Strelok really favours that proxy Factory opening.
Anyone watching his NASL games and some of the Euro cups cast by imbalanced.tv would so easily blind counter that. I thought Gatored was going to do it with blocking the landing, but then he moved away his Stalker just as it was starting to float in.
I guess in an incredibly roundabout way, my picks for the top two in the group might advance. Just not in the fashion I had expected, very much far from it.

Well, storms can be dodged, so the attacker needs to place them well to maximise their effectiveness. Fungals on the other hand are the worst - you drop the first and then just rinse and repeat.

I'm Zerg and even I don't most of the time unless they're REALLY strategic fungals. EMPs just never seem to be strategic at all, just press and go. Insane range, and AOE. Storm is impressive because it's not instant damage, and it doesn't root.

His PvZ is almost definitely strong enough to take down DRG. The big question is whether his PvT is strong enough for Top. That's a tough match to call.

Maybe but it really comes down to MaNa. Oh yeah, Mana is playing.. Well TOP still has pretty solid TvP.
Yea, true Top is a great terran but MaNa specialise in PvT so I think its gonna be close but lets see I dont think DRG can take this tournament with all these protoss and his abit shaky ZvP

I'm just responding to the guy saying it wasn't all-in.

Even if Gatored loses this, he can always say "Strelok too good, hope I get a code s Korean next".

But it's still exactly the same skillset that is required to cast them.And fungal is by far the easiest. There is nothing strategic about fungaling units. you hit them once and then just repeatedly fungal them until they die, derp.
