Is there no English castes stream of the NA qualifiers? Why are the only streams Korean and German?

Because ESL has lots of shitty rules about only partners being allowed to cast stuff. See:

On the contrary, he lost to NoRegreT's 16/16 and then soon after beat Dark in a bo11. Who knows what he'll do now that he has lost to Bly.

Trap really can't deal with cheese can he?
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Maru and Solar are duking it out in another one of those super-lategame TvZ matches. Good stuff.

Maru has no chance beating Solar in their current forms. Shame becuase Solar would probably play in the open bracket if he doesn't qualify whereas Maru won't

Bly knows the pain of EU-KR ping better than anyone, so it's no surprise that he knows how to exploit it.

Cure is confirmed the worst player on Jin Air

Really? Solar's form has been shaky too dropping out of the GSL in quite unimpressive fashion.

Solar supposed to be in really good form right now, a shame he got ZvZ'd out of GSL in the Ro32

In ZvZ maybe. But Solar's ZvT has been some of the best in korea for a long time. Even last year he was held back purely by his ZvP

Solar's ZvT is really good but definitely not the best in Korea. That title goes to either Dark or Rogue.

Rogue ZvT is at 45% post-patch and it looked quite weird against aLive.

He's up there. Last GSL season he played only ZvT until the playoffs and didn't lose a map. I would say Dark may be better but Rogue hasn't proved anything. His run last year was carried by ZvP/Z

I was talking about 2017 since everyone's results post-4.0 are pretty limited. Rogue in particular seems to have slumped pretty hard after Blizzcon (understandable).

So......either Maru was underrated or Solar was overrated.

All's well that ends well I suppose.

EDIT: Oh wait stupid me this is a Bo5 not a Bo3. Hopefully Maru can close it out.

That push from Maru was insane. I didn't think attacking into that position would every work. Not sure what happened with Solar's counterattacks though they didn't seem to do much
