I wonder how much the nydus worm threat hurts early game terran openers. Also curious how much the threat of randomly timed mutas (which were indirectly buffed through thor nerf) make the midgame harder and I wonder to what extend the ultra buff makes terrans feel like lategame is even worse than it already was.

Those changes might have an indirect effect on the balance.

Yes that's very possible. Like the Leenock vs Maru game with the nydus looked weird.

Wait Maru got eliminated already ? is he on a slump lately ? (just checked the groups)

I was really looking forward for this group stages as it looked stacked(RL stuff came into play so i just started watching now) but Serral looks dominating again.

I think at this point it's a mix of him not playing as well and terran being bad on this patch, because other terrans seem to struggle just as much.


For tvp I understand but in zvt these results make me a bit clueless considering the creep/hydra/queen nerf... I mean for sure the situation was not very great prior to the patch but it seems like it has worsened.


I don't really get it either to be honest nydus is stupid but it's not what make the difference in most cases, maybe it's the maps

or terrans are just depressed from all the TvPs they play. From watching foreign terrans stream I at least get that impression this could be the case.

I don't know if you watch any protoss streams but Zest was getting annihilated by Maru in the lategame on ladder. He looked almost unbeatable with non stop counterattacks, nukes, and ghost snipes/emps.

He looked really fucking good which makes these results even more depressing
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

He just made a lot of mistakes tbh. Don't really know if it's a slump or just a bad day/travel.

I saw his ladder games against Zest the other day and he looked absolutely insane, made protoss look completely lost in the lategame with constant multitasking. But he didn't show any of that here.


Jet lag doesnt exist, you filthy Korean elitist.


In my mind and without a doubt:

Maru is the best player in the world in preparation format and long tournament, because he is insanely good at preparing strategies and has the micro to do stuff no one is capable of.

Serral is the best player in the world in week/week-end tournament, by far, because he is the most solid and consistent player in the world. In this format, I think TY has a much better chance against Serral than Maru in my opinion.



Now the question is which kind of tournament is the "best representative" and there is no good answer there, it's apple and orange.

Oddly enough, Special performed to expectation in the group of Protoss.
I bear this sig to commemorate the loss of the team icon that commemorated Oversky's 2008-2009 Proleague Round 1 performance.
