Glad to have this tournament, but I think it would be a lot more hype if it was a winner takes all tournament with no prize pool except for a seed into the round of 24, even if the level of play would be a lot lower.

I think Clem should annihilate Zest here but what do I know, I predicted RagnaroK to beat TY

There's no rhyme or reason to Zest's performances. Anything could happen.

This is such a Zest series

This is a such a "Zest sucks but he's also great" game. So, a typical Zest game

Zest really missed his timing being up +2/+1 for 90-120 seconds. But then again Clem was entrenched so maybe even with the upgrade lead it wouldnt have mattered, gg

The last big engagement was so incredibly favourable to Clem! I didn't believe he would have won the game.

Lilbow's new team photoshopping a 6 year old photo of him so he wears their jersey vs ESL using a picture of TY from the 2 months he was on TSG

TY is kind of the comeback king in TvT lmao, MarineLord also did well vs him early/mid but couldn't finish him off. Impressive decision making. Maybe online TY isn't that bad in 2021?

Not sure why casters are harping on Clem's decision to gg. 3 CC's vs 2 at that point and a worker advantage

TY was on 1/1, stim, combat shields and 3 CC while Clem was on 2 CC, no +1 infantry upgrades and concussive shells instead of combat shields for some reason.

I'm sure Clem has won games like this on ladder but you can't fault him for not trying to against TY.

Excellent all around map from Clem there. Just looking at his gameplay, I can't really tell why the top Korean Terrans and Protosses keep cutting him off in major tournaments, but oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
