 Nice attention and thanks to Mousesport for the support they gave SC2 throughout the years! (now we just need to convince SCBOY to allow mercenaries in WTL  )Edit: Wooo! Ravi in the house! (and ZG are delivering us some prime HSC downtime content) | ||

Some funny moments in the Reynor/Skillous/Lowko cast of Serral v Showtime Yeah, the commentary during this series was hilarious. Reynor is such a premium troll. Him shaming the audience for the premature clapping was particularly comical. Another golden moment was when Rotti hyped up the series Serral vs. Spirit, "These nerds are eager to play!," just as the camera panned to Serral having a good yawn (before proceeding to complete his 10-0). | ||

please remember to send in your nominees for the side-contest till the end of the show today. You can do so by writing here, on Reddit, or tweet at me (tweeting directly would work the best). I'll try my best to keep an eye on it. You guys have a great last day of HSC23. Let's enjoy the last day and the matches. :-) | ||

But yeah even if Reynor looks kinda shaky overall lately, I think he has the ability to 3-0 Serral on any given day (Serral can likewise always beat Reynor.) | ||

Well there is only Dark left as good zerg in Korea while there are several stronger terrans atm, not surprising he feels that way even though that’s not the reality. | ||

I think the choice to play biomine over tank plays into this. Much harder to get comeback fungals or kill medivacs with hydras when the Terran army doesn't fit inside a fungal and can zone Less a TvZ thing and more a Clem's choice to stay on mines here IMO. Let's not forget that Clem already made a major comeback even being competitive in that game. EDIT: Original post made less sense in words than in my head. | ||

uThermal has been playing only meme strats for like how long, and he won 2 games and almost won another one? Best (as in "fun") series is either Showtime vs ShaDoWn or uThermal vs Mixu. Best cheese is either GuMiho or uThermal. Factory on Mixu's main was hilarious. | ||

But that was a strong defense while 20 drones ahead. That was an epic baneling connection at the start. | ||

There were a few good games, but the series overall were super one-sided. At least the casting was great! My thoughts on it as well, it wasn't even anyone's fault that the games were kind of sub par stomp fests it just happens that way sometimes. Some tourneys have a bunch of down to the wire match point sets and some just have rofl stomps /shrug The casting was excellent indeed really liked it, especially Serral's. | ||

Overall, I think the lack ot top Terrans making its a bit more boring to watch, because PvZ/PvP are pretty linear especially among EU players. Clem winning the HSC by smashing TvZ would have been a great story though. | ||

Fell asleep during the finals (not a snark) so I might have missed it, but what happened with the donation goal, HSC 24 dates and the special prizes ? (Best cheese, etc) Looking forward to the HSC XXL edition | ||
