Will Stats be the new Rain?

Zest is a lot more like Rain.


True, both have solid defensive play. But I think Zest edges slightly in decision-making (timings and engagement), whilst Rain edges slightly in macro and consistency. So Zest will take calculated risks and snowball his way to victory, whilst Rain plays safer and grinds to victory more slowly. Slight differences, though.

Stats plays much safer than Zest, hence more similar to Rain, I feel.

Another silver for TY. I guess its an improvement from the numerous 3rd-4th places.

I love Stats but I really wanted him to lose. Like, really, really wanted him to lose. TY was way more impressive for me today.

But I still have no clue why KeSPA told Blizzard that Terran is the strongest race and this series didn't help me understand it either.

Stupid, stupid lag. Missed the last engagements of all games because of it :@

I wonder if there is anywhere in the world I can move to, where you can watch local, NA and Chinese streams without delay???

TY's play is more flashy, hence easier to love.

Stats' play is more subtle, hence easier to underrate.

But I do feel for TY. He deserves a massive win. I think he lacks the mental fortitude. For instance, the stim-less timing in G6 was an unnecessary risky and desperate gamble.

...I liked this tournament pretty much and this final was really nice to watch!
...if I have to point out one good and one bad thing about this, I'd say the weird prize pool system for the good and the excessive dispersion of the matches (2 months for 4 groups and a 8-players DE bracket are way too much) for the bad... hope to see a Season 2 very soon!

Nice, Stats is on fire atm. Btw just saw this on Liquipedia:

"Life is replaced by Stats due to match-fixing related charges and arrest."

Meaning Stats wouldn't even have played normally. Nice substitute player.

I missed it
Fucking work, babysitting 15 years old students that couldn't care less about what I'm trying to teach them while great Starcraft is being played.

Sad for TY.

Huh, I thought Stats would end up getting a bit more money. He only lost 5 maps in the entire tournament. This system is weird. Interesting but weird.
