CJ is fucked. Freecs is deep enough to have at least 2 guys (including Patience) prepped with herO snipes.

The problem with snipe builds is they don't give the player an opportunity to play the late game if the build fails. herO has a lot of defensive tools in the protoss arsenal to avoid snipes.

He has nothing the Protoss players on Afreeca don't have

Besides, I doubt herO will just sit back and defend every game. It's not what he does.

Yea herO likes stalkers. So patience will send them back in time to 2010, then race switch to terran and spam marauders and pray...seems like a 10/10 strat to me.

Perhaps they figured their other players would do better with specific snipe builds rather than likely starting off with a loss and having to catch up. It's pretty hard to snipe hero.

My theory is that CJ has somehow predicted exactly what afreeca is gonna do, and has snipe maps for everything, hero wins the first map then gets sniped, cj snipes the sniper, cj loses, cj snipes etc.. EZ PZ 4-3 win CJ

Eh herO gets sniped pretty regularly in all-kill format. Pretty sure he's the best Proleague player without any 3-kills and all-kills.

i dont got y CJ always starts with herO. He has to get multiple kills. Now Afreeca can prepare a snipe build on King Sejong (even have a decent shot with patience) - and KKS has a lot of potential for uncommon. you cant give them better odds.
