Must be tough, I think Rogue was there and ready skillwise, but somehow he got disrupted, nothing went his way in the first two series (and he made bad mistakes, don't get me wrong). Anyway very very excited for Maru - Reynor now. Might be the format. Giving the group winners an extra day off doesn't seem to be much of an advantage right now, could actually be throwing them off a little bit. | ||

Being annihilated kinda frees you up mentally a little bit. You often see in tennis players getting crushed in a set or two and then really start firing once their opponent is serving for the match Almost always ends the same way though  | ||

The Mutalisks were keeping Maru from crossing the map to kill him, but that's just a delay. nah he was completely dead after the hellions, but he made a great effort and nearly clawed back his way into the game, which was still a good testament of his skill | ||

Yeah actually kinda agree the layoff might've done them more harm than good. We'll see if we get Parting and Clem W's later | ||

That one day of rest disrupted their momentum. Happens in many sports. Let's see how TY vs PartinG will go. | ||

Reynor plays an horrendous ZvT style compared to Serral and cross server TvZ doesn't really deliver historically. But I still hope Maru can manage to win and qualify for the finals, he has a decent shot | ||
