The battered and beaten Protoss spirit is oddly hard to break.

Solar looked as confident as ever, will be an interesting ro4. Cure had a good run but I don’t see him beat Rogue seeing how their games looked in code S. New map pool though, who knows? | ||

Solar is also considered as one of the best Zerg in lategame, and his problem was how to get there safely, normally he died to either proxy or minedrop or helion runby. Will be interesting if Solar vs Maru would be full of lategame this time around. | ||

Either way. Not doing good on my bets this season at all. Probably going to be another Maru vs Rogue final. | ||

Obviously they've been underperforming for a long time in terms of trophies but they've always been fine in terms of ro8/ro4 representation and making it to the finals. For the last few months they've just been doing outright atrocious on every metric besides GM representation. There were 3 Protosses in the RO8 though. So the representation is OK-ish. In the winter finals we had 2 Protosses in the RO8. KoB is kinda tough considering the top Protosses there were Classic and herO who are still not their top tier pre-army state(although herO is aiming there fast) | ||

It would actually clarified why did he go full derp after winning the first game against Cure. He has some nice 2nd places at high tournanents so there may be a nerve problem. Well, or maybe I'm projecting :D But imagine the pressure... that must be big. | ||

Maru doesn't give a fuck to be the only Terran hope and in the end, he can always show towards the C boys. Zergs are laughing with their world championship streak of 5 different players, 4 still active. It would actually clarified why did he go full derp after winning the first game against Cure.

I've never considered Trap a "champion quality" player because of his nerves. He lacks the killer mentality that Rogue, Maru, and Dark have. Parting had it. Zest had it. They had their own issues sure but I never doubted their nerves. He just isn't the kind of player who I would want to rely on to carry a race when its other players are struggling. | ||

But knowing the game is not so young anymore I can see the concern. I feel like a lategame upgrade that allowed faster warpins within range of a nexus would be interesting. Probably not feasible... I get the sense there aren't any P players who are really trying to push boundaries any more. Maybe they feel their isn't enough incentive this late in the game's lifespan? I'm not sure. Hoping Maru can make some magic, or a Cure win would be great for him. | ||
