I do kind of feel bad for Dark, I would still bet on him in a no-nydus meta, but this is kind of sad to watch.


There is really no point or proof how Dark would play without nydus, but he clearly profits from it now but its his job so can't blame him

Dark has entertained us with great plays for what feels like forever, it's a bit sad idd when balance is like this even for the winning players. It's like Lewis Hamilton in F1.
I Protoss winner, could it be?

In double elim you can literaly lose most of the game vs an opponent and win the tournament. (or at least a tie)


The only format practical for deciding who is the best is Bo7 Round Robin.

DE is a compromise, SE is time-biased choice.

it can happen in double elim too. Win everything until winners final, drop down, lose. probably still highest winrate :x

There are many other formats, all superior to SE and DE.

Totally agree. I think anyone's Zerg performance at this state of the game will be downplayed or rejected. It's sad, because Dark and other's are playing extremely well and sharp. It's just too hard to distinguish balance from performance atm.

I just finished reading the whole LR thread, had to go out for a gaming night after Serral won against soO.
You guys should not blame balance team, you should blame yourselves since you were screaming "Protoss op" when they really weren't; Blizzard's fault was listening to you.

I had never seen Serral threw that hard, it was kind of amazing; you guys really didn't understand anything of me if you think I'd in shambles since Reynor, who I love almost as much, was the one beating Serral this time; also, ZvZ must be a bad matchup, right? That series was so exciting.

I'm happy Classic beat Rogue and I'm relieved that Maru didn't advance, not because I hate him but because there are people out there who venerates him like a God, that's so bad.

If Dark wins, Reynor should have a nice shot at BlizzCon's title! DAJE RICCARDO!

So, Serral gets to keep his final boss status since said frankly, i favor Reynor in final over Dark on pure ZvZ prowess, Dark can only rely on having less nerves to deal with.

To determine who is the best all-rounder. In SE, you can get (un)lucky in too many ways.

Were they listening before Blizzcon?

Keep your logic consistent. Everyone has been moaning since even before Rogue and Dark made public statements.

That's too bad for Classic. Was really rooting for him after the previous series, and given that it's his last WCS (right?).

I would have been a bit torn between Reynor v. Classic, but now... think it's pretty obvious Reynor is going to be the massive fan favorite!

Lewis wasn't even driving the fastest car in 2018 and the later half of 2019 season so no, not really comparable.
