HoTS PvP made sense but those deathball fights were boring af tbh.

It had a lot of skill though. Players like Zest, Classic, sOs, and herO had great consistency and a clear tier between them.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

I'm all for herO winning but the likelyhood of another 3-0 is pretty comical

Yes, as expected. A trash cheeser long past his prime, who barely made it from the qualifier (lost to foreigner who is not Neeb or Serral), and barely made it from the group, has a free ticket to the RO4 because he faces even bigger noobs in their worst matchups.
I only hope that we get really fast games like these first 2 to end the suffering of this tournament as soon as possible.

I surely had no idea what the hell is going on in my PvP's for a year now. Whenever i lost or won, I was clueless.

In WoL it was easier. You knew what you're going and what they're doing even before the game started ;P

I think people like to overstate how boring it was because of FUCKING LASERS. There was some pretty cool and sometimes intricate stuff involved in actually managing the fights properly. That gave some consistency to it which is lacking now to the point where Stats can lose to MC in Code S (in sad fashion) but a few weeks later have the best PvP in the world.

Dear is the worst PvP player of all time, and Trap is also terrible in this MU (and probably caught the Katowice Jinair virus as well)...

HotS PvP was better than WoL PvP, but it was still the worst mirror unless Roaches were involved.

Had to perfectly place your Force Fields so that not only could they not get up the ramp, they couldn't even get high ground vision .

Boring to look at, but had a lot of strategic depth and skill to it.
