Don't blame the patch when it was clearly the skill gap between players.
Why so serious?

What a strange strange day! I was looking forward to the different TvZ planning and match up but... wow, it was kinda anticlimatic in the end, true to GSL

I feel like Terrans are getting a bit complacent these days? Everyone is running to a 3cc macro opening, no one really want to do a two base push anymore? Although of course it might just not be viable anymore

I remember just past couple of weeks when the top Terrans were doing BC openings, then it dropped off, then it feels like not many try it again (we had 2 in 6 games I guess, but really not that effective in either)

Not sure what else to do but macro-ing doesn't seem like a good option now huh

If TY is in the same shape/form when played against DRG in the Ro16, he's gonna get stomped. I can see Rogue or DRG crushing him.

Yeah I'm hoping for the good TY obviously. But TY has a good record against Rogue and ZvT favors zerg less than ZvP.

But the other semi's probably gonna be Parting - Trap anyway so

implying stats loses pvp funny

So, Rogue will burst everyone to the final and claim the throne once again in order to make his Bo7 series' record unbroken.

Lol that Innovation vs DRG score was unexpected.

Innovation must’ve played like total poop. I’m assuming to enable Terrans to balance whine and get even more powerful

All his practice for today probably involved loading full bunkers into CCs.

It's always the skill gap when Zerg is winning and yet win Terran over performs in a single event for the first time in 3 years (and no Maru winning GSLs is not a Terran over performance when every other Terran is doing terribly) it is immediately the strongest race according to both the majority of TL and 90% of Reddit.

Why do ppl never count Maru!? He has feelings too you know!! =/

And i mean come on, Dream was by far the weakest player in this Ro8. Inno vs DRG was a surprise though, I give you that

Genuinely thought that we'd have a TvT semis, I'm pleasantly surprised . DRG was my favorite KR zerg ever since he came back, and it's great seeing him do well! Hoping for DRG vs PartinG finals

I just watch the games. Domination of DRG but more brutal than expected. ROLF game 3 by rogue. It looked like he was reading the TL threads and decided to meme us all with SH vs bio in golden wall.

There also is a difference between having 2 players in ro8 those going into the ro4 vs having 5 players in the ro8 and 3 players in ro4, not saying i don't think is pretty good overall, but that is still a very valid reason to say a race is pretty good right now.

What a series by DRG. I'm so so hyped for him, also appropriate that we will have a Zerg finalist with this season being the HOTS GSL.

There are actually ar least 7 people in the year of our lord 2020 who think drg will beat innovation. He wont even take a game. This could be the most lopsided round matchup in history.


A shockingly accurate prediction depending on your interpretation of the grammar.
Now witness their attempts to fly from tree to tree. Notice they do not so much fly as plummet.

Dream is not as weak as this result shows. He didnt play particularly bad, its just that tryhard Rogue is an absolute monster, top3 in the world player. He slowly picked him apart in the first two games and than using a meme build in G3 to prove his point that Dream is not really a RO4 caliber yet. But I would not count Dream out he earned his spot fair and square and if he was up against an easier opponent he could have showed something.

I was much more surprised by how dominant DRG looked against Inno. I had a hunch he could win, but that he would out-macro and outplay Innovation that significantly? It looked like some random 6k Terran got Serral in the ladder roulette lol

I mean not too long ago people were complaining about how this patch was terran favored and that Blizzard needed to do something, having shit performance in Ro8 in both GSL and DH right after that is rather humorous.

DRG looked insanely strong today, but the last ZvZ's I've seen him play weren't even remotely as impressive as his ZvT. I'm worried for him in the Ro4

How to abuse SH and maps favoring Zerg. Pretty much is what happened in the last game. Slowly tearing Dream apart with SH.

I'm really asking myself why ints are not free while locusts are.

Even Maru has been playing passive and trying to out-macro Zerg. Is there something the pros know that we're missing?

Looking more like a PvZ finals now
