Anyone wants to figure out why Clem has been struggling against Korean Zergs? What are the Korean zergs doing that the EU zergs are not that Clem is not doing well against them? I know recently Serral beat Clem, but Clem really just beat all the other EU zergs, like Reynor.

I think build order rotation is a big part of it. Clem is so fast and so good with widow mines that he's near unbeatable with ling/bane once he reaches a critical number (you can see this in the game Serral lost in the finals, he was keeping up and microing well until Clem got like 10+ widow mines and then his trades were terrible.) Even when Zerg play more standard against Clem the threat of different openings delays him getting to that point.

Ping probably plays a role too.

Reynor looking at Rogue's play in game 3 vs. Clem and asking "What is this shit?" was pretty epic.

Maybe Reynor just played poorly and Lambo played realy good?

wow, is Rogue just on auto-mode for the first 3-4 minutes of every game? Same exact damn build against the same troll build from Clem? BCs flying around and he made ling-bane, double evo, 4th Hatch and late Spire? Like seriously, why even try if you are gonna lose just like that.

Why Classic has been back for several months, and he still play with the composition from years back? I know he was great with them, but making nothing but Immortal from the Robo is just not cutting it.

(Reynor looking at Lowko's chat.)
RotterdaM: "Hey, people are commenting on your casting."
Chat: "I like Reynor's casting, but not his observing."
Reynor (leans into monitor): "... Can I ban them?"
