Guru and playing safe LOL I didn't see game 1, but game 2 he went for a pretty standard opening and got early pooled. He played okay, but ultimately Solar edged him out. Going hatchery first in a zvz isn't and indicator of any kind of a mindset... playing safe would be opening pool first and having a BO win vs 13/12 If I phrased it as more of a mindset that's my bad, but I'm just saying I don't think you can really let korean players get into their comfort zone, which going hatch first in ZvZ definitely does. Afaik Solar loves his aggro ling/bling wars against players who aren't soO. in GSL he lost to Leenock's 13/12 while opening pool first so I doubt he loves ling/bane, especially given how often he skips banelings at all in ZvZ
I dunno, he looked pretty damn comfortable against Guru v0v It's just usually an awkward position, I guess. I think the aggressive player tends to have a big comfort lead in ZvZ, being on the back foot is never fun in that matchup.

How do you go from S-class to losing to Guru?

Trust 1-1 Serral, better game from Serral.

Is it surprising? Scarlett's never been very consistent in ZvZ. I kind of knew she'd struggle to rely on the matchup, because across her entire career she's been inconsistent in the matchup. She lost to Namshar in WCS, which is when I really started to think 'yeah, this isn't gonna last'.

I mean, if she'd lose to a decent foreigner I could get it...

Jet lag, ZvZ randomness, Polish Zerg OP, etc.

If anyone expected big things from DnS/souL/Bly/Drogo, idk what they're smoking. They're okay players but that group has some koreans in it which just utterly outclass them.

People are saying that the gap between foreigners and Koreans narrowed. I think it's more that Koreans aren't as good as they were before. They don't have a team or a coach behind them anymore I don't think?

Well Guru is not exactly a great player, Solar should comfortably win most times regardless

I accept the jet lag explanation. I'd also accept touched by JYP.
