But yeah, looking forward to Byun's GSL return! Hoping he's doing much better, he's still a bit hot and luke-warm in team leagues. Puppy fighting! Also, hoping FXO players win tonight. Gumiho and Lucky are cool dudes, and Tree. Well Tree I don't know much of, but Brown hasn't impressed me really so either way =/ | ||

 TAiLS isn't in the game?I'm disappointed not to learn about players I haven't heard about so I know something about them going into the matches, but happy to learn that it's not just me who's clueless sometimes! | ||

The only thing more disappointing than Brown's rapid fall from glory is the fact that this match just barely managed to miss 4/20 by a few days, robbing us of various Tree jokes. That line was golden  Good job on the preview guys! | ||

ZvZ is far less coinflippy than PvP, and actually has its own proper metagame now. The reason PvP is a coinflip matchup is a series of styles in the midgame that all more or less counter each other, leading to big upsets during the tech picking stage. Meanwhile, in ZvZ, you can hold more or less anything with an FE or 14/14 expand into roaches and transition into the playstyle you want. There's a lot of build order win scenarios in PvP. There's almost none in ZvZ (excluding early pool vs 15h, and even that can be held in a good scenario). | ||
