Looked dead in the water. Suddenly pull a massive counter attach out of nowhere. Creating chaos everywhere. Turned a standard macro game into a extremely scrappy disaster. Somehow win the game against the best TvZ player in the world. Never change Dark. Haha, yeah. That's Dark in a nutshell. I genuinely find it somewhat baffling, though, that it still works so frequently, and even against the best players. Like, at this point, it's pretty much a given that once or twice a series, when Dark finds himself behind, he will try to derail the game into chaos and go for some wonky base-trade. He did the same thing against Cure, if I remember correctly. I'm not quite certain why his opponents so often do not have a proper response prepared. I'm not saying I know what that response is, but there must be one and it will doubtlessly be of use against Dark. | ||

Did anyone see what Serral vetoed? Vetoes were only shown for a very short time on stream earlier. Gets a cancel on Serral's 4th with hellbat push, casters missed it. | ||

Vetoes were only shown for a very short time on stream earlier. Playing it feels very good for terran at least (as a low level player), not quite sure about pro players, but the third is relatively open so maybe it's not as bad for zerg as it seems at first glance. | ||

Unexpected as well after Katowice getting it right this year finally I thought that lesson was learned. Maybe there's some reason that it couldn't be helped in which case no hatin' but that doesn't change the sense of anti climax you get (or at least I do) when only having 3 matches. And then final series become "who will make fewer mistakes" compeition instead of "who will make more cool plays or prepare more cool strategies". I know which one I personally prefer. | ||

When did ovie drops get so popular in high level tvz? Every second Serral is mining that base is one second closer to Serral winning, as Wardi is pointing out now | ||

I was gonna say Maru 4-0 over Serral would grant us debates for months on end, but you are right, Oliveira 3-0 over Serral, and then Maru 4-0 over Oliveira would bless us with the still greater collective meltdown. Edit: Not gonna happen, though. | ||

If they start from quarter-final on the final day 1) It's going to be a very long day, especially for the player coming from quarter-final #1 2) You can't really prepare for the potential grand final opponent | ||

And then final series become "who will make fewer mistakes" compeition instead of "who will make more cool plays or prepare more cool strategies". I know which one I personally prefer. It's just one BO5 more for the players. Besides you really only get true preparation when there's a week between matches like in GSL, Which is great to watch, I agree with that. | ||
