That this game lasted 24 minutes given that it started off with Neeb losing 60+ probes to widow mine drops is rather impressive/unimpressive.

Man, midgame drilling claw drops are so good, too bad you can't actually fit it into any standard builds.

Now that uthermal is out of the way, we can have the true NA clownfest that is Neeb vs Masa

This build from astrea was just about as close to a hard counter as you'll see against what epic was doing lol

puCK's style is very distinctive. I wonder how he deals with mass harass given that he spreads out really fast and sacrifices some tech for eco.

Being a worker in the hands of uThermal's opponent sounds pretty unfortunate.

Good run for Masa, and hopefully there'll be more of him in WCS NA

Expected finals I guess, even though uThermal had to play his weakest matchup for most of the tournament. I don't see Neeb losing this but still hyped

does neeb get a 1 map advantage for being from the winner's match?

No. All he gets is to pick the entire map order. Which is barely an advantage, even weaker than giving a 1 map advantage in a bo7, which itself is not enough to compensate for not having a "second life" (unlike everyone else in the tournament).

So if uthermy wins 4-3 then he'd win the tournament having gone 5-6 in map score against neeb haha

Somehow it feels like uThermal matches up better vs Neeb compared to Astrea. These games are all so close and winnable.

Agreed. He keeps on getting these very playable, and sometimes winning positions, but then struggles a lot to close them out.

If only we could just swap Cure in at the twelve-ish minute mark each time...
