Byun just got dropped by Zoun, now its likely becoming a 3-way fight for the 3rd place.
Sickk, although I have to miss the games it’s great when things go down to the wire. And thanks to all you fine LRers for the updates.
If anything the last group was the real group of death, or at least the most tight and cutthroat.
This group is absolutely stacked, well sort of, but I think there’s clear tiers within it.

I don't mind sarcasm, but I guess that first two parts will be more about that. Also from my view it all seems so much forced.

The fact that it says "DEATH, AND THE WORLDS ENDING" above the ticker bar for the entirety of every break on the B stream doesn't seem very sensitive to me.

Wtf, how did Byun lose 2 -0 so fast against Zoun?

I didn't get to watch Reynor vs Clem but what I saw of Maru vs Clem he looked pretty normal to me. Clem was always an underdog against those two going into this group. His recent match history vs both of them is not pretty. Maru in particular is on an insane streak against him. Fair enough. He just looked super solid early on and then took some unfortunate tactical decisions but I might be misreading lack of experience as nerves. With the caveat that I haven’t seen the games, damn work! Clem’s absolute best period he was doing about the same as, if not slightly worse than Serral and Reynor’s regular/‘slump’ level. He’s absolutely excellent but he didn’t translate some excellent TvZ clinics in WCS to the international tournaments, or round out all his matchups, especially TvT to the same degree. I wouldn’t have eaten my shoe if Clem made it out in top 2 spots, but assuming Reynor brought his A game to Katowice I think Clem fighting for that third place is about his par if he can play his best. No mate, Clem during his best period(right before April to May 2021) was having Serralesque win ratios but somehow like Cure's online domination in early 2020, no major tournaments were being held at the time.
That’s a rather short period.
Although I’m not dissing Clem, I’m more praising/contextualising Serral and Reynor’s level.
Not to mention the top Korean talents. Clem was/is very much on the threshold of stepping up to that tier too, I just don’t think he’s done quite enough yet

Casual 45 minute break on the B-stream, interesting schedule.

Yeah.... given the giant war and terrible human suffering going on at one of Poland's borders.

Zoun's good man
I only saw game 1 but it was a rather funky, pheonix opening into double stargate pheonix with a robo and 1 imortal+ 2 collosus, then 2 (or 3?) carrier then a bunch more pheonix with range a couple more carriers after that. He just kind of out macro BuyN and killed all his anti air

ok history is going to be made in this TvZ

In game 2 Zoun proxied a gate and Byun fell apart to 3 units.

I can never pick Zoun, his non-mirrors seem to fluctuate wildly from ‘oh that’s a cool style nobody else does’ into him losing, or he’s capable of taking out almost anyone.
And when I think he’s better at PvT than PvZ those flip, or vice versa.
Great player to watch as long as you’re not either a big fan or a gambler

It's weird, in my mind Zoun has kinda slotted himself into the hole left by Hurricane. Which I'm not sure is actually accurate.

When dying to Maru, always check if his Depots are raised before gging  .

That is Maru, man. Really astounding player.

LOL
I did not expect Maru to crush Reynor that hard in their first game.
