Oh yes, this too! He didn't react at all for any of the ovies.

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.

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.

Wow KT's out already! Great news for SKT

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.

Reading the LR makes the VODs seem very enticing!

I think we'll have to lead with Maru, and save $O$ for a snipe or something but not rely on him to AK?

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 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.
