No astounding play from Reynor knocked Serral and Maru out here. Perhaps uncharitable but it was no Reynor brilliance that had Maru donate a map at match point with a terrible build and awful mistakes at Katowice when he made his first WC. Serral at his best is as close to bulletproof as we’ve seen and even he drops sometimes, but when he does hit form it’s often an imperious stomp. See Maru in GSL Reynor I feel the stars have to align where he both hits his peak form, which is way above his regular and he gets a bit of luck along the way. He also makes group or whatever equivalents exist a little harder as he’s just not as resolutely consistent Yeah, that's pretty much how I see it as well. | ||

He’s 9/10 at basically everything and I think he makes better build choices in a tournament like this than Maru, who is similarly complete but slightly better at everything but the aforementioned | ||

When he hit peak form, he wasn't just better than everyone, he was better by enough of a margin to make everyone else look bad. Not that he had that form more than a dozen times over the years, but so it goes. | ||

At Katowice for example, he faced a Zest who’d already shown all his funky builds in PvZ to even make it there (see Wombat’s LawTM) His dismantling of Maru when he first sought the G5L was a masterful example of series planning though for sure. Rogue’s a great for sure I just think that stat is a silly stat | ||

Cure looking super strong, he might have a shot vs Reynor after all? | ||

in 2020, Patch 4.12.0 Tumor changes : "Armored" attribute removed. "Light" attribute added. Mainly done to help hellions to deal against creep, hellions should also benefit from a decent DPS against Queens (which have no tag armor), actually their Hellions DPS against a 'none tag armor unit' is less than worker DPS....... (?!) So buff hellions : 8 + 6 (light) to 12 + 2 (light) i.e +50% damage against queens, small impact on heavy armored units.... | ||

Helions are fine, they work well for roasting workers, marines, reapers, lings and banelings. | ||

Which is exactly where Cure has the tank Cure has done more homework than Solar about this then! Super fun game so far | ||

Hellions already fry lings, and if they’re more effective vs Queens with a stronger attack that AoE it’ll make the early game TvZ a complete mess | ||
