i would be shocked if anyone other than Serral takes a map for Finland so... not really

Serral vs 3 not-top-right-now Koreans seems an even match.

yeah maybe, but it's not really a team competition at that point is it. i find that rather anti climactic tbh

That possibility has always been the norm for NationWars. MarineLorD won NW3 essentially by himself. But the one man army teams haven't made a final since then. So you know, if nothing else, it's something different.

Unrelated note, but without the rich geysers this map is really dumb. It just feels so gas starved. Doesn't even feel like you can play a half decent game of mech on it.


Tbf the total amount of gas on the map didn't change, so I think mech wasn't particularly good on it in the first place.

eh, sure. that doesn't mean i have to love the format. of course Serral is amazing but when the only excitement the other 2 guys bring is "will he cannonrush? how long will they survive?" it's a little meh

The build up is just slower. Of course, the map just sucks for Terran in general anyway so there's no reason to play on it outside of BO7.

Well you know, I don't like it either, but if the matches are any close at least I'll be decently entertained.

Yeah it's pretty awful in TvZ. 45% on Liquipedia, but only 37% if you filter out games between weaker players... Makes it the fifth worse TvZ map in LotV.

It's depressing that there's 4 worse ones. What are they?

Clem is probably the positive surprise of this NW. Hopefully he can retain this level for 2020 and be a relevant Terran hope.

He was very far ahead though in all aspects of the game = economy, tech, army composition. He just totally botched several engagements in a row

He botched one engagement. And it's not even a botch. Reynor's swarmhost surround was just good and clem didnt see it.

I'd say it counts as botched when you're not even attacking them but just taking a leisurely stroll into the locusts as they fire at you and block your path.

Also it's one of the most important things with that playstyle to know where your opponent is and not get hopelessly surrounded tbh.
