TLO and Nerchio the only true patchzergs to survive this patch.

Have to say, the IEM events this year are pretty good. Didn't got to see much of Singapore because of the timezone, but Cologne and now Katowice are are great to watch :3

hard to believe though that a change to late-game infested terrans would make this big a difference.

I feel starcraft is a very snowbally game and the patch has definetely an impact. We had 10 zerg players in round of 24. in round of 12 there are only 2 left. When did something like this happen in the last 10 month?

i was often wondering in engagements, what if it's would still have upgrades. If its an imbalance, i think you cant tell yet, but it definetely impacts the games


But are there any Zergs you think that actually got upset? Other than Kas over Vortix and TLO over Snute (which cancels out), I don't think the representation is too surprising. Take for example the two Korean Zergs, I'd place all the other Koreans before them w/o hesitation.

Agreed. All the Zergs in this tournament are bad except for Nerchio, and he hasn't been in top form lately.

Long time passing...
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

They are all switching race, because Life got Zerg nerfed into oblivion and it has now become unplayable for non-GSL champions

Very underwhelming line-up, tbh. Who were the Korean invites? Sorry I caught this tournament late today.

I'd say Dream and Parting are the strongest of the bunch, followed by Mana. Granted I did not watch most of the games today! Just going by their recent performances.

Vortix and Golden are the two you really expect to advance and they were in a deathly group. First and PartinG can't really be surprises except in the context of Vor G knokcing first out.

This is the first time for many months, when I looked at a tournament and picked out the good players, that I did not consider their race before choosing whether they would advance or not. I picked all of the players I felt were just better players (e.g., yoda, TLO, Parting, nercio, grubby, kas, socke,...) and was actually pretty much spot on with who advanced. Compare that to the last few months where I would pick the zergs and would mostly be correct. I'm excited about starcraft again now that it feels way more balanced (yes, I know only 2 zergs advanced, but out of the whole pool I would have only expected 2-3 to advance anyway).
