Maybe he just does better in live settings. | ||

Also, apparently there was a huge spike in lag the moment of that final battle, which is why there were no force fields, according to the Chinese caster. Repeated what you said two minutes ago btw. | ||

I don't think whether something is a Hard Counter or not can depend on scouting. If it depends on scouting, isn't it not a Hard Counter? O.o | ||

O.o Well, if you three-hatch before pool on Akilon Wastes and then scout proxy gateways, i guess, it's hard counter still :Dp | ||
