Zoun's Disruptor usage has been pretty terrible.

He's hitting his own units a lot.


It just feels like a terrible comp choice against a guy who really wants to play multi prong bio and kite you rather than finding big exchanges.

I feel like the moment Terran see Storm on the way, just turtling home until you got mass Ghost out, unless you can dodge like Clem.

one thing i just picked up on, the build from zoun game 2 and game 5 were actually all in despite having storm. both games 3 base no 4th and no upgrades vs 1 1. i think this build is always meant to yeet itself and end the game from zoun

Yes it feels Like this Storm Meta basically hard counters byuns way of playing because the Storm + GW armies feast on smaller size Bio forces.

If ByuN could remove his unbelievably bad midgame decisions, he'd be so much better. Zoun not upgrading at all, clearly baiting, and all Byun needed to do was get +2 damage, stay within 1 base, and it's like an 85% win unless he eats 3 storms while defending. Instead he tries some fancy cat crap dropping and frontlining a top level Protoss who is literally sitting there waiting for it. And silly stuff like 3 rax across the map.. even if he denies a Nexus with that, any Protoss who is mildly calm will realize they have a tech lead and just get their Storm/Colossus and take a 3rd and 4th at the same time.

Obviously it's easy for me to be an armchair judge when the players are drooling for the huge prizepool.
It makes it hard to be a ByuN fan when the decision making is so bad. Glad he's out early, though, Zoun was being 'friendly' by forgetting that high templars existed in 2 of the games.

Hopefully Showtime gets knocked out quickly as well. The King of Snooze games.

turtling against storm is generally not a good idea because you need space to kite and split. you risk getting boxed into a tight space. you don't want storms anywhere near your SCVs and you don't want to fight vs storm with too many body-blockers around, like a big fat command center on the ground. that's why terrans lift their CC - not because they're trying to evacuate, but because they need more room to split

maybe with tanks / mines you can sit back and turtle for a bit, but not with pure bio. with pure bio it's generally preferable to meet toss in the middle of the map

But fighting smaller scale on the map doesnt feel Like its very good either.

Eh the current storm builds are kinda saccing Eco/Upgrades for more Units.

yeah, well... that's TvP I don't blame Byun for trying to dive on the warp prism. if he had a few extra marines, maybe he would have got it

Playing pure Marine/Marauder with delayed Medivacs just feels like a poor choice in the current meta.

At least how Zoun played some of these games, I missed the start of the series mind, but last game I mean he’s cutting forge(s) and secondary splash to go big on gatewayman

As a general rule of thumb you probably don’t want to be roaming around out the map versus someone cutting corners to pummel you with a timing. I guess the tricky part in TvP is if you’re too passive Toss can put on the eco afterburners

On the flipside Byun is a few extra marines boxed and prism sniped away from winning not just that game, but the series. Fine margins in this game StarCraft eh?

Cheeky from Rogue, that set 1 wasn’t remotely close but Rogue did throw out a gamble. Wonder if it’ll be closer with a more normal start

If you want to see a cheeky gamble, you should go back and watch Game 1 of ByuN and Zoun lmao.
