I still feel something is wrong when big tournaments don't make significantly more than top streaming players.


Remember that's only the Englisch stream. Carmac said there are 4 different streams for the event.

Was thinking the same haha, i think anybody could keep their minerals and gas low on 1 base. It's when he's got all his drones out and still macroing like a god that it's impressive.


Not in ZvZ when you have to constantly watch everywhere for Baneling detonations It's kinda hard to hit the perfect timings


I played Zerg until a high masters level. It's really not that difficult to macro on 1 and 2 base. :/

Don't get me wrong, Ret is a macro beast. I agree with this sentiment entirely. But on 1 base it's not difficult. Where's when he's on 4,5,6 bases it is.

Uh... No.


He out microed him time and time again. He kept taking less damage from those banelings. Clearly he outplayed Ret. :-|


Hmm, I'd say game 2 was even at best (for Violet). Then again in Game 1 Ret outmicroed Violet hard and Violet still won. Building up small advantages matters a lot in ZvZ, but you still can lose just by timing one decision wrong.

Pretty sure ling/bling micro isn't this intense at Masters level. Anyways, as far as I've seen having perfect injects is really rare in pro level ZvZ for that exact reason.

(just like what we've seen right now )

The english stream has to be the most popular so still not to good.

If the EG team stream all at once they make more from ads than IEM.

That's not EXACTLY how you judge ZvZ. Outplaying is deflecting or feigning aggression while getting ahead in Drones. Ret played Game 2 as perfectly as he did Game 1, except he deflected the timing push while being way ahead in drones.

The onus is on Violet to make something happen with the units, since he was always behind in drones. I'd say Ret played far superior to Violet game 2.


Ya once again I was just joking around. Violet made a great decision and outplayed Ret in game 1, yet everyone jumped to Ret's defense saying that he outplayed Violet while losing... so I figured I would do the same in the opposite position, but then unsurprisingly everyone keeps defending Ret.

The whole "can i hide banelings and run them into a mineral line unnoticed" part of ZvZ is something I hope players get good enough to just shut down in the future.
