There was one and only one premier tournament Z free finals, omitting the NA tournament for obvious reasons, and you call that "struggle", in this case it's because there's a big problem on the side of the said race.

I mean they struggled in gsl But yeah "struggle" in relation to their previous success :D


We have to go back to Classic vs Gumiho to see such a cataclysm.

Which was only a year ago, not that long ago.


There is 3 races, and 13 finals in a row had a Z, and some two. I think you can do the math and in a balanced thing it shouldn't happen. And it's just from a consecutive point of view, since 2017 the stats of victories, of different winners, of finalists are totally absurd in favour of the Z race.

Btw, did EJ really got permabanned over this stupid bet ?


Yes, disasterclass.


Do you then hold the power to have him unbanned?

And could you use said power for extortion?

Thought there was a chance ZG's team could go 3-0 there with uThermal winning his last 4 series against Armani. But going for a build that dies to roaches again and then seeing roaches, ai tough

Could only be used for extortion if Ej_ wanted to be unbanned.

I absolutely think they have the best lineup for getting 3-1s but they don't have as strong of an ace as some of the other teams and that's a big deal in this format

True enough. It's always sad when an opportunity of power abuse is prevented like that.

Dream and his trademark Thor pickup micro

This map is a good reminder that balancing through map making is a bit underexplored in sc2 (not saying its super balanced, but it messes up with stale metas)

With the way that the matches are going with Benny vs War pigs, I think Benny can actually win 3-1. Serral will probably win vs Hurricane but DRG, TY and Zest should win their matches

oh guess it's looking alright for warpigs now that Serral can 2-0 (wouldn't be shocked if Hurricane steals a map.) Hope DRG gets a match against Serral at least.
