To be honest, Clem has made a couple of mistake like missing upgrade and getting himself trapped by the Fungal spell way too easily, maybe because he just play too much of a high pace that he cant manage everything. Maru was doing a better job in WTL with roughly the same style.

Edit: And Serral thought that he could play the same style of Roach-Queen Drop as before, the problem is the new Cyclone is menacing against this. They can kite and pick up unit all day long against slow Roach/Ling.

The theme of this Bo5 really was "who needs upgrades?"

Showtime keep committing to Archon/Immortal despite knowing its BLord and mass Lurker was painful. He could have made 5-6 Disruptor or even Carriers with his tech. And with that army instead of countering, he fight the units head on.

That was a victory I thought only Dark could snatch from the jaws of defeat

yeah, he kept bleeding Immortal one at a time, if he could mass up 7-8 Immortal then he could obliterates most of those Ultra.

MaxPax not playing well per his high standard, multiple times hes taking a 4th base against the Terran that still not yet having a 3rd running. And die to the 2 base Terran push because he didnt have enough army to defend.

Honestly: I'm glad MaxPax got knocked out, otherwise we would again have gotten a LC-qualifier for EU...
Also happy for Showtime, feels like ages that he showed up like that. Hope he can keep it up for Atlanta

^ Yeah, not to be a butt or anything, but honestly don't think he should be allowed to play and qualify if he knows he's not going to attend. It just creates problems.

Funny enough, this hasnt happened that many times recently, mainly because Reynor was the one who got knocked out early in the bracket stage a couple times.

Yeah, it's actually only been twice out of the last 7 EU dreamhacks that we got this top 3 soooooo....weird criticism to say the least.

After 2020, this is only the 2nd time these 3 are in the Top 4 together. And the top 4 you would expect (these 3+MaxPax) apparently didn't happen at all - ever.
Feels pretty interesting to me, it is actually hard to go that far in EU. Of course, if we talk about winning, we basically can stop with Serral and Clem...
