It's revealing to see how Neeb's form is being impact by jet-lag, and realizing that all the other Korean players had been dealing with a similar handicap Well that argument is a stretch. You can't say that all koreans have had jet lag to this degree. In fact, it's noticable when they do have it, such as MC when he lost to Idra 0-2 or 0-3 in MLG Columbus, and then the next day beat him handidly 3-0 or 4-0 in the rematch. | ||

Why are people surprised that he's not at his best here???? There's a difference between not being your best and looking like you're a 4k MMR player. | ||

On the plus side, if he does better than ShoWTimE in this event then he'll go up against Dark in the first round of blizzcon. So losing here isn't a complete disaster. | ||

In their quest to overhype Reynor, people will forget that with preparation and sleep, Neeb thrashed Reynor in GSL, instead hyping a far less important match with jet lag and no sleep. | ||

Why are people surprised that he's not at his best here???? Preparing for TY would be an excuse if the problem was Neeb's build orders not being the most inspired, or his reads not being on point. It doesn't really explain the fact that his mechanics look terribly off. | ||

It doesn't really explain the fact that his mechanics look terribly off. Overpracticing one matchup can effect your mechanics in others though. What would usually be reflex/muscle memory may be slower if you haven't done it much. But I do agree that right here Neeb is playing worse than normal. Maybe he's just tired from the late flight. | ||
