Would be fun and spicy if MaxPax knocked out DarkTBF for some reason Clem never delivers in the international tournaments, so I expect disappointment. | ||

Interesting, just off reputation I never would have thought this to be possible. However cross server certainly plays a factor but isn't the whole story. Also it feels like both Reynor and Clem are kind of going through a similar slump. Reaching the top is tough but staying there is even harder | ||

Reaching the top is tough but staying there is even harder Clem felt virtually invincible for like 10-12 months in TvZ; that's really hard to achieve in any match-up. It's more a surprise that it happened at all, more so than the fact that it went away. | ||

Solar did well against him even in that period, beating him at last IEM Katowice and 3-0ed him in another tournament. I think his streak against Serral and Reynor was mainly due to them being stubborn vs him and dying in the same way. ofc he was and still is an excellent TvZ player | ||

Yes, and in addition as soon as he started facing other top Korean zergs like Dark and Rogue he regularly lost. I think we need to revise the narrative he had invincible TvZ for a year, and rewrite it to that he just had Reynor + Serral's number for a year. Of course you could argue his TvZ streak just coincidentally ended right as he started regularly facing top korean zergs, but I don't think that's the explanation. And yes ofc agree he has always had (and still does have) very excellent TvZ | ||

Anyway, Maru seemed better control of killing the randomized nydus pop up in the Hardwire map compared to Clem in this matchup. For sure. When Maru and Clem are attacking, their pace is pretty comparable. But it feels like Maru also knows how to defend with that same pace and skill (and generally react a bit better to the game state), where as Clem seems to struggle when he's not on the opponent's front door. The aggressive KR ZvT styles really throw him off and play to his weaknesses. | ||

To put it another way, foreigners are very one-dimensional whereas korean players actually have depth to their playstyle | ||
