Not necessarily of course, and if Revival wins it's no proof to the contrary either. However I admit it would be cool to see that.

Revival should just stop getting ahead at the beginning though, he likes to overcommit in the lategame then.

Hero is the only protoss who could have won that game after a certain point.. insane control.

A better Protoss would have had HT out and effortlessly crushed Revival's eternal midgame play.

People saying revival threw that and took bad engagements are so off base. He flanked and set up the engagements really well but Hero's forcefields kept turning the engagements in his favor. Nothing zerg can do about that.

Revival not looking like a Code S champion.

The world is shocked by this revelation

Revival beat 5 foreigners to make the ro4, then beat Alive who I personally don't think is very good, now he's playing Hero.

Except there will still only be 3 toss total in the 16 person grand finals. Less Balanced!

That was a combo of both Revival throwing away a game and Hero being absolutely amazing at cost efficient engagements.

HerO is a beast, never seen someone protecting their colossy like that.

sentry+colossy to forcefield everything off, and stalkers on the side on another hotkey to deal with the corruptors...

AMAZING

Yeah, zergs should never ever play a style that allows HerO to play stalker/colossus. He's ridiculous with that composition.

yeah seems like it.

Such a common pattern for Revival, takes a dominant early game lead then throws it away. I remember one game in Proleague where he successfully scouted and mauled an immortal-sentry all-in on this map, had like 200-100 supply then just threw the game away with bad engagements and bad timing.

He played well, but to be fair that was revival's game to lose.

he didnt just play well.. he played superb. if you dont play protoss on a masters level or above you cant understand how difficult this is to pull off. stuck with no AOE in an open map like Planet S and your only AOE tech already countered in the field with 9 corruptors vs your 0 colossi. Revival played fine; he thought (and rightly so) that he could have ended the game then and there - thats why he didnt go in tier3 tech, hes not dumb. but as we all saw.. Hero too good

I don't get though, why would you get corruptors after you have vipers availeble. More cost effective in their role, more supply effective and versatile.
