I wonder when the last time, if ever, it was that someone’s qualified for a pretty big tournament and played a different race in the main event | ||

He will give you a flash of brilliance here and there against top players or take a game or 2 off them But he will never beat any top dogs in any tournaments | ||

Obv if anyone gets a winners' bracket upset that gives them a major adv It's very cool that it worked out this way even though a dark horse run is always exciting. Splits the tournament cleanly into an upper bracket competing for the title and a lower bracket competing for the EWC spot | ||

You are (mostly) right when it comes to the knockout bracket, though. Still love watching and rooting for Showtime  | ||

He qualified playing only Protoss. Would have definitely played Terran at the main event, but he pulled out. | ||

But great, entertaining games, a nice atmosphere, and the beautiful city make for a great viewing experience. It might be as I’m on holiday and I can only devote so much time to StarCraft without my partner getting annoyed, so it does suit me! I don’t mind the general cadence though so far anyway. I’ve consistently felt other tournaments don’t do this very well since forever. Groups drag for like 2 days, then most of the playoff stuff is in one big day and the final few matches to follow. So in that sense I think this is better paced | ||

I am not sure what the cause, but to go from 50/50 split into lopsided 1-10 record is just so weird to watch. I think rotti Said it best that reynor became more predictable vs serral instead of this guy who could Just Bring Out anything and in that kinda Games serral Just Beats him. | ||

I mean thats kinda the dynamics in the matchup, If you are passive in you strong Phase and let the protoss Take His 4th and 5th more or less for free then you get outscaled. | ||

Yeah, but I dont think it was this sharp of a difference. Previously I feel like Terran can take a 4th and defend well, now 4th base for Terran seems like a very bad move if they play defensive. | ||
