I'd like to see Leta and Royal but obviously Light is the favorite to advance. I think Light/Royal get through. Barracks has a shot of course. And Leta's TvT back in the day was nothing to sneeze at... Light > Royal = Barracks > Leta going into it. | ||

Barracks let Leta kill dozens of free supply with Leta's wraiths. No serious protection, defense, goliaths, valks, against the wraiths. Just tank after tank getting picked off for free. | ||

He definitely did not. lol. Although Light found out too late to really do anything imo and the game was decided in about 60 seconds afterwards, whereas Barracks let himself gradually get whittled down for 5+ minutes x.x | ||

I can't read Korean, but chatgpt translated (again I cannot confirm this) the image on this page where it appears to say that the Ro.8 is Best of 5 (first to 3 wins). The notice was posted on March 8 and I'm not sure if there is an updated/more current source. https://www.sooplive.com/station/afstar1/post/189091703 | ||

I actually prefer Bo7. Bo5 sometimes feels too quick. In recent seasons we've had many times the score goes 3-1 for one guy then the other makes a comeback | ||

If anything they have to tinker with the Ro16 somehow to make the days shorter. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

But I would also love to see Snow finally get a gold as well, especially if that's beating both Flash and JD. The issue with Snow finally getting a gold is that he might actually be able to beat Flash and Light/JD which should make him hands down the most deserving for the title but he will lose vs Soma again | ||

Anyway, i am shocked how good this Ro16 TvT fest was. Never expected TvT to deliver to such a level. Can recommend all games except where Barracks played. I always used to vote TvT "if you have time", just because it is TvT, but with this group, it changed. Funny how Wraith/Valk composition is the natural standard in TvT these days. It feels like i've seen more wraith battles than vulture battles, and that means something. | ||
