nah in PvZ you just die to proxy hatchery

The casting at this tournament is pretty terrible in comparisons to past HSC's. Sounds like someone missed Geoff/Rott/Tod and Parting/Scarlett/Patience I definitely missed PartinG/Scarlett/Patience, what was it like ?
Drunk Parting/Scarlett chemistry OP

Fair enough. Your points make sense but I really don't think it's realistic to expect P to be able to macro here. I can't see the future either but the complete failure option seems highly likely to me.

Yeah it's possible. But I dislike the fact that everyone cries before they're hurt when talking about Bridgehead. Give some time to see how it turns out.

Can we remove said points if it turns out the creative™ builds were not his own?
