Zest should be able to adjust to uThermal unless he get mentally brocken by today defeat in GSL qualifier.. if Special shares the replays of today with uThermal that might look differently though.. I still Don t belive in Traps PvZ, so Soo to the Finals is actually my most confident pick, eben though I see hin as the weakest Player out of everyone left here  | ||

Zest has been also very crisp. UThermal has been really impressing me with his form lately, but Zest is best. I keep wanting Trap to be the new Jin Air guy... It's possible but ZvP has always been Soo's best matchup (since going to T3 is pretty much entirely optional in the matchup). That one's kind of a toss up. I'm actually gonna go out on a limb at bet on Trap. Jin Air has to be frustrated at being overshadowed by DPG, so they're probably practicing hard again. | ||

Would have loved to cheer for soO by displaying a crisp Afreeca Freecs flair on my profile though. one might have thought that TSL5 would be a great occasion to update the list of team flairs  | ||

I like Tods analogy of 2 boxers with no guard just constantly punching each others face. | ||

Any given unit could be busted in a team mode but terrible 1v1, theoretically. I fully understand it's hell to balance and hard to make work, but it still feels sad | ||

I mean, siesta implies a 2-3 hour long game. This cannot possible be bad. | ||

But I do think something needs to be done with the mass disruptor interaction as well now that liberators have less range. | ||
