More like overcommiting to a blink. The highground blink was so bad, becuase the instant Blinding Cloud. If he would have known about the Vipers he would have had a better fight there, but because he didn't he totally fell apart there.

Come on, prove me that I'm wrong, since even Flash won more in sc2 than Fantasy.

LOL at people praising Hydra. Both players are playing horrible. I really wonder what's wrong with Zest.

What's wrong with him is it isn't patch 2.0.12 and early 2014 (when Protoss was OP and everything was PvP) anymore.

And Hydra is definitely not playing horrible. He's playing well. He's not Life, but he's playing well.

What accomplishments does he have in SC2? This praising of BW players just because they were BW players... meh. Flash at least is on the top from time to time.
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

It does kind of feel like Viper's abduct energy is way too low. When protoss sole ability to due damage is killed so easily I think its a bit unfair.

That doesn't even make sense, ROFL. I have to watch that I guess.

Well, you did see FanTa vs Rain, right? FanTa's level of play in the first two games was clearly superior to a mediocre player.

The funniest part about this is that the last balance change was back in July, when Rain and Zest were still on top of the world and very real tournament contenders for a while. They've gradually worsened over time, while Fantasy/Hydra improved over time. Back in 2014, I would also be way more surprised if Dark beat Taeja, but now Dark plays way better in general.

I don't think anyone can dislike hydra when they know that he is playing a RTS game while practically being half blind
