He really made Leenock look worse than he actually was. He looked incredibly solid. Was just super careful and calculated in when he expanded, how he defended, how he moved out and in his general control. It's a bit of a funny world where By.Sun looks better than HerO and Soulkey looks better than Leenock - but it is also a bit magical to see the game get better just before your very eyes. The HerO v Soulkey series looked pretty wild to me too. HerO is incredibly quirky, for better or for worse, in how he refuses play a standard Protoss game. But splitting up his entire army to harass with Colossi, with Zealots, with Stalkers. It kind of felt that in the last two games he would be better off by massing up and deathballing, but to be blunt I doubt that many people posting in live report threads have the game knowledge to truly say that it was the wrong decision. In the end, it did win him the games, but holy hell were they nailbiters. It might also be a reaction to not feeling comfortable with dealing with the BL, Corrupter and Infester death ball and experimenting with a different approach - in which case it worked out, but it only worked out by half an inch when coming from favorable looking situations twice. Finally, I have to admit it made me sad to see how many people call out players when facing incredibly high pressure situations. In HerO's case, he even won but from the reactions of the live report, it almost made it seem like he was utterly awful. Still, fills my heart with joy that he won. Not because of Kespa this or elephant that, but because any more HerO sadness on a broadcast game would just make me cry. | ||
