Stats usually beats Dark, but I don't think his PvZ is on point lately. Dark is his usual self and should crush him

how good one of Stats' matchups is usually doesn't matter when he's playing an important tournament match. That guy just evalates his play to another level when it really counts.

By the way, still weird to me seeing people calling this a weekender when 3 out of 4 semifinalists have been playing here since last sunday or monday
I used to organize tournaments for ESL Italy and referee Go4SC2s, WCSs, and IEMs for ESL SC2.

He's super fun. Especially in online cups where he does better than offline.


He is fun, but he'd be even more fun if his micro and macro was better and those strategies of his were supported by those.

Well GuMiho is also let down by those skills quite a lot.

Basically, yes.

Or they just play one draw after another, because both of them are cursed to not win

I mean, here it was more about messing up the prism. But yeah, it seems like PvZ has gotten worse since the Nydus buff since it's generally the same Archon drop build by toss, over and over.

Sure, they do the same archon build for years but "it's nyndus fault", like when they open stargate every game and it's "drop overlord fault".

No clearly herO played rather bad in PvP, soO haven't done anything particular and crush him.

SoO Just countered herO perfectly, and nydus pushed the non Archon drop builds (2 Stargate) pretty much out of the Meta i think.

Yeah, but he can still compete at a high level. Fanta really is at the level of going out in the early group stage of any major tournament

I think considering when Fanta came back his level is really good already.

I don't understand how drop archons would be prefered, it's not like it counter nyndus. The response to drop archons is roach + queens, you just have to stop drone and to go mass roach + queens and add a nyndus and you got the perfect comp to make a nyndus all-in.

On the other side, with phoenix on the map you can deny any overlord that can get vision for nyndus.

So if soO would win this IEM and if he'd also win the GSL, could we consider him the best Player we've had in SC2? I mean this guys 2nd place finishes are unreal.

From the gameplay point of view. It wasnt even close. SoO was so much more better.
