SR always fall short in the playoff because they dont have the top level talent outside of Byun, should try to get Rogue next season.

I guess the format tends to necessitate the flip where teams with super aces really get an advantage at this stage of the competition.

Assuming Rogue returns to being something like his old self of course. I quite like a bunch of reasonably balanced teams then really stacked one, or ones where a super ace can hard carry

Incidentally does the Chinese client have different music or is that just a choice of the broadcaster?

HerO over Olivera on the revive is certainly a choice.

Man, Clem will all kill every team all by himself, isn't he? What a monster.

Since his loss vs Reynor on Oceanborn, Clem is on a casual 28-0 streak.

Reynor’s form will be crucial. He matches well with Clem, but he has been all over the place in recent months.

Both SR and Weibo sending out their best player against Clem first to get sniped early is completely clueless. I can understand SR case because Cure might just sweep through their entire lineup minus Byun anyway, but Weibo must know their best player against Clem is Oliveira, right? Send herO out first so that he can clean up as many as he can, and have Oliveira against Clem would be the best choice.

While I don't really want Vitality to threepeat, I can't deny it would be hilarious if Clem rampages through the entire world only to get stopped by Ryung again.

Inb4 Clem stomps Reynor, Serral, Maru & Solar only to get sniped by Ryung.

First map of the next bo2 is Ghost River, so Liquid probably wanted Clem vs one of the Basilisk Zergs there and Cure is a sacrifice.

At the same time, sending out Elazer and rolling the dice in ZvZ would work just as well. I like Elazer's odds of stealing a map off Serral more than Cure's. (Or if Elazer isn't available send a pure sacrifice like Skillous)
