Not a complaint, just strange. edit: ok it's there now :D My gues would be, that a lot of the tournament organisers for smaller Cups are putting them there themselves. Simply because, they need that exposure to get a couple more viewers. Meanwhile GSL has to be added to the Sidebar by the community instead | ||

Generally Dark won with the push because he killed way too many drones. | ||

Rogue lost while defended, the eco damage was way too big. Edit> I don't blame casters making this a game and not saying outright - well, Rogue's dead. But watchin 20 v 40 drones, 30 v 50, 50 v 60 was making it clear that once Dark makes the Hive and w/e units he wants he wins by eco advantage alone. | ||

Dark was just sending units Rogue's way to keep him home and Rogue had to defend himself. When the mutas weren't at home Rogue lost a queen and more drones. Rogue couldn't attack Dark unless he wanted to go into a basetrade. And he wasn't sure he would win one(and honestly I don't blame him). Rogue lost while defended, the eco damage was way too big. naah the defense was stelar, his problem was being too inefficient in the early stages of ling/bane aggression. Dark manage to be too much ahead on drones while comfortably defending. | ||

Yeah, I think the waffling back and forth while failing to aggressively expand is what caused his defeat. I don't think Rogue ever had a good idea of exactly how many spores Dark had built either, since he kept looking for weak spots as if Dark had been moving the spores around instead. Rogue seemed unwilling to fight into two or three spores and queens, but Dark had enough spores everywhere that it just took a few seconds to move the queens over. Hard to say, but I think Rogue may just have been lacking the information and didn't update his strategy adequately after continuously failing to find a weak point. | ||

He lost the game right there, too much eco damage. SC2 in a nutshell. | ||

They would have to pay not only for his skill but also his Big following from Streaming, so he d be more expensive. Also he can be a bit Hit and Miss, if he s not taking the League seriosly. That s why he partner was with DPG I believe. Also they had a strict practise regime and high expectations, that were probably to much pressure for him as well... | ||

Dark may seek the help from herO, Zest , sOs, or perhaps Zoun also for his preparation against Parting. This was the same problem for Maru in the last GSL final, and he ended up practicing with some EU Zerg. I guess Parting could do the same, especially with guys like Lambo who can really play outstanding PvZ. | ||

Felt like Rogue and Zoun had good opportunities to advance, but in the end it went to the players who just wanted it more I guess. Will root for Trap to win it all now, this seems like a golden opportunity for him ! | ||

Zoun took his Super Tournament level to this Code S, he just kinda choked in this last game; however, Zoun will hopefully have many more possibilities. I'm glad that Dark stopped Rogue and I am unsure if I want Trap or PartinG to win Code S the most; Trap probably deserves it more, he's is in top shape right now but this might be PartinG's last chance...

Zoun took his Super Tournament level to this Code S, he just kinda choked in this last game; however, Zoun will hopefully have many more possibilities. I'm glad that Dark stopped Rogue and I am unsure if I want Trap or PartinG to win Code S the most; Trap probably deserves it more, he's is in top shape right now but this might be PartinG's last chance... They should be already set, sOs vs DRG and Zoun vs Rogue. PartinG could practice with Solar by the way. Damn, I forgot Solar utmost. But, still Reynor or Lambo can be good screen partner to Parting for many reasons. | ||

Felt like Rogue and Zoun had good opportunities to advance, but in the end it went to the players who just wanted it more I guess. Will root for Trap to win it all now, this seems like a golden opportunity for him ! I am happy for either of three first timers to take the trophy. But, Dark winning the GSL trophy doesn't seem a bad at all after giving us two best series in this season, one with Dream and another one with Rogue tonight. The least favorite to win the tournament is perhaps Bunny unless he can make a hell good preparation against Trap, also the narrative that Bunny winning the tournament seems a bit off so far. It reminded me an underdog Gumiho took the trophy a way back in 2017 when everyone expected Soo during that time. | ||

But it's a tough road, beating Dark and probably Trap. | ||

Yeah, I went by map wins. So, games 1, 2, 5, 6 are worth watching (and the other two are short) | ||

I dunno man, Bunny’s never been this far before and DRG is pretty tasty in ZvT, sOs is no mug at PvP and it’s PvP after all, so I don’t think those being sweeps was a super obvious prediction. | ||

Dark and Parting both had winning scenarios whereas Zoun and Rogue kind of didn't. Dark and Rogue cheesing one another can go either way, but once the game goes longer, I knew Dark would take it, his macro is just looking a lot better than Rogue this season. It seemed kind of obvious, didn't it? Just look at game 4, where Rogue pretty much turtled up on 3 bases and let Dark run rampant. This is the anti strategy for beating any zerg, ever. It almost happened again in game 5. In fact, Rogue's playstyle this season is kind of majorly weird to me. In the round of 16 when he played Percival in the opening match, he threw so hard in the first game I was convinced he was just going to let Parting win. It wasn't until halfway through the 2nd game when he started fighting back that I caught myself thinking "Oh wait, Rogue is actually trying to win". The only way Parting was going to lose was if his opening cheese is defeated and then he gets overwhelmed before he gets a chance to catch up. Zoun did well scouting Parting's cheese at every possible opportunity, so he almost made it happen. You'd definitely argue that Zoun second guessed himself in that last game by being too careful. Had he pounced on Parting like he did in game 4, he would've won, but he got scared about losing and decided to be safe instead. In chaotic moments, whether it be cheese or fighting an equal or even slightly larger army, Parting wins. His experience and killer instinct just trumps Zoun's at the moment, it's Zoun's only weakness. Unfortunately Parting's experience and killer instinct won't help him against Dark. Dark is going to win. | ||
