Sadly, I did not manage to qualify for this. 
But holy cow that's a sick lineup.
|
Even though a lot of the gold does end up in Axiom pockets (mostly Impact, but the other fellows spark up as well), it's nice to see the likes of Armani and SuperNova succeeding in breaking through, and Journey's been tearing it up for the entirety of Olimoleague.
And I'm also intrigued at the prospects of forumers trying their luck/skill against established pros and B-teamers. It's only a matter of time before one of us gets to the Ro4.

TBH I'm glad Axiom players have been doing well in OlimoLeague. They are all well rounded players that can do well in tournaments, but sometimes fall short in qualifiers that make them jump through long winded brackets and etc etc, and people unfortunately only focus on that. The other people you've listed also somewhat experience those things, and I'm glad they're regulars of this tourney.

And then the forumers will finally reach Nathanias level

Will every match be casted or are they all being played at the same time?
edit: Seems that the ro8 is at least being played at the same time sadly enough

Impact hasn't learned a thing from WoL. If you're gonna play double upgrades (melee) into infestors and a hive rush, you should probably consider spines against a 3base colossus timing. MASS spines.

@TL Strategy team - is there any proof that 2base spire ZvT is actually a decent tactic? Everytime I see it, it results either in a somewhat even midgame or a solid disadvantage for Zerg into straight loss.

This is quite an interesting series, with a lot of variation by Fantasy.

dunno if top foreigners are proof to you but in scarlett vs bunny she used 2base spire to get a decent amount of worker kills and then just followed it up with fast baneling speed + mass banelings to trade armies while establishing her economy behind it, then she just won straight up with the lead she established

10 min 5 base ZvP, good.
but he went ultras so the game's even

I remember that 1 time I went hydra/ling into ultras instead of just muta switching.
never again
|
This game has been ridiculously back and forth.
|
the game was over a long time ago but cool game I guess
|
WHAT THE FUCK TRUE
that was way closer than it should have been
|
TRUE always looks like he's trolling to some extent.
|
Hoping for a sick ace-match to round it off.
|
I wonder if TRUE has ever made his first hatch in his natural without trying to proxy it first
