Exactly. Rogue had no gas to do the actual scary things, Zest had everything he needed to come out super far ahead there, but he just panicked/was confused at wtf Rogue was doing.

I think the key is confusion, zest brought two probes and semi walled at rogue nat with the gate so he could fight the drones in a better position, the fact that didn't happen mess up with zest

But it didn't even matter, he had the game on lock up until the point his wall was a few seconds too late and the stargate got unpowered. It only came down to the late wall.

Hence, confusion make him slow to react.

Please play some macro games Stats.

Edit: Yay, a stargate. And a second stargate too.

Whoever wins this match might be in a worse state than whoever gets 2nd in the group. 1st plays Trap, while 2nd plays Dream, who is a much weaker opponent IMO. However, given how stacked this group is it's probably best to not risk it.

Honestly kinda surprised to see a Korean go double stargate phoenix. Of late it's been much more of a sorta common build in the non-Korean scene. Stats played it well though.

Well that was really cool for a while and now Stats is dead. I can't believe blizz is silent on the state of PvZ.

Those nydus worms were a great bluff to buy time for the hydra/bane transition. I wish Stats had just sat back, defended his fourth and gotten storm though. Felt like he was in a pretty decent position to go late.

Ah, too bad, that was definitely winnable for Stats.

Maybe he shouldn't have tried to fight mass Hydra without storm.

Or been much more aggressive and hit before the Hydra Bane transition.

He chose the in between option which was the worst one tbh.
