Just the same as soO, definitely disappointing. Reynor played only against T.

IEM Katowice though, it's not an invitational where the finalist got here thanks to a random youtuber.  | ||

The casters were obviously in the right mood too.  The team match was definitely the highlight of the tournament for me. The final itself was pretty underwhelming as I expected and felt more like an addendum. The mixed GSL/World teams are growing on me. It's nice to see the cross region rapport that develops as the match goes on. | ||

That and .... requiring GSL v World .... after the teams are made is ..... not good. Why should we be blocked from seeing Dark v Maru ... ect I had a great time viewing the event, Rotterdam is offically my favorite sc2 caster with Maynarde in close second. They have raised the bar for quality commentary to such a professional level. (not a knock on Artosis or Tasteless ... I appreciate the work you do and have done to grow our sport) | ||

We were epsilon away from a Neeb/Serral final, iconic given both their reputations as Korean slayers, probably with a similar Serral W outcome frankly. Had Neeb (a player I truly respect) not thrown G4 to such an extent that both Elazer and Serral were laughing, nobody would even be mentioning infestors; another PvZ final would have gone on with barely more noise than Stats/Serral at ROG. Also Elazer's a Blizzcon semifinalist and beats Dark on his best days so.... Gratz to players&casters for a terrific event, and mods here for keeping it sane. Haters or not, this tournament rocked. | ||

The production was awesome, the pacing was excellent and I appreciate all the the hard work behind the scenes that doesn't make it to the screen. I hope the event impressed Mr. CEO and our community is supported in perpetuity. | ||

Cannot find. (I'm either blind or there are no such) That was Zerg Grandmaster class performance (by European standards) from Elazer. They all co-evolve on these creeps. Elazer would deserve his own fan club thread. (if there is already, please correct me fondly, if not then hurry up an Euro-Zerg and make one!) | ||

Thank god for the mods and TL’s moderation standards. Other SC communities are unreadable garbage where the odd interesting discussion might break out. People were relentlessly complaining about Protoss and suddenly it just switched to whining about Infestors. Infestors which weren’t even a factor in a whole bunch of games anyway! It’s a shame for Neeb that he threw so hard, but that game was and awesome because of it. Weird games where people aren’t following their original plans and builds I feel are underrated as ‘good Starcraft’ because you get to see people think on their feet. I thought Elazer was a lock then Neeb did this weird attack I thought was a terrible idea that crippled Elazer, who subsequently came back with a dream engagement. Good stuff. | ||

If this, if that. Lots of possibilities. In the end neeb didn't win and we got (another) zvz finals. What could have happened doesn't matter much at all compared to what DID happen. | ||

Honestly, You could have written a post worth reading but what you DID write was garbage. Am I doing it right? | ||

He tried to be modest at first but the lie detector caught him and he admitted the above. Specials answers were great too. Maru was saying that Rogue was better than Serral so maybe he's not that great at evaluating players. | ||

His specific statement was that if he practiced with rogue he could beat Serral easily and he stated that around the time of blizzcon last year. We haven't seen anything to disprove that. Rogue was in much better form back then and Serrals ZvT has also improved a lot since then. I think he was mediocre at the matchup until the loss to innovation at WESG. After that there's a significant improvement. Maru is better at evaluating players than 99% of the people who play or watch StarCraft. | ||
