His problem was larvas, not enough hatch/inject i guess.

gosh it must be intimidating to sit there and play with a cameraman on the other side of the glass just staring at you

Naa, it will probably be Polt vs Forgg and the winner of that faces the winner of Hydra vs someone in the semis, and snute goes to the finals to get those sweet wcs points. cmon Snute is top 4 this tournament, reaching the final wouldn't be much bracket luck for him
Oops that wasn't very clear. I just remembered mid sentence that Snute wanted Polt in the next round. I was sarcastically implying that it would suck for whoever went first in the other groups that not Polt, that would have to face Polt in the round of 8, or for Polt himself if its him vs ForGG.
About Snute i think he showed to be in good form so is ahead of Bunny as our foreign hope. I actualy favor him against Polt slightly.

I'm more amazed that Team Liquid is allowing him to represent the team in his current form. I understand his wrists are poor but shouldn't they at least release a press release or something?

we've seen over and over that the ability to beat Code S players outside of Korea doesn't translate to the ability to make a strong run in GSL.
2012 Naniwa and 2015 MMA are the only exceptions so far

Liquid is a family. They don't let someone go until they ask for it.
