I usually watch GSL so I don't know the dreamhack format and this is a real question, but I see lots of regions listed and none of them are Korea. Whats going on? How does this work?

Pretty nuts Elazer has a decent chance to go out of the tournament when he won the first 3 matches of the tournament. Apart from his loss some other results actually went his way yesterday meaning he can only go out if he loses 0-2 and Drogo wins 2-0. But considering elazer plays heromarine and drogo plays Ziggy its still very possible

Clem is in the part of the bracket that Serral/Reynor will drop into, at least one of the top 3 will miss out on the season finals.

and most likely this will be Serral again ...

I see it the other way round. Can't imagine it beeing Serral this time.

Reynor isn t in top Top shape at the Moment.
He has a lot of real life stuff to juggle next to Sc2, as of this Post

Glad Serral won, but it feels like since 2019 the series between Serral and Reynor have been pretty lackluster game wise. Still fun because of the rivalry and drama but not many memorable games.

Serral has a good shot at taking it all now, he'll be heavily favored in the winners final and Clem likely has to go through two tough TvTs to make it to the final.

Why the hell have terrans become so bad at killing observers like this one.

I guess it's because they're cutting corners on the eco side to maintain the pressure thus they have less spare energy on their CC.

ZvZ in general has declined in quality in the last year or two, turn out mindgames are pretty good.

Has it?

Feels to me we got many a quality series when people tried, and usually failed to straight up better Serral in straight up macro slugfests. Least that 2018 thru 19 Serral.

Which gave some great watching for sure. Dragging things into the realm of mindgames adds a ton of intrigue and other factors to consider, the quality level is really high still just tends to be less enjoyable to watch.

Y'a that's what I ment, the level hasn't drop, it just feel a bit less enjoyable to watch meta wise.

Silly casters thinking Heromarine had a chance against Serral.

Heromarine is a great player and Serral is less invincible than he has been in the past but come on, Heromarine has shown very little indication of being able to take out Serral or Reynor in a high stakes series.

Casters forever hype up Gabe as if he’s a peer of a Serral or a Reynor.

He’s a fantastic player but he isn’t that. He can beat them sure but he’s got to play out of his skin and have them maybe be at 90/95% of their top form.

Give the casters a break, though. Big G is king in all matchups except vs top zergs. The foreign scene has always been pretty much exclusively dominated by zergs (Naniwa, Major, Thorzain, etc, can hardly be considered domination). Let the casters help us believe that terran is a race available to foreigners.

I feel strongly that this is false. We usually are very quick to point out that it's "top three EU - clem, serral, reynor, and Heromarine is the Gabekeeper who fights for 4th with Showtime/Lambo/Maxpax ". In open cup casts, in DH casts, so on and so forth.

Rotti and I have just recently been casting HM's TvZ's and been very impressed, that is the honest truth of it. Serral also did not look like he was in top shape in his ZvZ (obviously different match up, different opponent, but there were macro mistakes) and I personally was looking at the first game to see if he was in top shape for TvZ. He was, so he won.

On August 15 2021 03:28 WombaT wrote:

Fair, I haven’t really had an issue with your casting of Heromarine matches either.

Everyone has their bugbears, I find Heromarine matches, especially if he’s playing a good Korean it’s borderline unlistenable.

If it’s a reasonably comparable talent like say, Special, be it in GSL even with Tastosis who personally know the guy, or elsewhere it’s, generally fine. If it’s Heromarine it’s ‘Big Gabe’ memes half the time, talking about how great he is to the ignorance of his opponent’s chops the other.

Maybe it’s just me and my particular sensibilities.

It was okay other than game 3 which you can safely skip. And yes, you can be at least milldly excited for the Serral vs Clem finals. Both of them performed well in this match up.

It doesn't look too good either, after what Clem just did to Maxpax.

Yeah. It's always interesting to me when a player simply crushes others in a mirror match-up, since the loser can't blame it on balance.

how were the games in the final? the score makes it seem pretty one sided

Marines are a stupid unit balance wise, don't feel like the opponent can really do a thing against them when the'yre played at this level and on the other side a player like heromarine is just lacking that absurdly high "minimum" level micro which is a necessity to claim any major title as terran.

Game one Scarlett vs. Astrea was the most interesting back-and-forth game I've seen so far, today The ending was really chaotic and fun to watch too.

Indeed. Excellent scenario too.

The game was really back and forth. It's cool seeing that end condition, where Protoss has carriers but can't make interceptors. Reminds me of IJN at the end of WWII.

Game two was also excellent. It's already the best series of the day.

On August 16 2021 07:34 DarkPlasmaBall wrote:


It wasn't a throw. Scarlett wasn't significantly in the lead. The late game compositions were basically stalemates, and then Scarlett eventually lost the main fight while also being killed off by a hit squad at the two hatcheries at the 3 o'clock position, so her massive bank didn't really matter since she didn't have enough hatcheries anymore.

A second win for Scarlett! Would be 2-2 in game score without the free +1 advantage!
