In the last couple of years Rogue has gotten unlucky in the ro8s. It's not like his choking/curse or whatever is having him regularly lose to weak opponents.

In 2017 he faced Stats (worlds best PvZ at the time), and soO (world's best ZvZ at the time). In 2018 he faced peak Maru (world's best player at the time). All three were seriously (and I mean seriously) tight 2-3 losses.

And in all three of those cases, had he won, I think he wins those seasons. Classic/Gumiho, sOs/INno, and Classic/Zest would have mostly been walkovers compared to who he met in the ro8s.

Then there's season 3 of last year where he played like an absolute joke and lost to Neeb (who admittedly was probably a top 3 PvZer at the time). That was concerning to say the least.

Neeb has been the number one or two PvZ for like two years in a row now.

Maybe this season we will have our first Zerg Code S champion since 2015 Season 1 where "He Who Shall Not Be Named" won...

It's actually pretty wild how long ago that is

Yeah I was thinking about that the other day and I couldn't remember if the last zerg champion was Soulkey in 2013 or not, which nearly six (six!) years ago.

On another note it has also probably been years since I've stayed up this late to watch GSL. Brings me back :D
