I think it was a decent call, even if it was wrong this time. yeah I don't get why you seemed to be angry about that, if you had forced me with a gun on my temple to bet on the winner I'd have said Reynor (and I'd be dead now after having heaved a sigh of relief at many points in g5) and I'm pretty sure I'm far from the only one | ||

Also, ShowTime 2-0 Serral as well. Protoss has always done decent against Zerg in general before, like Zest taken down Reynor and Serral. The issue is the Grand Final of the tournaments, where Zerg just flip the script and straight up smashing the Toss. Other than Trap for a certain period last year, that has been the general direction of PvZ. | ||

Just Zergs taking it easy at the moment, at the next world championship they will practice and destroy everyone again  No seriously, Protoss really seems a lot stronger in the matchup, surprised what a simple Queen change can do. | ||

Are you really surprised that nerfing the Queen has a big impact on the match up? The Queen is such an overutilized unit in the Zerg roster (not really the players' fault just a design flaw in how Zerg is designed in SC2) that nerfing it a ripple effect across the whole roster. | ||

I mean all three of them are pro they made a carreer playing against Reynor, and also Astrea, quite a lot. If the feel even down 0-2 that he'll win (which they didn't say at all btw). Surelly they are well placed to think it's a reasonable statement? | ||

The first part but not sarcastically. If there was a $100k to first place tournament a month from now I'd bet 90% on the top 4 Zergs, 5% for Maru, and 5% for everyone else. The top 4 Zergs, especially Rogue/Reynor, really don't put as much effort in when there is less money around. Serral didn't even show for Valencia. | ||

Valencia has more than double the prize pool than HSC. Serral missed that one for other reasons. | ||

I missed the cast, perhaps it was over the top but I can’t judge that by my own sensibilities. I was refreshing the score and saw Reynor was 2-0 up and went ‘ah it’s Reynor he’ll probably claw it back’. Don’t think that’s unreasonable at all. Astrea’s an excellent pro but Reynor’s up a tier to the extent he’s pulling out wins against credible pros with his own Protoss in big tournaments. Great scalp from Maximum Angle, certainly wasn’t expecting to see an all-American showdown at this stage of the bracket! | ||
