Were the player cards published somewhere? Serral has everything highest excluding attack and speed. herO has the highest attack rating nad I'm curious who got the highest speed. Clem or Reynor?

Maru vs Serral is today? Woah. I thought we were done for the day. Seems Maru has a big advantage. He had a brutal series vs Oli, but he had a long rest.
I thought the same. It would have been even worse for herO who played Cure->Reynor->Serral->Maru.
Should have added another day.

Could it be that most of the game was fun, but the game deciding big fights kinda lame? I mean, a clump of corruptors swimming on top of a clump of mommaship + whatever protoss went for is pretty crap, but if it's like this match, with spellcasters being the main focus, where it's infestors + vipers vs HT + mommaship, it's pretty fun. All the action all over the place makes for a fun game. If it’s just those comps posturing and dancing around static D it’s nae so enjoyable.
Fair. I remember that Reynor vs goblin in WTL. A full hour of boredom.
E: It was goblin, not skillous.

Zero players are eliminated today. 14 players will be eliminated tomorrow (5th-18th place decided).
Many of whom in Bo3s for, some reason.
I hate to be a negative Nancy (actually that’s a damn lie) but it’s really bizarre having so many great games that ultimately don’t have much at stake.
This may be my least favourite format that I can recall for an SC2 tourney :p

Agree completely. The games are hyped up beforehand (you can win this, to play this, to get to top 4), but the reward for too many of the games that we watched today will be completely irrelevant, although some of them were absolute bangers.

Its going to be funny if Oliveria/herO loses 1st round bo3. Win 3 bo5s just to finish last.
Oliveira may have trouble vs Classic but herO should be fine vs Spirit

I really really really hate the format. But it has given us absolute bangers. I just think the Bo3 knockout is going to be a massive letdown. I reckon I'll just skip most of tomorrow and tune back in when we're down to the Ro5.

Its bo3, the potential of upset is much higher.

Worse than 100k winner takes it all single elimination?

I really wanted ZG to highlight this after Artosis introduced them as the 2 best players.

Maru keeps going the greediest builds in tvz he can find and keeps getting punished. Damn
|
Pffffft. How does Serral keep doing this against Maru?
|
|
|
If you ask Maru what he was going to do if his opponent going to Roach bust him at low economy, he would tell you to build 3CC and then figure it out later, lol.

Damn, forgot about that one. At least it was a done as a gimmick. The coinflip tiebreakers in regular Dreamhacks kinda feel worse
Is this gonna be another Serral sweep against Maru?
|
Roach bust your way to the most anti-climactic 3-0?
|
Serral cancelled ling speed?! Why? What?
Hm. He is going ling speed now, so it was to get +1 earlier. +2 timing seems likely.
|
This looks like a repeat of their previous match where Serral was allowed to rush hive with barely any pressure put on him.

You can cancel if you're planning to open roach and stay on them for a while.
