Didn't just advance 4-0 from his group, also cleared up the mystery of how he lost to Impact in the qualifiers. It was nydus worms.

A fine day. Was impressed by how he handled and recovered from the pressure from Impact which at times seemed to be close to breaking through.

Also, Fantasy probably wishes TY had told him about the nydus worms before that last game

TY's group got harder after open bracket, unlucky.

I guess it's kind of in the middle. On the plus side he avoided Stats, herO, Trap and Solar. Will only play one toss. But definitely could have been easier as well. It's going to be a bit too interesting since that top spot is so valuable.

Well, guess we'll see. Last year he had a hard group too and rolled it. Gonna be interesting to see what form he's in.

I imagine he'll be fine, I'd be more worried if it was Rogue or Dark instead of soO (even if soO's been looking like a beast lately, the other players fare better against TY I believe). Bunny might pull a win against him since he's done it before, but nothing too worrying.

For TY, at least. Sucks for me as a Bunny/Dear fan tho

Have to admit I'm pretty nervous for today. Hope the transition from Korea went well :s

I know right, with Maru gone I think TY is one of the last Terran hopes :x

We'll, he advanced. Now to see which protoss he faces in Ro12

There were ups and downs in all his series today but that last two were really bad. I don't think I have ever seen him play as bad a tvt as the one against Bunny. But it was very late so hopefully that was part of the explanation. In 2017 he also played rather lackluster in the group stage

I think he was tired by the end. He doesn't generally adjust well to travel and he once said on stream he goes to bed early. His play was not very crisp today, at any rate. A bit lucky that hellbats walking into bases still defeats soO in 2019.

Not a great bracket now. His matches with Solar are always close and he always loses to Dark. Let's see if he can make something happen. If he pulls off a down and dirty run like in 2017 where every series is down to the wire that's fine with me tho.

I guess Solar was one of the best options there, but Dark is of course very difficult to get past. I think its really shitty that TY's in the lowest part of the bracket so he plays last. Going the distance in lategame TvZ against a rested Dark when you already played a Bo5 that day and it's way later than you're used to playing... and yes, I agree that he was already looking very tired today.

You're assuming TY will live to late game vs Dark

But we'll see, maybe he has a better day tomorrow. Or he just loses in the Ro12 and someone releases another "Welcome to ZParCraft" article.
