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)

Why so much fuss about the swarm hosts on stream (french one) tho lol, he only made 5 SH for harass, not like he massed them and fought frontally with them like in the bad old days xD.

nobody but Rogue has made a SH in a competitive game in a year, barring the missclick swarm host generals

Yes but it's still only 5 SH so if you are a bit ahead it's still decent ^^. At worst they'll be useless but if you are ahead it doesn't matter that much anyways.


5 SH uncontested can outDPS overcharge and stalker defense squads. locusts 2shot probes
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

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.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

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)

if you don't kill the player going for SHs immidiately you're usually in a bad spot.
fortunately you can just kill him most of the time.
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

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
