On paper I favor herO against every player other than Maru so I'm still optimistic he can make a good run. I am not optimistic that this Zoun vs DRG series will be any good though.

First game already a not-banger I fear you might be right.

It took him forever to start killing stuff. Imagine if soO was actually ready for it.

Yeah — perfect scenario for Maru — getting away woth CC first vs pool first & blueflame hellbats vs no roaches no banes
Maru was just too cruel for Soo who just came back from military service, just like he did against herO last year right after coming back from military service.

Yeah, his defense against the hellbats in the first game wasn't bad, all things considered. But losing two games to 4 unseen mines each time, kinda hurts.
Zest is right though. herO is the best all-rounded Protoss right now. And, Trap no longer held the title after dominating for so long three years back.
herO chance are very good considering the last 2 matches for him are PvZ. Zoun might need to beat Maru to advance, while Maru will seal his deal if the can beat DRG. I think we will see the Terran and 2 Protoss moving on.

If it's a 5 way draw and everyone plays everyone again we can get another 5 way draw
Maru - herO series was played at a very high level and was a ton of fun, both do not happen that often at the same time, so if you missed it do yourself a treat and go watch it !
Inspirational strategy used by Creator in Game 1. But, he got a bit relaxed in Game 2 causing the lings to burst in unprotected. In Game 3, he looked sloppy losing oracle, probes and adepts in the beginning while Ragnarok took advantage with German taxi before Creator hit the timing.

I dont think Dark is favored over Maru or herO, but he can clean up everyone else with this kind of performance. Hes becoming like Rogue, look sub-par in WTL but just smashed people in GSL when needed to.

He has somewhat become preparational player, I guess. Not winning by mechanic alone but also good strategy and game sense as well.
Late PvZ game is still an issue for Cure. Making a tone of siege tanks when he knew Vipers were coming. I think he should make more blue-flamed hellbats and sniped the overseers before targeting brood lords just like Maru did.
Rage Creator is scary sometime in such a way that the production needs to take a break. I think even Rogue didn't show emotions during offline matches (like he used to in online tournaments).
And they said koreans are emotionless robots :o. Poor Creator though, seems like he can't control his nerves properly :/. This season 1 run might have been a fluke after all

I think he is kind like Cure, getting runner up for the first time, then not performing the best in the next season afterwards. After a year, he will successfully claims the trophy.

even this ro10 finish is better than he would've been expected last year though (or at any time during the last 10 years) so I'm not too upset

Oh yeah for sure, but I think he almost expect to make it out after his good result, hence the additional pressure on himself
Yeah, I think hes tilted beyond reason after that loss to Ragrarok. He didnt build a single spotting pylon for the drop in game 1 against Bunny, and die to 2 drops pretty much, then keep rebuilding and canceling the 4th base. And in game 2, he didnt see the 3rd CC being built, knowing an attack will come, yet again have no spotting unit for the Terran army moving out. You just cant win PvT with such lack of discipline.

It works if the set up and micro are done very well, Maru could have killed A LOT more with his Hellbat timing, but he messed up the micro. The reason for that is because Zerg nowadays delay everything tech-wise, normally they just have Queens and Lings to defend in the early game.

Hellbat is kind of dumb unit when there is no medivac around or not yet teching up to blue-flamed.
The mistake Cure made was trying to force Dark playing on low drone count. Somehow Dark playing like a God when hes not tied down by doing too much economy.
waaaat no one told me the games were today... I really need to adjust to that new system. Already saw that apparently Ragnarok is the new bonjwa, but I need to catch up on the games !
Btw, they have announced the player roster for DH Valencia. Because Rogue, Trap and Time/Cyan couldnt play, Maru-Byun-herO will take their place in the 3rd group stage. Also, in the Open Bracket are missing a couple big names, aka Serral, MaxPax and Cure.

It’s not the new system but because of DH Valencia conflicts, they had to change the schedule! And yeah RagnaroK played very well overall, he killed Creator’s morale

oh yeah ofc, silly me. I'm into the Ragnarok - Creator series, poor Creator
Ragnarok just shattered Creator's morale, that was hard to watch, and Bunny buried him mercilessly. Very tough day for Creator, it'll be hard to bounce back this season.

Is MaxPax really missing when it's entirely expected that he won't show up at any offline event?

Also Cure can't play for the same reason as Rogue and Trap. O L D.
Bunny just updated on his twitter that he got Covid and cant return to KR now, that probably means he will have to forfeit the Ro10 for GSL S2. Good news for Creator if they remove all Bunny-related matches.

Man that sucks for Bunny. Hope they can find a way to set things right...
I think if Hero figures out how to beat Maru he may actually have a realistic chance to win a GSL.
Dark seems like he may have already figured out how to deal with this new PvZ meta, but the last series between Dark and Hero was kind of odd, Hero looked off that day, like he was playing alot more defensive then usual.
And of course, leaving the natural open. I get it, the pros are only human too, but if you leave the natural open to a guy of Dark's caliber, do you even deserve to win?
