Before going on my computer this morning I was thinking about how this group was being played and was thinking "I'd like to see curious do well this season because he definitely deserves it"

I am happy

MC completely outclassed Losira and Gumiho. Terrible play from both of them. Gumihos famous multitask completely failing him in the last game. Losira played like Code B level. Really disappointed, thought gumiho was finally coming to be a top player.

If MC gets PVP, PVZ he will get to the finals, hes the best PvZ and PVP in the world. If Bogus or Taeja meet him I think he's done.

Hes go gotta make it past parting or life first bro. Hard task ahead of him but I think it's doable

Incredibly disappointed that losira dropped out

I shouldn't have checked the results, don't even feel up to watching his acclaimed series vs gumiho knowing how it's gonna turn out. Arrgghhhhh

So I just watched the VODs of Gumiho vs Losira and I'd like to point out that I don't think TvZ is/was as broken as people say it is. Ghosts are just massively underused in this match-up, IMO.

And holy hell that was well played by Gumiho.

Edit: Some weird things to point out in game 3 (it was so long so slight mistakes are bound to happen). Why didn't losira expand at the expansion where he had all his spines? Either that or bring all the spines to Gumiho's base really was his only choice. Damn what a crazy game.

At 36:10 it felt like Losira had that game 99 out of 100 times. Absolutely CRAZY how Gumiho managed to come back from that.

IF MC is best PvZ, then what does that make Curious?

Parting is better than MC at PvP, and Life is better than Curious at ZvP. MC will not make it to the finals. He was lucky today, that Losira and Gumiho wore each other out with that amazing series, otherwise he probably wouldn't have got out of this group.

Because they don't work against competent Broodlord pushes, which naturally excludes having 40-60 supply uselessly tied up in Corruptors when your opponent has mostly ground or suiciding your only Overseer into 15 Vikings.

The epic Gumiho/Losira game reminds me of Byun vs Ryung in loser's match of Ro32 Group E playing an epic series with a super lategame final map, but both end up dropping out of the group in the end. Tragic, really.

Also, I would be really interested to hear a Losira or Gumiho interview about that map, but instead we get Curious/MCs.

I'm so sad for losira and gumniho but Minthebosstosschul in round of8 is amazing. It would be so awesome if he could win the last wol GSL.

This reminds me of the RSL when people were whining about zerg and there were the usual zerg supporters saying Gumiho uses ghosts, he knows how to play correctly and none of the other terrans do. Of course, he got 3-0ed by Vortix who's probably one of the best BL-infestor pushes during the height of BL/infestor power. Then he got 3-1ed by Lowely. It's online so yeah, we got the lag factor... but come on, you can't extrapolate a few games unto the entire matchup.

Take for example when MVP showcased his Hellion/banshee mech at IEM, terrans used it like crazy right afterwards (like in a matter of days). So why aren't terrans just flocking to ghosts? Pros probably tested it out and found it doesn't work for them. Maybe Gumiho is like Life and people can't really emulate his style, idk, but there's probably a reason it isn't used.
