Serious great play from him, wish he could have played like this all year. On the other hand Showtime looks lost, beating Byun looks like a fluke.
I'd say it's the other way around, right now Showtime is not really showing his strengths. In fact not playing like this is what he's known for (i.e. defending everything)

5 SH uncontested can outDPS overcharge and stalker defense squads. locusts 2shot probes

Elazer 3-0ed Showtime 3 weeks ago, so maybe he it's just a but matchup for Showtime, playstyle wise. I think Showtime is much stronger vs Nerchio's style.

I think he was just unlucky all year long with the brackets, having to fight top opponents without having time to prepare, but with preparation he can take them all. (EU ones)

I dunno, Showtime hasn't shown the consistency of other high level foreigners.

Nerchio plays a bad composition, everybody is stronger vs his style ;p

So, as you may know, I haven't followed much sc2 in the last year. Are banelings super common in ZvP now? Saw them in the ro16 too.

I think this performance cements Elazer as the best foreign macro zerg since Idra

So going back to the roots of mass adepts?
