Balance-whining is the only reason this game is still around, who cares about anything else? Please elaborate more and in detail how Zoun and Neeb, two of the greatest gamers of all times, could lose to scrubs like Serral and Lambo, which would be impossible usually. That is what everyone is here for, right? On an unimportant sidenote: Lots of fun games this HSC and two great PvZs today. Really feel like the only thing sucking the fun out of the game right now is Ghosts, but besides that it seems in a good spot. Complaining about me complaining about balance and then saying ghosts should be nerfed. The unit that is the only reason Zerg actually didn't win a few events in the last year. I think you just want Zerg to win absolutely everything. | ||

I feel like in 2018 he was mechanically dominant and clutch, from 2019-22 he was mechanically dominant but not that clutch, and now we're seeing a Serral that looks clutch but not mechanically dominant. I still think Clem probably beats him though. I’d say in general yeah, although Serral’s span of having that clutch factor I’d say was a little longer. Granted I completely bastardise the general concept of being ‘clutch’ to include showing up, bringing your A game and absolutely stomping opponents. If Serral decides to go against what he’s shown most the tournament and not start slowly and grow into a series I’d give him a shot against Clem if they face off, but no way if he donates a few sets getting his eye in. | ||

My prediction for the finals: Serral beats Astrea 3:1, but loses to Clem 3:1 in the first BO5. | ||

I mean to be fair he said fun, not balance. We’ve had periods of (relative) equilibrium in PvZ with sky toss and good lord that sucked. Personally I find what Maru can pull off more awe-inspiring than super entertaining. From that point there was a good longish period where Clem was ascending to TvZ godhood and trading blows regularly with Serral and Reynor by just pushing and microing like a lunatic, Reynor was starting to develop heavy lurker styles and adjacent to that Cure had some brief success with super mine drop heavy approach | ||

Good job by Astrea, he really needed that game, if he can get good start to his games he should be dangerous. | ||

I made a minor comment about Ghosts, who are just not really fun to watch...though I don't like watching terran in general, so that can be that. But if you are so invested into balance-whining, maybe just switch to AoE 2/4? There Civ-balance doesn't matter that much, so you can finally enjoy watching a tournament  Man, Serral really throws games hard this tourney. That 2nd game is one he usually would never give away in a million years. Even if he gets passed Astrea (which is still highly likely) I don't really see him win against Clem, who doesn't play amazing at all, but just super consistent | ||
