She race picks but against mOOnGLaDe she chose to ZvZ both times unless that changed. She may be full time zerg now since they have her listed as Z on stream. before they had her as random in the last round and last season to signify her race picking

I'm not too familiar with the process. I kind of wish he would stop playing in the WCS for a bit then to let a player who actually has a chance to advance past the ro32 into the tournament. He is essentially a wasted spot.

It's called the "Artist strategy".

Artist forfeited at least two MLG Arenas in a row, but always got a seed into the WB Round 5 of the next Championship then didn't show up to the MLGs, and qualified for the arenas again.
