It's simply a time where TvZ is the most unbalanced matchup atm.

Nice. Armani just way too classy to be stopped by pesky NA terran. Too bad he wasn't Stork :/

Man Polt's TvZ has been looking weak lately but congrats to Armani.

I noticed Polt did not build any ghosts to snipe the overseers so his mines could do actual damage. Oh well, maybe one day we'll get a Terran who can play at a decent level.

There's nothing in between for Innovation hehe

and the problem about GSL is it is just ONE tournament and you can drop out of it within one short group stage, while other tournaments (like PL) you need to play over several months.
Basing things on one tourney is knowingly not a good idea, cause you can cheese your way through several rounds and get very far. I like the proleague format more cause it takes the form over several months.
That is why I am wondering, why flash isn't on the list, being at 3rd place of "most kills"


Flash has failed at numerous tournaments. He is just a beast at preparing, thats why he is so strong in PL.

so what defines a good player?
Good micro`?
Good macro?
good allins?
good cheese?
or is it also good preparation?

on the other hand the most games he lost were just pure flash-counterbuilds If you saw the group stages comparing to he didn't prepare such builds in the group stages, what is why he fails in group stages mostly.


What makes a good player? Winning tournaments. Innovation won 1 World Finals, 1 PL, 1 Acer and 1 GSTL. Mvp won 4 GSLs and a double triple crown.

And Flash was playing Hydra/Shine. If he didn't think they were going to cheese him at all, I don't know what to tell you.

And if we go even farther back, Flash got a counter build order win against Maru (1-1-1 vs triple cc) and Maru still won.

Muta muta muta into huge midgame push for the 2 1st games.
The 3rd was Polt ahead, attacking the 4rd, polt better army and upgrade, but stilll lose his army. Then polt lost the game with 3/3 with 1/3 because reasons.

TvZ is really becoming a problem since mine nerf. The current balance test map is not dealing with the biggest current problem : mutas in TvZ. Muta regen has to be looked at seriously.

WP Armani, congrats! Always nice to see new faces at HSC .
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.
