It's the beginning of the day and half of the crowd forgot DST. It's been good otherwise.

Naniwa is also pretty good in PvP. Though it's been a while. I'm really happy that HoTS brings some more stability to the matchup.

Who is Hyvaa? Any story behind the Daisy or Crank no shows? Was Flash vs. Naniwa extended series the best series ever or was Leenock vs. Oz??? lol
Hyvaa is a KeSPA player on STX, and most known for taking out Rain 4-1 in the MVP invitational. However Rain 2-0 him in this MLG yesterday.
Crank forfeited his match presumably to injuries and TB tweeted about it apologizing on his behalf. Daisy's forfeit is still unknown?
Flash vs Naniwa was pretty average with a lot of cheese and the only highlight game being game 5. Leenock vs Oz was pure ownage back and forth the whole way through.
Thanks. I watched game 1 of Leenock and Oz and it was kind of insane.
Flash and Naniwa seemed all-inish for the first 3 games, but I figured something crazy happened in the extended series. Thanks again.

After dismantling HerO and PartinG recently, I wouldn't be. Rain just understands pvp better than anyone else. Gogo Nani.
Indeed, Rain shouldn't have any trouble here. Naniwa was losing PvPs to HerO back when HerO was horrible at PvP and Rain doesn't actually lose the matchup. Hoping for Nani though!
still the only matchup naniwa has any chance vs these opponents, but let's hope justice gets served and he gets eliminated

Yeah, I know you have to play more games if you drop to the losers bracket (one more for Taeja in this case) but it's just weird that you get more chances if you lose early than if you make it far before losing for the first time.

The games I've seen of Rain have gone to 2/3 or more bases.
He hasn't figured out PvP in its entirety from what I've seen, but has figured out the lategame better than anybody I've watched thus far
