Well, it's not like they don't care much, but from the start of the year we saw some interesting trend. soO wins IEM and ends in the next RO16 he plays. Innovation wisn WESG and ends in the next RO16 he plays. Maru wins Code S and is present in the RO16 of GSL ST1. The question is - will he break the combo? And against Stats of all people? Who has so much time of preparation and doens't need to sober after the Code S winning party? Damn, that's tough. | ||

Although didn't Solar say that dreamhack wasn't a real tournament or something at one point For most players ignoring super tournament is still stupid. The WCS points and money alone should be motivation. Last year Maru and Rogue were already locked for blizzcon and the richest sc2 players of all time, so it made sense when they underperformed in them. | ||

(Z)Dark 3 - 1 (T)GuMiho (Z)Rogue 3 - 0 (P)Hurricane (Z)RagnaroK 3 - 1 (P)PartinG Looks like a good bracket for Rogue to reach at least a semi. I am really hoping we get that Rogue vs Maru that has been alluding us for so long because Rogue screws it up in GSL RO8. But of course Maru might be hungover so it gonna be touch, well see | ||

It was a bit meh but maru lost a lot of resources doing that. This time though we'll see stats play after having done quite a bit of damage with phoenixs. If this mech thing works again I'll be amazed. | ||

Usually mech is very abusable in early game, especially to certain timing attacks. Maru has the best unit control in the world and he can keep Protoss of his side of the map long enough that P can't establish map control before the mech reaches it's critical mass. The most common scenario when a Terran attempts mech is that Protoss will archon/immortal/chargelot bust them before 1/1 finishes on the armories and control the game from there. | ||

It is a bitch to have to micro where the worms are and in Dark's case his units are all air units anyway so it doesn't make sense but I don't see how having one for the Queens wouldn't be helpful in a situation like this. | ||

And considering the way these games are going I wouldn't count the BIG BOY out. If anything, Stats seems to have a clear path to the finals(can't really say, to be honest, after those surprising results). | ||

I think bringing mech is pretty smart, even if it’s just for one series if you get it working, your opponent has little experience of playing against it anyway, and basically zero experience of playing against a Maru level player trying it. | ||

You guys know that pvp meta doesn't really exist anymore outside of a few niche situations? It's not even comparable to 2016's pvp meta. Neeb isn't doing too well vs PvP anymore, he's said it himself. | ||

EVRY DAMMN TOURNAMENT Dark has not won a Premier tournament in almost three years, that's dishearteneing; on the other hand, he always manages to look top tier(because he is, he just chokes 24/7). Dark's ZvT is the best in the world, this loss against Gumiho is disappointing; if that would happened to Serral, we'd have been overflown by hateful comments insinuating that he is overrated, weak against Terran and so on. | ||

Amazing, what was cool was we didn’t just get to see something new style wise, we also got to see other new stuff too. It’s pretty rare you get to see a player facing something so unexpected, and we got to see Stats making adjustments here and there. Was re-watching them there, Stats did a ton of amazing small things for strategic that people don’t notice as much because it’s Protoss and their control is less flashy. Really good series. | ||
