Tbh, I think TvZ is kinda competitive... the one who has been done most dirty by this patch is Toss.
I mean, it tells you a lot, when the best player of the race openly discusses switching to another race in PvZ or when Clem is not playing PvT anymore..

I mean Clem having an easier time beating top terrans with his offrace protoss was not something desirable lol
PvT is fine results wise
But overall zerg is dominating both protoss and terran atm

While i dont disagree that PvT seems more on the fine side result wise i think the clem point is a bit iffy. Not like he didn't practise his pvt really hard for that.

Beating Byun and cure with toss isn’t that hard lol. Also we all know Clem isn’t confident in his tvt. Save us from the borefest tvt is

Clem was still losing to Maru

Here's the updated playoffs bracket! I find it is a bit easier to understand and read this format like this than on LP

Serral on a roll.

Reynor vs. herO now, should be interesting.

Hopefully not going to turn out like the semifinals in current RSL where there is nothing but zergs.
Great tournament as always though PiG, thoroughly enjoying it.

Pretty much looking like it... I doubt Zoun is able to beat Solar in a Bo7.
All eyes are on Maru to break the Zerg patch reign. But the way things present themselves at the moment, I think it is most likely that Serral will win his 5th PiG Sty trophy in an all Zerg run (so far 9-0). Solar might take him down in the semis, but I see neither Maru nor Shin - perhaps Reynor - challenge him in a Bo9 grand final.

Not even this patch can protect Shin from being Maru's punching bag.

This means we're likely to get another iteration of Serral vs. Maru though, as I do not see Zoun beating Maru in a BO7 in this patch.

Since we are entering the hotphase of playoffs, I think it is a good time for some compliments!
PiG is doing a fantastic job on this patch with his casting and the tournament is really fun on this patch. The maps are also really cool on this patch, while herOs performance is a bit underwhelming on this patch. It is also cool how much Serrals ZvZ evolved on this patch and it will be cool to see if Rogue is still his "kryptonite" on this patch or if Serrals ZvZ has become so good no Zerg can beat him on this patch.
It also surprises me how much patch is in this patch on this patch. Look at all that patch!

Gg Maru, lucky vs SHIN that he is his master because g3 should have been a loss
The macro games were lost in the TvP but Zoun couldn’t defend 1-1-1 to save his life so comfortable win
Hopefully he takes at least one game vs Serral but gotta be tough

Damn... sick first two games. Utterly insane control and decision making by both, but Maru seems to be more on point today.

Congrats to Serral, and thanks to Pig for delivering as always.

Will need to watch the series against Maru later, seems to have been a good one.
