Wasn't a thread up so here it is. This is the most competitive group of the tournament so far with Solar, Cure and herO all having a close competitive chance against one another. Ryung feels like the odd one out here. I'm taking Solar and Cure to advance out of the group due to Solar's overall strong play in the last year and Cure's excellent TvP.

Cheating Prime Terrans.

Is the english afreeca stream useless for everyone else too ("Stream has ended" etc)? And with the obnoxious borders on the youtube stream they are not making it easy to watch the GSL live anymore..

Is Solar seriously about to go out 0-2 because he doesnt want to make any Hydralisks?

I liked Ryungs approach in the early-mid game but he sticked with Cyclones for way too long. They are trash at this stage of the game

wait is he still winning

I guess this is how the balance council envisioned the new Cyclone to be used

Solar clearly having an off day. He's suicided his army into Ryung quite a few times that last game.

Both games Solar just carelessly move his Broodlord army in front, get surprised and lost too many units even before the fight.

I didn’t follow the new patch, how is Ryung beating Solar? (Didn’t see the games)
Mech becoming too strong?

This Ryung vs Solar match(and the last group of GSL as well) exemplifies very well for me how weak is the argument of "if Serral had competed in GSL he would have won several". GSL is a very harsh tournament where upsets do happen frequently, that someone is favourite on paper is never a guarantee here.

This build is so dumb - I'm sure I've just had a particularly skewed sample size but every time I see this it feels like it just works

Exactly. On paper, however, he should have crushed Ryung

But I don't think that's what people mean when they say "GSL is a very harsh tournament." They mean that because of preparation even underdogs can bring absolutely incredible games and push anyone to the limit. They don't mean like people are expected to/tend to play very poorly at GSL - that can happen at any tournament.

Poor herO, PvT too rough

Both are true. On paper the same people will win all the time and there will be no variance, and at the same time what you have said.
