herO is playing unbelievably well - so calm when unexpected things happen and super smooth with his decision making

I don't watch too much SC2 but this mass tempests (I usually see mass carriers) seem to be an innovation to me? Looks like the players saving all their innovations for this tournament?

herO beating Serral in the finals would be the ultimate redemption for Protoss. Please don't ruin the dream, Cure

How tf hero does this? I think if he manages to down Cure he has a chance to win this, we saw his PvZ and even Serral barely made it. Damn I'm impressed.

Honestly, as much as I like Cure, having herO in the top4 would be phenomenal

I actually like the format. Knockout bracket is the losers bracket, that's why you get eliminated there. Why is this confusing to people

Who said it was confusing?

It's just bad.


How is it bad? Explain

Oliveira won three Bo5 series and ended in the same position as ShoWTimE who didn't win a single map.

Any further questions?


And he also lost two series.

As another poster pointed out, the differentiation of 5-18 placement is a bit rough, but let's be real - that doesn't matter quite as much as 1-4.

maybe it doesn't matter as much for you, but for these players it's a big difference in prize money for these players, they're working for this money it's their job


Look, I've always been a proponent for MUCH flatter distribution of prizes than what usually happens in tournaments. I agree with you - but as is, it just doesn't matter as much AND I still think it's not that bad of a format even for them. It is triple elimination, they have many shots to get as much money as they can

The prize distribution isn’t even that bad, I’ve seen many worse.

But the format is pretty godawful.

It’s where the extra lives are. Yes in theory you have those extra shots.

If you’re much of this field, do you take 2 lives to try and win a mini-tournament for a Ro4 versus a Serral or a Maru who also have 2 lives. And if you fall one round short of that, you’re in the same position as everyone else bar seeding.

Or would you take that extra life for a knockout bracket where you’re jostling for a decent placement, and if the stars align have a miracle run?

Pros will talk a decent game about coming to win, but I would wager most of this field would pick the latter.

Also I don’t recall such a huge disparity in lives in any SC2 tournament. SHINTime got one. By excelling, Dark and Clem also have 1, although they do have that sweet moolah. Everyone else has 3

It’s a complete bloody mess

Moaning about format aside, gotta say GGWP herO!

Terrible, Oliveira broke down and Reynor didn't look far off just now.

lol, Maru is the TvT king when it does not matter. He lost to Olivera in the IEM grand finals, now lost to Cure in the elimination match. Not the race, he just does not have championship mentality.


In Korea, Maru was the big fish in a small pond

But outside Korea he is nothing special. He isn’t a world champion for a reason



Keep it delusional boy


Keep coping boy



there's no coping dummy. to call Korea the best country in sc history a small pond yea ok.

Yes, that would be the most entertaining finals.
Dark vs anybody on the other side will be the most entertaining.
