FXO 5-4 ST
I don't see any underestimation going on here. These are two elite teams, and both have a number of players who are capable of taking 3+ games off of anybody.
Wow. Tear beat Life and Bomber. And now Parting's been hard countered by Gumiho. Much as I hate to admit, Gumiho/Leenock will probably beat Squirtle/Curious.
That mass Ghost no viking strat might not work on other maps with less wide open spaces though. I've only seen him use it on Entombed (vs Life) and Whirlwind (vs Curious just now) and both maps have similar lay outs. Has he done it on other maps too?
Squirtle played well the whole series, but Leenock was making weird decisions that game and could have won it if he just played standard. Congrats to ST though, and Squirtle seems to be back in form at least.

yeah he left StarTale and lives in Australia now (I believe he's on Xeria gaming or something like that). Some of their roster posts are outdated because I think they are just copying and pasting from their old threads
