This is why I like Pig's casting, he knows lots of really interesting details like this. | ||

This is why I like Pig's casting, he knows lots of really interesting details like this. he said he doesn't use control groups the way other Protoss players do. As in he doesn't have a setup like main army 1, harassment units 2 etc but always switches it around edit: Did you turn the sound off after the first part of his statement?? | ||

Like I was fully ready for him to get dumpstered by Neeb but he actually made it really close. Now for Maru to somehow lose... I had faith at some point in g5, but yeah that was barely not enough. In the end, his ZvP didn't look bad at all this tourney. | ||

Clem vs herO - best Terran outside of Korea (outside of Maru really) against the alleged best Protoss in the world, both have something to prove here. Clem's never done too hot at a big offline event, herO still has to show that he can deliver big time outside of online events in his new groove. Dark vs Elazer - that's a ZvZ story for the ancients at this point. Dark's probably still upset about the times he lost to Elazer. Creator vs Neeb - Creator has already beaten 2 of the top 3 NA players, will Neeb be just another addition to his collection?Both guys with a pretty surprising upswing this year I have to say. Maru/Heromarine vs Reynor - Maybe Heromarine gets a chance at revenge for Katowice? A chance to prove that he was the best Italian player all along? Or maybe we get what the people want to see which is Maru turtling on ghosts for 30 minutes to win 2 games and then lose 3 more because it's 2022 and he still can't wall off his natural properly. | ||
