Disruptors are the worst unit ever added to sc2. You will not be able to change my mind.

Dark is the clear favorite in this tournament, if he stays in form he'll be untouchable.

Didn't think we'd see ling/bane on cross-server.


did u skip Serral vs Dark from literally a few days ago :0

I'm still unsure if that moment where Serral accidentally auto detonated the baneling before he died was an accident or if it was him trying to snipe lings and the ping difference making it half a second too late.

I guess it's cruel on loser's to have them answer such questions, but I'm always quite curious in such instances. Indeed hell I don't feel we get much interesting answers from how series go even from winner's interviews, we're usually left to just speculate on TL LRs and the likes.

Swarm hosts aren't even close to disruptors. They were a horrible addition, but not the same kind of intensely aggravating as the disco ball.

It really was a beautiful recovery, just calm and methodical play, it really goes to show you how much maturity the players have achieved in SC2. He knew perfectly where he was in the game.

Well as soon as I say that we're just losing 10 ling to bane

Swarm hosts aren't even close to disruptors. They were a horrible addition, but not the same kind of intensely aggravating as the disco ball.

Disco balls are amazing. I'm unsure why the devs never gave them a /dance animation where they light up like a disco ball so you can have a wee Protoss disco. Alas we are unlikely to ever see that brought into the game.

I think disruptors absolutely have aggravating elements to them but compared to WoL era infestors or swarmhosts they're incredible units

I'm sorry but how are these casters saying "We say Serral is the greatest of all time, but there is always the asterisk of Dark" as if Serral somehow has an obvious better career record than Dark.

Koreans literally have to do twice as much as foreigners to get the same credit.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Reynor not paying attention there could have lost him the game. ZvZ is such a knife's edge match-up.

There's a short sweet spot where turtling styles actually made for great Starcraft. We had that with BL/Infestor too.

You have Protoss players like HerO of the Liquid variety flying around with prisms and harassing everywhere and trying to pick apart the Zerg in straight-up macro games, and the Zerg struggling to defend from the death of a thousand cuts.

This sweet period where there's a cool contrast in styles rapidly turns to absolute suckage when Zergs figure out how to cover the holes in their style and the Protoss run out of tools in their kit.

That's the meta that almost got me to stop watching StarCraft .
I bear this sig to commemorate the loss of the team icon that commemorated Oversky's 2008-2009 Proleague Round 1 performance.

2016 and 2017 don't count since Serral wasn't good then
And 2019 doesn't count since Serral would've obviously won if not for Reynor

Reynor is still up in supply, looks to be a little ahead.
