Reavers in production! Mong moving his raxes up. Reaver on the way. Mong's natural is being taken well before free's. Mong's going to tap out any time now. First tank brought to 1 hit.
free expanding. Mong trying to transition to mech!

You just get tanks apparently.
Two reaver followup. Mismicro from free costs a scarab, which gives the stimmed marines enough free damage on the reaver to chase it off. Maybe something more novel is in order. Three new gates warped in at home.
Free forgetting how to build scarabs? What!?
free should scout recall like he did to fantasy

Hope free is good enough to overcome the map disadvantage.

Well, If Last beats Mind I don't suppose I can be angry at him for cheesing Larva any more. BUT I WANT TO BE ANGRY SO GO MIND.
That fell apart fast after Mind was totally out of position for Last's push across the bottom. Pure tank/goliath seems an odd choice when coming back from an economic disadvantage

If Last actually gets through to the semis he'd have somewhat of a chance against Mong in another TvT. Last in the final - who saw that coming?

if mind controls his valks better he could pretty much shut down all of last's air attempts
last pretty much has mind contained on three bases doesn't matter, snow will stop him in the finals

"I think last would lose because he cheeses" isn't a valid reason And I myself voted last to win
I personally really wanted Last and Mong to win as they're two of my personal favorites, I just didn't think it would happen if Free and Mind showed up, and they really didn't. Free especially really threw that away. No matter how flashy he was in each game, I can't abide those suicide blimps in game 1. Last is the single strongest TvT player remaining by the Ro8 so it's not really a surprise that he won, but Mind had a good record on him and more experience in televised series, which Last's cheesy Ro16 seemed to imply was a factor.
Man, I remember when Last was hot shit. At least he's bringing it all together now.
In the fomos interview Last said he is very confident in his TvT with mong, says TvT is his favorite matchup and likens it to weiqi(go)

It's highly likely Mind and Last will meet again in the 41 Starleague games tomorrow. Last vs hero and Tyson vs Mind.
