It just occured to me that Maru has always been called the 4th race, but that there's no need to call herO the 5th race because Protoss is completely dead aside from him.

u gotta be afraid when the players who are perennial balance whiners and/or over-humble actually start being confident in interviews

HeroMarine was the Zerg Cabal the entire time. Quod erat demonstrandum.

Would love to see MaxPax in this tournament, I think he has a very good shot at going deep, better than Clem and HM.

If Maru wins this, he is GOAT without questions (except for certain players' fanboys of course). But how is herO's PvT thus far? What is his winning chance against Maru if they meet?

Are we going from the worst to the best possible timeline (Maru vs Hero)? What a turnaround!

As someone who only watches GSL and some of the bigger international tournaments, this MaxPax sounds like an urban legend.

nothing super interesting except that he preferred to face herO instead of TIME since TvT has too many variables

And even that I feel like was said with a smirk

Well we have 3 Elite Zergs and 2 very strong ones.

Maru killed Solar and Ragnarok, the two weaker Zergs who he has VERY one sided records against.

Ragnarok killed Serral in a ZvZ snipe.

Reynor who was overconfident got tilted and threw a series against a defensive Terran Oliveira who was playing out of his mind.

And Dark just didn't show up in his best form. He was struggling all tournament especially vs Protoss so herO destroyed him.

The only two big surprises are how Reynor and Serral went out and then you remember that both of them got beat by falling to their big notable weaknesses and it makes sense. Reynor has lost series he should win exactly how he did against TIME this weekend and this isn't the first time that Serral has been knocked out in ZvZ either.

It all adds up. It was a very lucky break for the viewers that things lined up so that each Zerg met their end against one of their big weaknesses.

Except for Dark. It's a shame Dark just wasn't feeling it this weekend. This might have been his last big tournament before he goes to the army, so I wish he could have had a better time of it.

Rough on RagnaroK, seems Maru really does have his number, that makes it 7-0 in their last two series?

I mean, even on Wednesday it was an extremely real possibility. *checks Power Rank notes* .. top of the Tier1 championship players teeing off.

(not discounting TIME out though... yet)

Okay thanks!
I think herO has a good shot but I will be rooting for Maru. Maybe Oliveira can do the magic happen once again?

Well, Serral left a won game and Reynor threw against Time. Though obviously terran is still competitive but I don't think anyone doubted that considering early-mid game is largely unchanged and that's where terran usually won anyways. That doesn't mean the changes to TvZ lategame aren't bullshit.

There's no way Maru wins this, that would be a too perfect story. herO will destroy both terrans, well it'll be a cool story too.

To be fair a lot of the balance complaints are PvZ where its only herO nuking dark right who already lost to neeb and looked shaky to Creator.

Serral thrashed hero and lambo beat Classic, have we seen any other top tier PvZ this tournament?

Apropos of the last cast, I have one random pet peeve about ZG and it's that she frequently says "dedicated" when the almost everyone else would use "committed" (as in "committed all-in"). It's not a big deal but I notice it every time.
