Well, normally I would say it;s fine, because Cure isn't exactly at the top, but JAGW team kills can go quite weird with Maru.

If Dear's gonna get out, it must be him beating Dark imo. I really can't see him beating herO in a PvP.

I didn't realize that would be the case until you mentioned it - I thought there were two Zergs in this group, but that's obviously not the case!

Hope Dark makes it through as I would like to see more Zerg representation in the round of eight.

As a Long time lurker in this page, with almost no or little comments, all I can say is that I'm very happy to finally be in Korea. I'm at the waiting lobby of the freecUp studios and frankly I'm quite exited

One zerg in the ro8 feels almost par for the course, given the complete lack of success zergs have had in LotV GSL.

Colossi aren't meta since while it does okay if it's actually just ling/bane/hydra it's kinda a technological dead end since you have to spend so much gas on sentries, and you can just die a lot to ravager stuff. Players would rather have immortals earlier and transition into their chargelot/archon/immortal into HT bread and butter.

What hive units would he go for? Cracklings I guess? Since brood lords would take ages to cross Year Zero.

Dark with the zerghole play.
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

Why do units unload out of Nydus that quiickly ? This looks ridiculous.

herO kinda fell apart defending tho, but the speed of unload just look like it's speed up compared to normal gamespeed

herO split his army really badly even when the first Nydus came out and Dark didn't even take advantage of it as much as he could have. After that he just didn't have enough anywhere anymore.

zerghole right now is giving zerg the flexibility for multi prong aggression at weak points the way protoss has with warp prism or terran with medivacs, pull the opponent in too many directions to handle unless the defending forces are split really well

i do agree the zerghole unload speed seems a bit too fast tho

It's kinda crazy to think that you can now unload Nyduses as fast as you could load them back before the buff.

What's the nerf they're considering again? An armor nerf? I think pretty much everyone feels that the unload is the bigger issue though.

That was a lot closer than I expected Cure vs Dear to be (though even then there wasn't a moment where Cure was close to winning).

Armor nerf means allins are worse, which is a good thing. Blizzard seems to think the fast travel is a feature, not a bug.

I can see where they're coming from too, nobody likes watching nydus allins since they're super binary, but nydus harass is not too different than drops really. Defending them is more a map awareness issue than anything since they'll be a lot easier to kill with less armor.

yeah they usually make comments that may seem super obvious and pointless to people who know the game. im guessing blizz wants them to make those comments for any new viewers not familiar with SC2

When you're casting for hours not everything you say will be brilliantly insightful. I don't think it has anything to do with Blizzard.

Wow. The Protoss third being pretty much untouched during the Nydusing was key, but even then I didn't believe in Dear's chances.

These sentry drops from Dear are kinda funky. Last game it looked like Dear was even trying to wall off the drones against the minerals to deny mining like the beta oracle did.

Maru vs Dear will tell us if Maru is washed out or if he still has his GSL magic.

yeah with how well Dear is playing lately in PvT I think Maru should be very worried, if he can beat Maru I think Dear has a pretty clear run to the finals

Impressive performance by Dear.
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

He could get 3-0ed in a PvP again.

Dear's play was so precise and crisp, he basically made Dark look silly.

Dear's on a 10 match (20-0 map score) PvT streak now

I think he's favored against Maru, and it's not really a strike against Maru to lose to him XD

The very fast double starport is interesting. It took him a while to actually start producing from both so I wonder if the second starport got built so early to get the first two medivacs out faster while the proxied one flies back.

I wonder if one day it will be standard in TvP to camp one viking in the main just for warp prism defense. I feel if it wasn't for F2 fucking that up, it would almost always be worth the safety.

Cure getting ruined by harass and herO keeps running into Libs. Both are showing huge weaknesses in their play

A warp prism can still get damage done though--drop a stalker or two.

And are those ten shield batteries powered by one pylon?

I'm actually favouring Cure here. Doesn't look like herO has the highest level of control for a late game army. He ain't no Neeb.

It's not foolproof for sure but scv repair can help, and late game harass is very often pure zealots.

For what it's worth, the Ro8 will be played after the Protoss upgrade nerf. Not sure what impact that might have.

That is some amazing, multipronged strategic play by Hero. Tempest high templar is an ingenious army composition, I would have never thought of that.

I think the conclusion is that the best micro won't save you if you cannot scout an all-in.

Hero is a Bonjwa level Protoss who shows next level macro, micro, strategy, and multitasking with his ingenious plays.

For me it would be he needs to identify how all in hero was a bit earlier, and have slightly better simcity so the stalkers don't just walk over his tanks.

Not really, hero shows what army advantage you get if the protoss cuts probes at 28 while the terran keeps producing scvs at 37.

Congrats to Dear and Dark for advancing! As convenient as it may seem, I'm glad Dark got out second so a chance for him to get to the finals is real

I dont think he directly lost any games on purpose, but Darks first four games looked like he didnt care too much if he lost a series. Paid off! Great ro8.
