GG reynor yeah the second game probably broke something in his confidence, the rest was good but nowhere good enough to put Reynor in danger - especially in some of those larger maps, Jesus they're hard to play in TvZ | ||

What changed, exactly, to allow zergs to expand so much faster, while not weakening their army much at all? I haven't followed SC2 closely enough in the past 3 years to give a proper answer, honestly. Probably a combination of map pool, current meta (zergs take their 4th really quickly and stay on pure ling/bane a long time, so they don't need a lot of gas and get tons of minerals which means they can afford extra hatcheries easily), and zergs just figuring out they can actually get away with it. Though it clearly doesn't work on every map - Dragon Scales was a good example of that. | ||

Otherwise while I feel the right people got paid for doing this event, one still can have somewhat mixed feelings for the origins of it, I guess. | ||

Vipers. Ok archaic maps but Mvp’s games against Stephano are a kind of glimpse as to what that looks like. Aside from vipers existing for actual engagements, you can’t skirmish or push fast enough either. Cure basically kept Reynor’s creep from pushing into his half the map almost the entire series, hard to do with mech. Battle mech can pull it off but that whole style seems super figured out | ||

Even if Cure could have won g2, Reynor still would have won 4-2. what a level of zerg he is playing, Cure played really good and looked kind of hopeless after the second game. congrats to Classic too, what a great run he had. | ||
