Even though it's going to be another zerg weekender win as usual, at least now that Dark and Serral face each other in the semis, the probability of the grand finals being a ZvZ is small. Great tournament so far though

Maru has a chance to get his first non TvT victory against Solar or Astrea 😛 I would still bet that Maru reaches the final as the bracket is quite favorable to him.

At least with this format there's 1 more day of it being a 3 race tournament, lol.

Knockout bracket's matches being a bo3 make this format extra weird. Showtime or Shin can be out after playing 2 games total, that can be like 15 minutes of play time.

I wonder. If one did have some kinda ‘unbeatable’ pocket build do you drop it in the phase of the tournament where you’re playing for a Ro4 seeding and still have extra lives, or save it for when we’re in sudden death fighting for the tournament proper?

If you have an unbeatable build you 1000% drop it in the 2nd vs 2nd match. The match is the difference between top 4 (80k) and potentially top 11 (20k). Plus Serral might not even play another terran.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

I think you drop it in the upper bracket finals. Otherwise, yes, the 2nd vs 2nd.

This key handing+crushing ceremony seems unnecessary brutal. What is with that?!

Solar made very light work of Astrea to kick the day off - thought we might get more of a scrap

I'm a fan of triple elim for much a big event but it seems really odd that there's no seeding.

herO played tremendously and won 3 matches but SHIN gets to come in with extra rest and without showing any builds.

herO had a chance to go to the final 4 in the previous days. Three lives against one of Shin’s.

Ragnarok's defense just seemed a bit lacking. Even when he did clear out the army, it wasn't very convincing. Then he rolled a billion banelings into a meat grinder and had no bank.

I think Seltzer or someone said they're going to somehow use the crushed keys to form the winner's trophy. Might be cool, depending on how it will look.

This nydus queen meta is very silly. Multiple nerfs to both nydus and queens over the years but the strategy comes back in the next big tournament anyway.

Terrans need to get better at scouting the timings if they're all gonna lose to this kinda stuff

Ragnarok did it twice... in game 1 he ran banelings through a funnel into a meat grinder, and then he did the exact same thing in game 3.

With win rates above 65 % in a matchup Dynasty and Crimson should have been cut from the competitive map pool mid season. I'm all for trying out new stuff but we also have to admit when something does not work out..

That hold from Reynor against the Hellion/Cyclone pressure was as close to perfect as it gets. Reynor is looking really sharp this tournament.
