If I was in it then it wouldn't be a road to semis for him, it would be a way out of the tournament

You cannot answer with something like that, 4/10 response imo


He just needs to eliminate INno for it to retroactively become a 9/10 response though.

Sure that would be a possibility, gl with that


Yeah it's too bad that MajOr will eliminate INno and prevent this from happening.

0-0 is also a potential 3-0 so I guess 2-1 to 2-3 is more accurate

To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

I actually think herO is the harder opponent for Inno than Stats is. While Stats is certainly the stronger player, herO is way more unpredictable/cheesy and Inno is at his best in macro games like Stats plays.

It's basically guaranteed that Stats vs Inno will be the semis, and what a semis it will be. Inno 3-2 Stats is my prediction but I could definitely see Stats 3-2 Inno as well.

There was a match between 2 Koreans, a match between 2 foreigners, a one-sided foreigner vs Korean match and a very close foreigner vs Korean match.

Which did you miss?

It depends entirely on how INno plays tbh. Stats is really good at shutting down early aggression, but he has huge blindspots in his play (as demonstrated by his series against Forte). If INno adapts I think he could easily crush Stats. If he plays to Stats's strength things won't go well for him.

I caught only game 4 and it seemed like Serral got outplayed. Then I checked the results for today and it was mainly 3-0 stomps. Which got me thinking about the skill level differences, or lack of as claimed by some.

I've heard Tastosis talk about "The Blob" movie 8 times now. in memory of the greatest action movie star ever, Steve Mcqueen, I think the LR threads are a good place to keep a running total. if Tastosis says it another 8 times by the end of BlizzCon 2017 i promise to watch the entire movie, start to finish and provide a review in the movie thread.

It's amazing how you did not seem to notice that out of those 3 "stomps":
- 1 was KR vs KR
- 2nd was LatAm vs LatAm
- 3rd was fucking INnoVation playing a Zerg
Liquipedia lists country flags for all the players, Koreans are the ones with a white rectangle and a blue/red circle in the middle (not to be confused with Japan which has a full red circle and no symbols in the corners of the flag)

Well, the gap is huge, but there are some successes.
When the foreigner Major destroyed his opponent 3-0, or when the Korean herO lost 0-3.

That's TY vs. Scarlett. iAsonu just got out of a GSL style group by beating the two most recent GSL champions. Scarlett ends GSL style groups in last place with a single win.
