It's close to 3am on a Monday and the event is not broadcasted on SCBoy's channel. Most of us will be checking the results in the morning. | ||

there were more "dream battles" that could have happened (Maru vs Hero, Maru vs Reynor), but those seem to disappoint as often as not. we'll see how this one goes I guess. | ||

On the other the most insane cinderella-story run in IEM history, also playing what seems to be one of his top matchups. there were more "dream battles" that could have happened (Maru vs Hero, Maru vs Reynor), but those seem to disappoint as often as not. we'll see how this one goes I guess. Yo I'm inconsolably happy. I told you I would be. | ||

I think the viewership numbers are decent, probably like 38K + with YT but they would definitely be higher if it was Hero and Maru. | ||

You can tell from how herO played there that he was fully expecting to hold this position, it's not like he was caught offguard by the attack. He was caught offguard by the attack being successful. If this attack isn't successful, the colossus is out for the next one, and Time lost 16 workers or something. | ||
