with how this tourney went it will probably go to time now lol


Not likely, a pattern for SC2 tourneys is someone way overperforming and then losing composure in the finals


At least its TvT, that seems to be his best matchup

I think it's white noise headphones they use as part of their soundproofing. All of the players have it, just he isn't taking his off when he is interviewing.


it's prolly just literally an earpiece so you can hear Smix

it's actually very hard to hear anyone on a stage setup like that (host is talking too low to hear their regular voice over the ambient noise, and speakers for crowd are not set up in a way that ppl on stage can hear their amplified voice properly)

It's not just amplified, but when she's talking, it goes through the PA about a second or two later and when you're listening or speaking, that can be awfully disorienting.

Just woke up how have the games been? What VODs am I watching?

I kinda understand that Chinese and Koreans don't know exactly where Poland is, but Serral couldn't locate Poland? That was just sad.

honestly those plays vs herO were waay sicker than Maru's, like when Maru plays, he is afraid, playing to not lose, but Olivera plays to win

and there is a reason for that, the last time Maru tried to "plays to win" with lots of aggressive build against herO, he get smashed in the GSL Final.

Not the same patch though

TIME winning this would be the biggest upset run in sc2 history right? Nothing even close comes to mind, especially considering the prestige of this tournament.

So with TIME in the final, the chinese viewership must be huge now right? Could very well be the most watched Katowice Play-offs bracket ever.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Any Chinese scene fans wanna share what TIME said?


Thank you to those who came and watch me live.
Who knew there would be a day I make finals?
I know in china, there are many staying up to watch me. This road has been too tough, I don't know how long it took me.
I will not give up in the finals, I will CONTINUE TO FIGHT.
Please don't fricken hack, its just a game.

The only run that compares to this one are Byun's legendary runs back in 2016.

If TIME wins, this will be the best single tournament run in SC2.

The star aligned for Maru this tournament. He had the easiest path while managing to dodge all the top dogs.

If he doesn’t win against TIME, it’s safe to say the kid will never win a world champion

I do like TIME underdog run. Will it have a happy ending or fail short like the rest of the Cinderella stories ?

Do we need to talk about the Terran cabal right now?

TvP on this patch is terran favored, I've been saying this since it was released

Which change has had any influence in this semifinal?

Oliveira just crushed through battery overcharge. It was very clear in game 1. In game 4 the battery overcharge did keep the disruptor alive. But especially the game 1 move I don't think would have worked if overcharge hadn't been nerfed. Not that I think the old overcharge made the game interesting or fun.

I think herO would have lost anyway. The zealot warp-in on the other side of the map was a bad move, and Oliveira capitalized on that.
My life for Aiur. You got a piece of me, baby. IIIIIIiiiiiii.
