Like he went 0-2 1-2 vs DRG in DH Last Chance to get eliminated in the groups, he's dropped BO5 to Elazer in TSL, BO5 to Lambo in DH EU, etc. He's definitely top-tier in the match-up, but there hasn't been unbeatable ZvZ toptier since like Nestea. TvT-Maru is probably the only transcendent mirror player in the modern era. | ||

It's possible that might deflate Reynor's energy, that's something that can happen with competitors when their rival gets knocked out. Something to consider, but I just find it hard to believe that we'll have a defending champ, Serral no less not playing in the playoffs tomorrow. | ||

Him making the ro12 would be a good story, but beating Solar or herO will be tough. A tournament with only 2 Protoss remaining is good for him. That's his weak match up. If he can dodge Dark, herO, Maru and Reynor in the playoffs he might be able to go even further. | ||
