What a great series! I have to feel bad for strelok considering he's been staying up forever for this.

Gogo zenio!

And casters hoping for a cheesy finals? Seriously?? The games are more important than the casters fyi

God, zenio is so damn good at these types of macro games. Incredible how he was down to two bases at one point, but just retakes 3rd & 4th, and somehow stalls enough time to stop the terran's huuuuge pushes while also preventing a 4th or a 5th. I can't think of a single non korean zerg (other than idra) that would be capable of playing at zenio's level...

I agree.. Zenio is fucking amazing. So much patience and always knows exactly when he can pick at the terran death ball. I would have accidentally lost my entire army so many times in a lot of those situations lol.

Also, props to Strelok he proved that he is a monster this tourney. 2-0ing Idra, Checkprime, and beating a ton of other good players. I say send this man to Korea.

Strelok did well, much better than the first time around. Out of all the foreigners in this tournament he got the furthest. Props for that.

Extra props for playing in a tournament the same day as this one and staying up until morning the next day to see this one through. I'd be shocked if he didn't immediately roll over and pass out after tapping out.

I do agree with the commentators though that at some points it really felt like Strelok just had some kind of personal refusal to make more bases despite the fact that he had solid contain and plenty of resources.

I was beginning to think that it was because he is so tired and knew that more bases = longer games, and that just trying to get his push going(for better or worse!) was in his better interest. Had to be crazy difficult to be playing at 9am after being up for what was probably nearing a whole day or more, and the majority of those hours spent playing high level competitive sc2 in elimination tournament games.
