probably, i think anything longer than a bo7 in one session is excessive if you want the highest level play, stamina is a skill but it shouldn't be a primary one

Yes, adding on bunkers and pre-pulling scvs=Not prepared at all. Also killing Proxy pylons.
i kinda agree about the bunker staggering comment, thick ramps like that you cant just put 3 bunkers in a line... best to put 1 at top of ramp and 2 further back etc... it becomes insanely hard to forcefield them off.
fun series everyone needs to give major props/love to TB and crew for putting this on. Huge pot for these players.
This was an extremely important series as I am working to build Demu into the modern SC2 champion he can be. Taking losses and learning from them to become stronger/better is a part of that.

You missed the first 5 games, they were very good, 3 sick macro games.

The first few games were pretty long games (great storms), but then it devolved into a lot of timings and busts. Great run by Demuslim near the end though, bringing it to an ace match after dropping the first 3 sets.
Maybe a natural progression of a series, Bling had upper hand in longer games, DeMuslim starts 111ing or early pressure with maruader + medivac, Bling then counters that with 5 gate
Thanks to hosts, casters, players, Incontrol, Karen and Blizzard.
