Don't know why but this made me laugh. Love me some dry humour.

Does he just discuss strats and bitch at them if they slack off or something? Organize practice sessions between team members? | ||

Kyrix vs. TheWind: + Show Spoiler + First match: Let's feel each other out, get late speed and then at 22 food, build banelings. Second match: TheWind all-in's, loljk turn those drones around, build banelings. Third match: HATCH FIRST! Maybe gonna see roach infestor? Both players go macro mode, interesting with a few Zergling pokes, and then build banelings. My ZvZ's are never that stupid. Fast roaches to beat banelings are much more stable and forgiving, I don't know why those players (neither of which had very good control) didn't go roaches :/ What do you mean fast roaches? Go straight to roach is bad on most maps. | ||

I guess the one advantage he had was he knew he would play against T regardless of who won, but it's still an impressive feat to come out of that up/down group. | ||

MC said that when he picked TheWind to be in his GSL May group. And I think I've read somewhere that TheWind said he'd retire if he fell out of code S. | ||

But it was visible and obvious that he was tilting hard after the first loss (game 1 v Violet) and completely lost tempo. I hope (wish) Kyrix takes his games more seriously. I like his play alot (when he's doing well) but I get the impression that he doesn't have too big of an ambition. It's like he simply plays every matches with "whatever" mindset. Too bad because I think he's got a huge potential. Anyhow, today's ZvZs were worse than the average PvP except maybe Violet's nice deception strat in game 1. Fast and furious, sure, but verrrrrrrry messy and full of mistakes from the players. I agree it was like night and day compared to when he beat Julyzerg and some other Zs in the past. Kyrix really seemed off today. He obviously isn`t the greatest, but he usually doesn`t make that many micro mistakes. | ||
