Hmm, I don't know about that. Crank is favored over Paranoid for sure, but I think most would say that Scarlett is favored over Heart. Bly vs Grubby is in Acer's favor as well I'd say, ZvP is definitely Bly's best matchup. Nerchio has solid ZvT, but I do give the edge in this to Ryung for sure. So that puts it at 2-2, and then it's just Alicia vs MMA. Alicia's best matchup is PvT but MMA is looking great at TvP these days (aside from his recent losses to Mana and Hasuobs which were pretty bad), so this is tough to call. I think it will be a great match!
That is really some useful information:-) I simply wonder how Axiom will approach her Zerg issue in the long run. If I am not mistaken it was stated they would only hire KR Pro Gamers to fill the role of Zerg. With so many Teams disbanding (e.g. NSH) I am really looking forward for the newcomer.

It still scares the shit out of me
Maybe people just got really good at defending it because it happened so often. With the hellbat nerf there could be a resurgence as people have gotten rusty against it and Terrans are looking for something new (or old in this case) to destroy economies.

Zergs have been skipping the roach warren in ZvT with the prevalence of widow mines since Terrans will rarely choose to build hellions over mines on their reactors. Seems like a good build to have in your pocket, especially versus someone like Life or other ling-heavy styles.
Life is the only player I know who proactively builds macro hatches, sometimes 5hatch on 3 base. I don't like him but I love that kind of decision when playing ling bling muta.

Let's just say Heart is starting to really find himself after HotS. Some players have been struggled since launch to adapt, Hearts one of them, but he's nailing it with excellent results lately. Slump no longer.

Heart's always seemed like a "I'm going to make my style work" kinda guy. Hard headed but very persistent. Hopefully we get to see more games from him since his games are always... interesting.

Blue Flame Hellions (around 12) kill 21 drones before mutas come out (lair before third). Ling based defense. Scarlett is 20 supply behind after it. She gives a good effort to try and claw back into it but Heart just pushes with marine mine to victory.

WOoo thanks Nerchio. As the casters kind of just said, he called Ryung's bluff and just kind of ran him over. Ryung was trying to get away with a bit too much at once and his factory tech wasn't very efficient, switching between mines and tanks (unless he had two factories).

Anything to say about the rest of the team? It's always great to here how players are doing without seeing tournament results. (I can understand if you choose not to answer)
It's quite sad how these players have fallen so much, specifically MMA. The multitasking, decision making, and level of play dropped so much I don't ever see these players becoming relevant in their future of sc2.

Hopefully it is something they can keep doing for future seasons in the gap between WCS NA and KR, the viewership does seem good around that time.

And yet this thread has 6 pages wtf
NASL used to have good numbers and no one posting in threads, so did IPL most days. Thread sizes seem so random outside GSL.

It's actually 12 pages, you just can't see the rest because it's covered by the overlay.

PL threads can have pretty random thread sizes too. Somtimes less than 10, sometimes over 80 lol
