Still mind-boggling that the furthest a Jin Air player got to this tournament was Trap in the ro12

Trap usually performs at Katowice. Last year he was close to 3-0'ing Serral

Yeah it's strange, that was one of the best series of last year's tournament btw, that Catalyst game was bonkers. Shame that he ended up getting reverse-swept but what can you do, it's Serral..

So apparently korean Terran only is what you want to see are in Starcraft 2?
I bet you loved 2011 when Code A and S when Terran was 50% of the field and ro4 were Terran exclusive.
Shocking revelation: I did not mind as I greatly enjoyed Mvp, MMA, Bomber, Polt and so on.
In any of case, that era is over! This was a very bad tournament for Terran but I don't think this will be the trend for the next korean/international tournaments(no hope in WCS unless Clem becomes Reynor or Serral starts playing offrace in non finnish cups).

PvP strategic dept is so big, no one can understand it.

So yes it's freaking random as hell and everybody does whatever

I keep seeing comments like this and I genuinely don't get it

What is so confusing about these matches? What went unexpectedly based on the player's actions and decisions?

Hero is an excellent player and has been for ages, he's dope at PvP so things have worked out in his favor but seriously someone unexpected gets on a hotstreak like every tournament

herO scraped through the PvP group and should have lost the first two games to Trap. So it's actually unbelievable he's in the top 4 at this point.

No, I want to watch equal games of all 3 races, not some race getting anihilated of the tournament because Blizzard balance team is not capable of balancing the game.
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

I literally said nothing about being unhappy with this, I've always liked herO and its great to see him get a good result after such a bad 2018. stop putting words in my mouth

So sad that TY is out. Having dinner and a few beers with Heromarine and his friends now though and had a nice long talk with Take. So still a great day so far!
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Phoenix vs Phoenix was really the only particularly stupid thing about PvP and it's more or less gone'

If you can't understand current PvP after 9 years of SC2 then you are either obtuse or aren't trying
