Cure has had some good results against Zerg recently, if he can bring some of that form to the studio he should advance over GSL Solar, especially since Solar has had only a few days since TSL.

Cool build by Prince, but this just shows how greedy top zergs can be. When you're most likely 10x the player your opponent is, just get overlord speed

The second game was dope, but the third game was meh. Did Prince forget the overlord vision when he warp in the adepts? Then, although he might not know Dark produced lesser drones, still he needed to split the adepts badly.

Yeh, kinda feels like every terran unit performs at least decent vs roaches in a straight up fight, and they are immobile.
Meanwhile banes counter units they don't even counter.

Well, it wasn't that different last season. He barely scraped by the Ro20 last season too, and then massively stepped up in the Ro10.

I really don't like lurkers once ghosts are out on the field in good numbers, they can't chase the ghosts so you just get poked to death.

Dark want to show that he can beat lategame Terran tech with Lategame Zerg tech, and its not pretty. Rogue and Serral would just smash lingbane all game long.

So, basically Terran shouldn't let Zerg taking up gases.

They can't make more banes, lurkers, vipers or infestors. That is a key for victory.

Terran dominating GSL this season, 5 Terran making the Ro10 is great, seems like an effect from the map pool.

Edit: GSL could make a Ro10 group full of Terran.

Cure will deny Maru the G5L by very temporarily ending his TvT dominance in the finals, before losing a BO5 to him 0-3 in the next DH / super-tournament / etc.

Dark deserve to get eliminated the way he was playing today. Seems like he want to look "cool" with build and tactics rather than trying to step on the throat of the opponent.

It look like a Zerg unit cast a "confuse" spell on to the Protoss players and make them think that Adept Glaive is a great build.

Tbh unless one of them has a group stage implosion/ends up on the same side of the bracket it's hard to see how we don't get another Maru-herO finals, they're far and away the best players left. There are some people left who can be scary in bo3s so it might not be inevitable.

In my heart I hope Creator or Bunny finally win though.

Good for Maru, one more player who can beat him out

Tbh unless one of them has a group stage implosion/ends up on the same side of the bracket it's hard to see how we don't get another Maru-herO finals, they're far and away the best players left. There are some people left who can be scary in bo3s so it might not be inevitable.

In my heart I hope Creator or Bunny finally win though.

Yeah a bit sad to see how weak the player field has become now

Well, EU scene has been like that for the last 3 years or so. Its only fair to see KR facing the same thing.

Surprising result ! With Reynor and Dark out, Z looks out of contention for the title. That should allow interesting developments (or another Maru - herO finals ^^).

Rip to a lot of LBs lol

Losing dark so early does damper the rest of this gsl season though. Like others said it does seem like we are likely to get another maru herO final

I wouldn't be so sure of Maru vs Hero. Cure looked pretty good today, and Solar can play pretty well sometimes. Also, we should never count out Bunny.

Is the result that surprising though?
For some reason Dark looked very shaky in the ro20 and got beaten by Zoun, but the other opponents were not strong enough to really abuse the weakness of Dark.

This time though, Dark was not as good as usual by just a tiny bit, but Solar got over his ro8 curse and played like the SSL champ he is, while Cure finally looked good in TvZ again.

Without Rogue though, losing Dark is painful for zerg fans of GSL. Still, maybe Solar can make a deep run?

I liked the DT build of Prince, but his adept play looked very lackluster compared to Zoun who showed better after play several times, splitting them, actually doing damage, etc.

I am flabbergasted that Cure went 4-0 against two of the best Zergs in the world. His TvZ looks practically Ryung level at times, especially when he has to play the late game.

Actually, the more i think about it, the more it seems that this is just the PERFECT season for G5L. With 5 terrans, 2 tosses, and 3 zergs, there are a bunch of match-ups that Maru is heavily favored in. In fact, the only threat to Maru is Hero imo, but there is no guarantee that Hero makes it to the finals given that Byun, Bunny, and even Cure (if he plays well) are live underdogs against him.

Byun even recently beat Hero 4-2 in a bo7 they played suggesting that making it to the finals is far from an inevitability for Hero.

What about RagnaroK 2022-GSL he always came to Ro.6? maybe he can now shine for zerg?
btw.:
if hero/maru have black out in the next group stage and don't advance, will the tournament be more interesting? because it will be hard to tell who is favors?

When's the last time Dark went out this early in GSL? I legit can't remember. Seems like most players get eliminated in the first round from time to time but almost never Dark.

There was a time period in 2020 where Dark keep losing to Innovation in the group stage and did not make it pass Ro16.

Probably a coincidence, but this season's format seems to have more upsets than usual (Rogue and Dark bombing out at group stage, Maru failing to advance from a rather easy RO10 group).

Not a fan of another Zerg champ, but I really hope Solar goes all the way. The guy really deserves it!

wasn't the first round back then though. In fact he received the PartinG award in 2019 for 10 consecutive ro16 finishes and I don't think he got eliminated in the first round since then, so he probably had an insane strak going

I'm not, watching his play he's hitting timings an using the maps better than anyone else.

His control/micro leaves a lot to be desired but more than makes up for it with positioning and army comp and transitions.



If Maru is able to adapt the earlier and heavier tank/ghost incorporation then I feel like the matchup will start to look hopeless from the Zerg PoV.


The creep spread did feel a little lackluster from both Zergs, perhaps just wanting to have the extra transfuses.
I may appear to be an emotionless sarcastic pos, but just like an onion when you pull off more and more layers you find the exact same thing everytime and you start crying
