Nothing pristine from any side and that is probably a nice way to put it (you could feel the pressure hitting the both of them hard at some points), but a lot of fun. Yeah there were the most interesting so far today. A bit frustrated with Vindicta's fear of Nina, I think he could have won the series if he was more confident. | ||

I was pretty sure he had tricked her in the last game with quite an amazing multi-pronged attack, but he ended up getting ahead of himself and butchered it ; quite a shame because I would have liked to see a g5 between them. Otherwise yeah, I agree Vindicta took too cautious an approach, but I think he will learn quite a lot from how the series went | ||

Those are clearly the top two tiers of EU sc2. Only Heromarine could have switched places with one of the others. | ||

Yeah I was thinking the same thing early today as well These are the clear top 8 in EU. In top 12 and further down it s a bit messy with uThermal, Gerald or Vanya underperforming a bit to what I expected or DNS punching way above his usual weight though E.: is it just me who has this fanfiction, that right now Showtime is practising with Elazer and MaxPax with Lambo? It would make perfect sense in my head at least | ||

But for real, I don't know if Max Pax is the kind of guy to do 1 on 1 practice, he seems a bit shy (on the account that no one has ever seen or heard him). | ||

It's the non-Korean scene in general. Only there do you get tournaments (e.g. 2019 WCS Fall) where almost the entire tournament could have been predicted from the start by WCS points alone (some bracket randomness did mean that Heromarine as number 6 did prevent Showtime as number 8 to make the top 8). This level of stratification is pretty boring. | ||

I recall I made some stats for myself back in 2017 I think, and the different top 8s were made up by 12 unique players over the 4 WCS tournaments in that year | ||

I really have no idea how there's so few upsets in the WCS/ESL proper events. It feels like the player who's 70-30 favoured wins 90% of the time. | ||

This level of stratification is pretty boring. Well, its improving continuously though. Remember how Serral dominate everything in 2018 and early 2019? Then Reynor jump out and challenge Serral in 2019, and then Clem stepped up to fight both of them in 2020 and now we have MaxPax raising quickly through the rank. I think its pretty exciting comparing to before. And to be honest, I dont think the KR scence will be that much more exciting where Rogue/Trap/Maru will probably always be in the top 4 minus any major upset. Then we get the rest of the players fighting to that Ro4 spot like Inno/Cure/Zest... | ||
