I don't trust anyone else to deliver Isn't he weak to the exhaust style Cure can definitely play (although not as good as Maru)? Clem also usually does well against him. And if Solar can 3-0 Serral he can also beat Reynor. Disagree pretty hard that Reynor is this much of a favorite, honestly my money would be on Cure | ||

Solar vs Reynor is either 50/50 or slightly Reynor favored in my opinion To me those are esl weekly cup number 248 odds, but 150 k$ on the line with Reynor in the chair I don't think either Cure or Solar are likely to hold their composure. | ||

I don't think reynor will win but to your credit reynor is the ultimate big tournament player. He knows how to peak and peak hard, and stay composed while doing it. Three world championship finals in a row is no joke | ||

This tournament was an overall upswing for Protoss, but Classic got a very bad draw. Watch game 4 of the series a few times, I think you will feel better. herO holding the most disgusting 5rax+tank push possible by Heromarine should be inspiring too. | ||

Not much in this case. The games were mostly decided by the builds they chose. Props to Clem and Solar for studying their opponents. | ||

Best epic post I've read on TL in a while! Seriously, at this rate, Protoss might as well be erased from SC2 or competitive play. Hoping a victory for Clem or Solar (a truly tragic almost SoO-like Kong figure) - especially since they took out favourites Maru and Serral. But very likely, we'll end up with an anti-climatic mirror final (ZvZzzzz) or Reynor just demolishing Cure. | ||
