Clown build? I mean, CC first is the risky part. But nothing clownish about the follow-up. Mass Goliath VS Zerg is a maths problem: if you have enough, you win, if you don't, you lose. With CC first terran normally has enough - JD only caught up by being super greedy himself and guessing that it would be double armory.

CC first is just Flash being Flash agree. I'm talking about the immediate 2/2 while getting a 3rd, before adding extra factories to produce (if needed). Flash was pretty much playing that as if he was playing a ZC NR15 game.

The 2/2 over additional factories made no sense, unless Flash convinced himself the fake goliath pushout made JD invest into creep colonies at both expos.

Fake push out into ling/overlord hunting (without success), into 3rd + 2/2. That's what I call clowning.

Imo the early 2/2 upgrade makes a lot of sense since once terran hit that upgrade it is pretty much over for zerg. I believe Flash did not expect hydra since he did not have scan and did not scout with speed vulture or anything. He was pretty much in the dark and got caught off guard.

Royal is in the shape of his life and Light is really not though. I was really expecting Royal to advance. Felt he had so much momentum recently.

Flash was talking about Snow being a one trick pony that uses his amazing reaver micro to compensate for fairly mediocre macro and optimizing. I wonder how he will want to approach that matchup, that will be fascinating.

I would imagine that he might want to play very solid and let his superior macro do the heavy lifting but with Flash it’s hard to say. He always seems one step ahead of everyone else.

Cmon snow. Beat him. Finally a good PvT for Snow. Super excited.

What a bracket. It’s just balanced pretty well so every group should be competitive. Soma hero should be a good knife fight. Leta tulbo should be great jinjin content. jd light will be epic top tier tvz. Then the ideal PvT match, with lots of time for snow to practice.

Hopefully JD wins so we get a good ro4. Bit worried about the top half of the bracket. Easy Zerg to final seems the play. I don’t think Protoss can beat Zerg in a finals series without map help.

I imagine Flash might use some blind wraith openings in the series.
Or something to punish range cuts early.

It was really close and generally it wasnt RoyaL's day. But well, I guess he feels better now after winning Escore tournament today.
Light is recently such unknown for me, one day he completely demolishes everyone and other day feels completely out. Possibily something happening in his life that is taking him off. Anyways his aura is still present and he is still that extremely strong player to count with (and avoid), I recall multiple times at RO16 ceremony where nobody dared to pick him up and play him (ending as last in last group), well... even JD rather picked up FlaSh over him.
never too old for starcraft :)

Leta showing us that the true way to play TvT (and, perhaps, all of Starcraft) is to cram as many wraiths into a clowncar as you can, then accelerate towards ,our opponent like the psychopath you evidently are.

I was also quite disappointed in the bracket.

Soma vs. Hero zvz feels like such a waste.

Leta vs. Tulbo feels like such a waste

JD vs. Light feels like it should be ro4

Flash vs. snow as well.

This is what I was hoping for:

Soma vs. Light

Hero vs. Flash

JD vs tulbo

Leta vs. Snow (wraiths vs reavers)

My predictions:

Soma
Leta
JD
Flash

Soma vs JD in the finals!
nah

Hero flash would be a stomp. Same for leta snow. Like this it's at least less predictable.

I kinda wanna see Leta vs Soma and JD vs Flash into either TvZ finals so we both finalists are already primed for the match up, get a match to study and can go full on mind games. But I would also love to see Snow finally get a gold as well, especially if that's beating both Flash and JD.
