That Lineup looks absolutly stacked
Top 4 Zergs are there
Top 2 Protoss are there (not realy Sure who comes after herO and MaxPax currently, Neeb? Astrea? Trap? Showtime? 2 of them are there as well)
For Terran we miss Maru and Clem I gues but Heromarine and Bunny are decent standins I gues..
A little diapointed, that it s only one day, having the Ro16 on Saturday and Ro8 onwards on Sunday would have been amazing.
There are so many great games that aren t going to be casted now

Is Trap just completely giving up on SC2 now? Haven seen him play in anything for a long time.

I guess we'll see soon if he suit up one last time for the WTL playoff and GSL season3, but it sure seems like he's taking a (well deserve) pre-military break

At least online you could argue Maxpax is a top 2 Protoss, though I don't think we should put too much stock in online results. Second best Protoss is really hard to say right now, maybe Creator? I think Trap is probably better right now than we're giving him credit for (unless he's in total pre retirement mode), he got ro4 in the first GSL this year and just hasn't played anything since his narrow elimination in season 2. Zoun is also pretty good but always seems to look good in elimination without a super deep run to show for it.

Showtime and Neeb are still better than MaxPax IMO, and Astrea is also putting out great matches

MaxPax PvP is clearly No.1, then his PvT has also been improving, beating top EU Terran quite regularly. He still have some problem with KR Terran with their timing push and cheesy strats but so are other Protoss not named herO. Outside of herO, there isnt a clearly better PvT player than MaxPax at the moment. And his PvZ is a bit inconsistent, but he can play the wide range of opening, kinda similar to how Zest played in the previous patch. I think Neeb/Astrea/Showtime are a bit more consistent then MaxPax in PvZ at this moment but I still see great potential in him. So I think its not out of mind to say that MaxPax is the 2nd best Protoss in the world, unless Trap flipped the switch and become Trap of 12 months ago.
The problem has been that big tournament are back offline and MaxPax isnt there to show his prowess, so nobody can really see if he has improved his game or not. We dont all watch EPT Open cup, sorry.

the champ is here as well!

No replay pack on Matcherino?;;
|
2000$ out of 5000$ for first Place with only 375$ for top 4 seems insanly top heavy
But more SC2 > less SC2 I gues
|
Nice to have a tournament that you can watch from start to finish in one day once in a while. Thanks for organizing this. Will definitely be watching and spreading the word.
