Getting strange Reynor vibes, for no particular reason. Think whoever takes that semi wins it, and Maru’s slightly less scary cross server.

Perhaps the meta has indeed shifted and the balance of power has moved, I’m still conditioned to expect a Protoss to lose to a Zerg in a big tournament in a bo7 after years where it basically always happened.

Please win Maru. If not him I hope one of the Toss can beat Reynor.

Go go Reynor and Zest. I hope zest can win the whole thing as he is probably heading to the military soon.

PartinG would be a great story: the 2012 Battle.net World Champion coming back and winning a similarly big title nine years later.
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

As a Maru fan Zest scares me. He has been challenging conventional TvP wisdom that once stim and +1 hits its time for Protoss to defend and endure. Zest has been on the map, killing Terrans when everything suggests he should not.
Reynor will probably be hard too.
Has foreign StarCraft hit rock bottom?

Maru > Reynor
Zest > Parting

Maru > Zest

Will Parting study Astrea's builds to prepare for Zest?

Also, I hope someone will make a highlight of Nathanias laughing like a dolphin. I think this fact is important enough to be on his liquipedia page.

Well, I largely prefer watching pvt than pvz and I'd say most of the community would agree.

pvz is kinda annoying rn. its usually double stargate but zergs dont like playing vs that so they just do the same queen hydra allin. if they play a normal game then its usually a 30 minute game
