It seems like the first two matches are always on HBR, and then what? Is there some kind of veto? | ||

If they (most likely) meet again in decider match (probably on Sylphid since JYJ would ban Retro and Stork would ban Vermeer) then it's pretty much 50/50. | ||

Supply in Carriers vs Terran can be deceptive. Mini once beat Royal with Carriers when he was down 100 supplies. | ||

Im wondering why you would wear one when u are alone in a booth in a high stake SCBW tournament. Im totally for wearing masks when it is useful. I just dont think when u are alone in a booth it makes a whole lot of sense? or do you sit at home alone in your room in front of your PC using a mask? I never did o.O | ||

They wear masks all the time even before covid. Could also be he's feeling sick himself and don't want to spread. It's basic etiquette in Korean society. Try to open your mind a little bit instead of questioning his IQ. Also he just beat Stork comfortably. | ||

Also the abstract's main results says "Adherence with interventions was low in many studies", which makes it harder to draw conclusions anyway. As for the games, I'm glad we got to see Stork's signature carriers, even if it was predictable and led to him getting steamrolled by Light. Hope this doesn't discourage him into another retirement. LB looking good too, even with my ignorance toward games outside of ASL. With the number of Zs and Ts in Ro16, I hope we get a few late game ZvTs and TvTs with Battlecruisers involved, those are always fun. | ||

Only Best, Snow, Bisu and Mini are ro16 quality for ASL atm. The rest of the Protoss cohort are decidedly average. | ||

Always these 4 guys who are supposed to qualify for Ro16: Bisu Best Snow Mini (Rain doesn't really count). Plus Shuttle with a 50/50 chance. Stork and Free are 50/50 too if they got in Ro24. The rest are just lucky to be in Ro24. Problem is, Protoss is the most fragile race at this level, so even the big 4 slip sometimes in a Bo1. Bisu, Best, Snow and Mini all got knocked out of Ro24 once or twice in recent seasons. You don't see that in the other races. The only tier 1 upsets in Ro24 for Zerg and Terran are Soma this season, and... you have to go back to Season 7 to find the next one which was Light who wasn't even considered strong back then (actually he might be tier 2 back then so that wasn't even an upset). Let that fact sink in. | ||

Ruin and Stork might have made it out in different circumstances. Maybe Ruin can come back a bit calmer with more experience... | ||

Let that fact sink in. Actually more like tier 3 or 4 back then. On the first half of the Afrerca era Light looked pretty bad. I remember Light playing in ro24 in ASL 4 and he had the most pathetic game you can imagine. He started getting better results from ASL 8 onwards. | ||

Can't you be honorable, keep up your word and stay retired? I've been always rooting for you, but you have to know when to quit! Nah, he mixed things up going 3 base carrier instead of 2 base carrier in the final game, on a map less suited to carriers...which JYJ probably maybe sort of didn't expect! How unpredictable! /s Protoss is more vulnerable at the highest level, but this was just hubris or lack of confidence on Stork's part. Watching Light's cold, calculated dismantling of Stork's game plan was fun though. | ||

He was still 1-1 vs JYJ though, it's just the 1W fell on the match that doesn't really matter. In other words, he didn't lose twice to JYJ. That's why BO1 sucks. | ||

In Ultimate battle's you sometimes have 1 player lose the first 3 and then make a huge comeback to still win 5-4 or 6-3. Due to the skill levels in starcraft being so close at the top a game can often times go either way. It is not that Stork played bad. It is that JyJ played better that one game. People here tend to overexaggerate so much and immediately call losing "terrible play" when its just one player being able to stack advantages that can make it look like whatever the other is doing is failing. That's how a snowball works. | ||

Stork was competing with JYJ for the remaining spot. They played twice and tied 1-1, but JYJ won the match that decides who goes on. This exact situation happened last season in the group of Queen/Royal/Sharp. Sharp beat Royal in game 2, only to lose to Queen in the winner match (while Royal beat the tier 4 player in the loser match). Sharp then lost to Royal in the decider match. That's the problem with double elimination BO1 format:. the tier 2 and 3 players compete for one spot. They tie 1-1 between themselves. In the other matches, one loses to the tier 1 player and one wins the tier 4 player, and effectively the player who beats the tier 4 player gets to advance. Which feels kinda stupid because they are not presented with the same chance. It would feel like "two chances" had the following happened: Stork lost to JYJ in game 2, then beat Sascri in loser match, then lost to JYJ again in the decider match. That way Stork effectively lost a BO3 to JYJ (although it's still not a real BO3). A "Best of x" series means against the same opponent. If you play 23 BO1 against 23 opponents, it doesn't become BO23 or something. If I play 2 games, 1 against you and 1 against Flash, you can't say I have 2 chances lmao. | ||
