Hmm this army control from Showtime is pretty lackluster. Why not blink forward and handle the siege units instead of just fighting the bunker while eating shots...

SpeCial's mechanics have always been a strong point in his game. His micro doesn't really hold up compared to his macro though.

That's a strong point

Nevertheless, some targeting would have been helpful

I don't really understand the point of just proxy on barrack. It feels like a very big risk for something that don't give a lot of reward? Maybe a probe kill or two?

It's pretty low risk but the reward generally isn't much either anymore. Now that Protoss players don't have to be scared of reactor cyclones anymore they don't delay their nexus beyond the bare minimum either.

SpeCial's mechanics have always been a strong point in his game. His micro doesn't really hold up compared to his macro though.

A lot of the time he looks like he's multitasking well by sending units/drops all around the map, but then none of them actually get micro'd and they end up being lost without doing anything. But he definitely seems better in this tournament.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

just trying to pull the opponent out their comfort zone and trying to make him second guessing.

That's how it goes. His idol is TY but his own strengths make him closer to Innovation.

He reminds me of super super old Gumiho actually. A lot of sloppy multitask during his first big GSL run back in WoL.

Also, this game is really sad. Showtime was looking solid and then just fell apart.
Ganzi beat me without stim. Ostojiy beat me with a nydus. Siphonn beat me with probes. Revival beat my sentry-immortal all-in.

Showtime just seemed to play worse as the series progressed, Special almost the opposite.

Finally the WCS status quo is restored and SpeCial can lose another Ro4.
