Zoun will be replaced by 3rd in groupstage Lambo as he is not able to continue due to covid-vaccination side effects. He mentioned that before the tournament and I (NarutO) was willing to either see him drop out in GS1 or GS2 or bet on no heavy / no side effects. Obviously my "fault" and a bit unlucky.

Plan will be:

Zest vs Solar
Serral vs ByuN
DRG vs MaxPax
Lambo vs Clem
LR1 - 1
LR1 - 2
WB Semi 1
WB Semi 2

That sucks for Zoun. I hope he will recover soon.

The Koreans are doing well this tournament, which is surprising to me. Though it wouldn't shock me if Serral ends up winning it...

Why surprising?

This is pretty much the lineup I expected for Ro8. I had Rogue instead of DRG and group A was a bit wonky but the others would have been my LBs

If Zoun was out, shouldnt it be logical to have Solar face Clem and Lambo face Zest per the seeding from the group? Unless it was not possible because Zest already play Lambo in GS1, or it will mess up the schedule of Solar who has to play first, but Zest vs Solar match is the first match anyway.

Zoun's just too sick to be allowed in this tournament

I also feel like we should have Lambo-Zest/ Solar-Clem, but if it's simpler for everyone involve I don't imagine Zest care and Solar care to much.

r bad timing of Zoun... he had a great run, but understandable, vaccination reaction lasts only one day but it can be quite nasty.

Bit harsh to call it a throw by ByuN. Making a mistake or being blindsided by an attack is not really a "throw".

I think that's like the 7th? 8th? game this tournament that the very much winning player ended up losing this tournament?

We're reaching enough of these for a baseball training compilation video

The game seemed bizarre with Byun kept making uncharacteristic mistakes and Serral's indecisive making situation, not teching to other units other than Lings/Banes.

Byun play the very weird style of passive-aggressive, like making lots of unit and camp out while not really expanding at home neither. And somehow that force Serral to make the weirdest response as well, what a crazy series so far.

Serral's engagements fill my Zerg heart with joy.
