Love the map and all of the new mechanics that it makes people consider, but I think there's definite imbalance, and at least right now, it's a forced style that I don't think many people want to play. People still too comfortable with Circuit Breaker type maps. Reminds me of Troy in a way. Troy was a weird ass map that always resulted in crazy games. BRING BACK FIGHTING SPIRIT !!!   | ||

Especially the one game that went to devourers in the Ro24 and Larva fighting for his life in the Ro16. Also enjoyed the carrier cliff micro.

Sad Brain didn't make it because almost all of his games were incredible. I hoped he'd get first or last so I could see more ZvZ, but I wasn't disappointed at all to see more high IQ Brain games. | ||

I am now unsure if Brain is just at the same average level of PvZ as Snow and Rain, or if Action just has the best PvZ out of the current zergs. In the interview, Action said they played a lot too, but I still don't think that takes away the strong ways in which he won his games. Action was THE zerg after Effort, before wristsaegi took him. 2019 Aprill he was smashing everyone. Another great player who seems to be succumbing to health issues ☹️ | ||

It shows that although Brain looked brilliant in some ways, he still lacks the polish to be a top player. He's still got some glaring weaknesses that dynamically change his ability to maintain the lead and close out games. A little more work on becoming more well-rounded by playing against more aggressive Zergs will go a long way for him, imo. | ||

Tasteless and Artosis know a lot about the game. I’ve been playing and watching for ages and I still learn new stuff when I listen to their casts... the 1% of the time they can pay attention to what’s happening. The other 99% of the time they’re off on their own world. I prefer the Korean casters, and I don’t speak Korean. They can be fun and silly, but they get hyped at important moments when Tastosis are still joking about an SCV that walked in a funny way 10 minutes ago. Good casters use downtime to fill you in on stuff that’s not so obvious: • So-and-so is losing — how are they trying to turn the tables? What’s in their mind? (Expand/harass/timing attack/wait for upgrade) • That move that worked so badly, what was so-and-so thinking? Why did it seem worth a try? • So-and-so hasn’t scouted the thing yet. What are they assuming is going on? What are they hedging against? • That play only worked because so-and-so did that thing amazingly. If it had been slightly different, we’d be looking at XYZ right now. You know, we can all see the game unfolding. I enjoy a good PLAAAYGUUU moment as much as the next guy, but when you’re not caught up in a battle, you can spend that downtime more profitably than just chilling and talking about nothing. | ||

He's not flashy but he is so goddamn solid. I always think of Soulkey or Zero before him, but while those players have more talent, Action seems more consistent. I think SK and Zero are better vT, but Action is slightly more reliable vP. | ||
