This tournament really highlights how volatile a Bo1 can be even at this level. Probably aided by that the stake is not as high as ASL so the better players tend to be more careless. Every week I see huge upsets everywhere.
Just this week we have Mong > Light, then Mong > Snow, and Free > Larva, then Free > Soma
Last week: Bale > Snow, Absolute > Best, Zelot > Royal, Motive > Larva, Scan > Soma (what???)
Scan also had a great run beating Hero and Light back to back in W3.
Would be great content if somebody can cast all those upset games only. It's refreshing to see smaller players taking down bigger ones.

Rush put down a bunker on Hm's nat just to mind game. Korean chat goes "ASL PTSD" lmao

Rush has no idea about the 4th (not so hidden?) base. It allowed Hm to get a truckload of lurkers. Wave after wave Rush reduced to one base

Rush is able to break out Plague on mnm but still takes down Hm's nat. Drone drill destroys mnm when Rush went to main base. Eraser on 4th Hm continuing to pour units to Rush's main.
GG
Hm's revenge game

jab and counterjab game 1 effOrt vs Snow
Snow attacked and just failed to destroy effOrt's 5th. EffOrt tried to destroy Snow's 4th but also failed.
4th base hatch morphed to lair to gain 600 health
