Ping disadvantage doesn't seem a problem here. Maybe he just underestimated Reynor, then he didn't micro drones well in the 2nd game before.


Or it could be that Rogue isn't particularly good in ZvZ and Reynor absolutely is.

It's Rogue's weakest match up. Has been for some time. Reynor's weakest appears to be vs Protoss although he's better in that match up than Rogue is vs Zerg imo.


I thought Reynor's weakest matchup is ZvT currently.


No only vs Clem who Reynor plays scared against for reasons I still do not understand.

He's really strong against anyone else.


His games against Dream yesterday were bit sloppy in my opinion especially Game 1 where his armies got bludgeoned uncharacteristically. That weakness can hurt Reynor in final match with Maru if Reynor didn't figure out yet.


Afraid I didn't see those games. Dream is really good in TvZ. That's HIS strongest match up from what I've seen of him, although I haven't seen nearly as much of Dream as I have of other Terrans.


Dream's TvZ is his best MU, yes. That said, him losing to DRG doesn't qualify his TvZ as "really good" though.


There is no shame whatsoever in losing to DRG.

You sacrifice the hatch but you get a natural not quite later than the other guy with more drone, so maybe it's ok?

Reynor called it a blind counter but honestly rogue looked in a MUCH better position shortly after. Because he has speed and controls map and takes WAY earlier third (and gold to boot)


Ya may you should take your own gold instead of the natural as Reynor.

Dunno, it felt like he went away to kill Rogue gold but Rogue just took his natural instead and it was to late for Reynor to apply any pressure after that and Rogue natural was only slightly faster with worst tech and less drone and no real way to prevent Rogue from retaking his gold... Maybe if he had follwed it up with a bane bust Rogue was dead because if he retook the gold?

Idk, where's Bly when you need him?

No way you can take the gold though considering how slow Reynor's speed was. Reynor barely held with queen walls at his own natural, no way he can hold both gold and natural.

I think Reynor was just significantly behind going into the early mid-game but managed to (1) kill a bunch of Rogue's lings with his bane; (2) killed a bunch of drones at Rogue's gold, and therefore (3) was able to stop Rogue's sort-of allin push and win the game.

Hum yeah good point, IDK sacrificing a gold vs a twelve pool being good just dosen't seems right to me, but maybe it is.

To be honest, Zest might have been the third best player here. Because he legit was playing very well against both Maru and Reynor (unlike Trap who sort of collapsed). Shame he had to get knocked out.

Probe just didn't suit the Group of Death dilemma.

alongside her expertise and familiarity with the Terran race helps her dissect what Maru may do

This happens every tournament that involves seeds from the weaker regions. We end up with insanely lopsided groups. Zest just happened to be the victim of that this year. I'd say Zest would be a good favorite in any of the other groups other than the one he was in.

It makes my little Terran heart so happy to see Hellion Banshee continue to get such good value in this match up. IMMvp's legacy lives on.

Maru with some excellent picks with the banshee, instead of focusing on workers he kills queens which is equally as damaging

Oh no, Maru is behind, so he's immediately going to transition into playing a 40 minute game :[
