Haha it was even more stupid when the medivacs would cross flight paths to unload hellbats and whatnot. I imagine the pilots waved at each other, ‘dropping some hellions?’ ‘Yeah all I’ve been doing this week’
Yeah that Slayers Blue flame hellion build was absolutely brutal

Just looked at the prizes and wow, Serral must be feeling pretty bad right now

Is the finals worth watching?

Thoughts on like, the games or anything?
I’ll have to rewatch a bit. Seems Zest brought this really optimised build to the table, and ran out of steam with it/made other mistakes too?

Nope was garbage imo but only lasted like 20 mins total prob

I think we can all agree that after this finals the most urgent need is to nerf cannon rushes.
Oh, and another nerf to observers.

Based on what, exactly? Surely not h2h nor Serral's performance against Zerg in this tournament.
Very disappointing final.
|
Zest seemed way to stoic in his build + a bit lazy scouting = 2 really dumb map losses vs bane bust and roach ling allin. on Zen rogue scouted his proxy just in time - unlucky. on world of sleepers he basically had no plan at all to deal with the SH/Nydus and just hoped to win the game outright I guess?
Rogue did play pretty well, but Zest kinda handed him the win imo.

Mules op. Orbital starts with zero energy.

Still OP. You sacrifice 5 scvs to get a mule. And it happens automatically.

Supply depot that can lower, what's that about, the zerg and protoss need to make sophisticated sim-city and hold position micro and terran can just put building, does that seems fair to you?

No one can beat Rogue's Bo7 record now.

Only for the humor. It's not long if you really need to kill a few minutes. Rogue knew what Zest was gonna do and just kinda stomped him with aggressive stuff.
