Good job, Maru and Rogue. I was anticipating Maru to deliver, and he did it tonight.
Rogue & Maru fan boy. ^^

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.

Happens in a lot of competitions. 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

I bear this sig to commemorate the loss of the team icon that commemorated Oversky's 2008-2009 Proleague Round 1 performance.

Game 3 was a much better game wp by Maru


I felt like Rogue never really had a chance? 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

this could be a good point, the ro12 winners ride more momentum actually, the level being high means if you're in the ro12 you just beat someone solid in a bo5, so you arrive with more confidence and preparation for the format than the guy who just played bo3 and a bunch of them vs players who weren't real contenders

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 was what I was thinking too. That one day of rest disrupted their momentum. Happens in many sports. Let's see how TY vs PartinG will go.

My personal power rank for who's gonna win this tournament went Serral > Dark > Rogue > Reynor lol. If no zergs make the final that would be something
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Great to see Maru looking so in form! I think the match against Reynor will be a very tight one anyway. The cross-server lag probably could make a completely different game.

Cross server or not I hope Reynor vs Maru delivers

I don't think it will... 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

Both Dark and Rogue got 1st place in their groups, yet both lost to the 2nd place of the other groups.

So Parting beats TY and clem vs Zest will be very open as clem was only third in his group

Did you think this was some kind of Super Tournament?

By the way, I'm doing way better liquibeting on random BW team not even knowing who the player are than predicting matches between players I have seen hundreds of times.
