Gratz Drogo. Btw where are these people telling PvZ is ultra zerg favored, didn't seem to me when Drogo composition was destroying TLO's one or looking at the scores :x.
I'm glad viOlet/Hydra didn't make it so people can see that 2 mid tier koreans are less likely to win than one of the 30 foreigners.

That was at the beginning of LOTV because of bad statistic from untrustworthy sites with bad record.
Now people are a little bit more mature and understand that balance is not bad overall after the koreans started playing and we have seen some tournaments
Like when LOTV came out Protoss player died to Lurker because they ran into them with stalkers and now they just build Observer, Zealots, Archon and Immortal and Lurker are basically useless.
Game is always evolving. Maybe in 2 month everyone says Terran is stronger than protoss. who knows, but I think recent results have clearly shown to all people that Zerg is actually quite weak in LOTV

That's not how statistics work and not what these result shows.

Also, congratulations to uThermal. Deep run in a strong foreign bracket! Lolbow couldn't keep his BlizzCon promises though. Shame for TLO

After thinking about it, the entire viewership is completely irrelevant to the WCS system. Whatever happens, the viewer count will always range about the same value no matter what.
People do not tune in for a certain player or whatever, they tune in for the whole tournament or just Ro4 or the finals.

Oh please. Drogo was clearly the better player imo. Several times bly would send his entire army to deal with small harass and then drove would snipe a base with his army. He also lost a few hatches to single zealots. Don't act like balance won this for drogo. And before you say it, I play Zerg so I'm not fucking biased. Exactly my point about balance, WP harass, warps in 20 zealots, thats not a harass you can handle by branching off 5 roaches, Bly had to send at least half his army, which would have made it impossible for him to defend the army sniping the hatch anyway. In that situation Bly made the better choice, move whole army to get minimal losses from zealots since if you would take half there would be nothing they could do anyway. The games were low econ, they weren't maxed out, Bly didn't have a huge army. WP harass is really really hard to deal with. You realize 20 zealots is 40 supply right? At no point did Drogo warp in 20 zealots. Bly should have made static-D to mess with the zealot ai and kill or even damage the WP while protecting his expansions with his main army. He couldn't and that's why he repeatedly lost the econ war. Well you are correct, it probably wasn't 20 but it was more than 10, it was at least 12. I can count for you when the cast is up. Nevertheless it wasn't a "harass" you could handle by splitting off a fraction of your army. Man, do you even play sc2, you realize the WP can go anywhere on the map right? You can't build static D in your main, first exp, third exp and around everyone of your tech structures. That would cost huge amounts of resources. I'm guessing you didn't say the same thing about mutas in hots did you, "oh well its his own fault for not building static defense all over every base" Complaing about balance is stupid, it was probably Blys build orders but the last game, there was just never anything Bly could have done to win that game.
I personally didn't like sacrificing those Zerglings in the beginning. He sure did some damage but even after that harass I think they were even in workers while Drogo had been building up Adepts to defend vs the Lings. So he just built a few more and counterattacked, and after that Bly was behind.

Lol, apparently I wasn't clear enough. There were times he pulled his entire army back for ONE ZEALOT THAT WAS ATTACKING A BUILDING HATCH AND DIDN'T COME FROM A WARP PRISM. Obviously you have to split off more then a few units to deal with late game prisms warping in 12 zealots. But even then you don't need to pull the whole army over there.
Here lemme try....man do you even play sc2, you realize 2 roaches will kill 1 zealot right? They even added hotkeys in lotv that make it easier to split off units.

I did not see the finals, but overall I thought the tournament was really well paced and fun to watch. Since they don't broadcast every game and players are not on stage, maybe a loser bracket or another group stage would be really great/fair for players (eg: snute or marinelord not having to play almost only their worst MU). However the group stage-BO5-BO7 path was a great addition, dreamhacks always felt a bit too rushed even on Hots that had longer games. All in all I had a good time watching this dreamhack !

Is Drogo named after Khal Drogo from Game of Thrones? Wasn't expecting these results ! Were the games good?

Drogo was the protoss who made it really far in a HotS DH/IEM(?) wasn't he? Not surprising he finally wins a big one

Not exactly high quality but very back and forth and full of aggression. Drogo looked like a better player but Bly didn't give up easily.

Games weren't of the highest quality we have ever seen in the Starcraft.
As for name I think PtitDrogo is french for "little dragon" they said on stream I believe.

Do Koreans ever have tournaments on weekends?

Dragon in french is dragon though :p Drogo doesn't mean anything, but if the casters said so maybe it's what he's going for i guess
Ptit is basically petit which is like saying lil' instead of little

Pretty sure Hydra (viOlet might have bad aligulac elo, not sure) had the highest winning chance but it was more likely that someone who isn't him wins the whole thing.

Hydra's aligulac rating is still inflated as heck from him reking worse players in HotS. He was like top 10 on aligulac before he lost to Bly which is completely absurd considering how Hydra has been playing in LotV (and yes viOlet's rating was really low). Drogo wasn't even in the top 5 to win I think and Bly neither.
