lol did they really put Major in 30?

he's clearly better than Lambo, Serral, Firecake, Pilipili, Huk, Pig, Puck, Masa, Harstem, Kelthuzad, Neeb and Elazer and probably better than Mana and Bunny as well tbh.

rofl Major isn't even close to Elazer/FireCake/Serral

well keep in mind i'm talking completely out of my HotS ass as i don't have a real clue of what happened after that in the foreigner scene, hence my sig. but yeah, i generally tend to rank players by potential, not by average performance, so Major would have to be somewhere close to the top.

The power rank was almost entirely based on their LotV results, of which MajOr has very little. He struggled in Copa America, and his qualification came with a couple of sloppy sets which made me think he had promise (which I noted in my writing) but because of his repeated failures in WCS last year I was cautious and placed him low. He's performed well today, so he ends up looking underrated, but that reasoning is completely logical and is not contradicted by the reality we have observed.

I think people shitting on the PR should try doing their own and see if they don't look silly at some points


More importantly, realising that doing a PR before writing the games is harder than doing it after you know all the results

yeah ofc I meant doing it before the tournament, it's easy to rank the losers from #32 to #17 and the winners from #16 to #1 and say "look how clever I am" lol


yep
It's just that unsurprisingly 90% of the criticism has come after the matches rather than before

You deserve some shit for Drogo at #3 though, he's looked pretty weak the weeks leading up to IEM.

Yeah this is the only one I really disagreed on even before the tournament

Yeaaaah it's pretty questionable, I admit that. I suppose I just saw a way for PtitDrogo to win the tournament, but I wasn't really sure where to place him within the people who -could- win, so I ended up overrating him pretty hard. I'll take that one on the chin!

10 minute break between maps .

Or is it 3 now? Maybe 13?
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Major is really good at applying pressure, but it seems that when it comes to pushing his advantage he's not quite as good. He seems to not have that killer instinct to help him end the game

His army control is incredibly subpar to his other skillsets, and army control is Snute's strong point.
In PvZ the zerg can make the situation spire out of control but protoss can adept to the situation.

what do you use Vipers for in ZvT? Parasitic bomb?


yes, particularly against someone who stubbornly refuses to split


thanks, I've seen lots of Vipers... but almost always they get a-moved into the fight and die


I have actually never seen this in a pro game before this series in ZvT, I think. But the first game made it really clear that Major has probably neither and he doesn't really have the training in splitting out the green ones.

On the other hand, on ladder, I build vipers every single game the opponent has any air, in any matchup

Shoulda watched the LotV vods to see how to win, RIP.

I wonder if MajOr still has contact with some of his former teammates from Team 8.

I think there is a chance ! At least I can't wait to see how Hydra will deal with that annoying lategame style.

Happy, the Conqueror of Nightmares

I'm really happy I went with the whole 'monster under the bed' thing for Hydra considering how universal the fear has been for him in interviews, lol.

Love Snute's style. Not quite sure whether this is the best approach to the midgame yet, but otherwise, really cool.
