I really think we're on to another year of complete domination from SKT

TY threw

He really kinda did. Unfortunate. I mean the actual tragedy in this is that we won't see TY play to make up for this for another 2+ weeks.

2+ weeks? When does the next round start? I guess at least a month break? :-(

Dunno. I think for the last two years the next round of PL always started ~2 1/2 weeks after the playoff finals for the previous round. That would be around mid April (the 11th or something). And his GSL group was pushed back by a week.

But usually there were 4 rounds per year. Now there are just 3 rounds per year. Therefore, I expect a break of 4-6 weeks :-(

That doesn't sound very realistic because the season started in February though. Even with 3 rounds, if they take breaks of that length, they'll be done at around Blizzcon. With round 3. That's really late and not very good for the teams and players.

Which is exactly why I said his pylon/building placement was shite. This is easy to prevent(for a pro) if you have better vision of your base.

Even without perfect vision, overlords floated into his mineral lines unhindered at that point in the game. Why would that happen on this level of play if not for a drop? So just pull the damn probes.

For scouting, 2 robos just went down - wouldn't have been an odd scout timing

But yeah he was slow to react. Nydus followup looks stupid but it's the bane drops that made it impossible to stop. Zest made mistakes, but I'm still not happy with PvZ. Protoss has essentially one build, zerg only need to figure out that they're not being all-inned and can then dictate exactly how they want the game to go.

Not a balance concern though. Just makes the matchup really boring from a protoss perspective.

Yeah, PvZ is quite stale already and not that interesting.

Indeed. I think we are the only one who can possibly defeat SKT.

It seems that SKT < KT < JAGW < SKT. Which would be a nice balance but SKT is OP these days... Kespa should call David Kim.

Maru can beat anyone from SKT except the two Zergs. Who could beat the two Zergs? Actually, I am not sure. sOs could beat anyone, but he could also lose to anyone. Rogue used to be good, ZvZ is a bit random, but Dark will have the training from SSL ... well, we will probably not find any weapon against these two Zergs :-(

I honestly would like us to take it to the ace match but I'm not that confident in victory. I think we'll have to lead with Maru, and save $O$ for a snipe or something but not rely on him to AK?

I agree with saving sOs for later, but what is they start with Dark or soO? Then, it would be a very tough match. Maybe, we should start with Cure? And maybe, with some miracle, he could beat a Zerg ...

I haven't been watching my "3 hours" a week, but I wonder if we can get some map specialists for the Dark/soO combo.

Well, if nothing else, it will be interesting to see who plays on Saturday, whether it's Trap or Cure. I'd personally favor Cure over Trap against most players SKT could field (actually the only time I'd send out Trap over Cure is probably vs INnoVation). I hope the match will be at least half as good as the one today, otherwise I'll get even more annoyed that KT lost.

Trap maybe? He has a great record vs dark. soO is problem though.

Trap used to be very good at it, but it's now LotV, and his style of PvZ isn't really a thing anymore. Similarly, Cure always did well against Dark in HotS and poorly against soO.

So many things have changed in LotV, who knows how they match up now?

There's some matchups I think Jin Air should definitely avoid if they can, like Cure vs INnoVation. But it's hard to judge overall. Classic has been in bad shape recently, otherwise he'd be an excellent counter to pretty much anyone on Jin Air.
