It's funny to see so many dumb balance complaints when Neeb played amazingly. I guess it is too be expected, as the majority of remaining sc2 players are Terran / Zerg. Protoss is massively under represented From Gold to GM and everything in between... numbers like 35% zerg 37% terran and 24% protoss in masters...... 37% zerg 34% terran 22% protoss in diamond...... I attribute that to the sheer difficulty to play the race optimally with all the changes in lotv. They are below 50% in both matchups on aligulac as well.

But hey... rabble rabble adepts probably won rabble rabble diminish diminish.

Er, would it be too much to ask that you don't f*cking announce all the results in a headline? Some of us can't sit in front of live casts all day and were looking forward to watching the VODs without knowing the results...

Neeb was definitely favored among foreigners. He's been practicing in Korea for months with someone like ByuN, Solar, Dear, and many other good Korean players. Even Korean commentators claimed that Neeb is probably one of biggest darkhorse in this tournament and predicted "if Neeb avoid ByuN in group stage, he might have good chance to advance to Ro8' and he really did. While Neeb was showing his great performance, rest 3 were worse than their usual performance, Zest was lacking as lately, ByuN's decision making was not good and showing tilted moments, and Rogue.... he just played so poorly entirely in whole group stage, especially vs ByuN in 2nd game..

Yeah, it's getting quite ridiculous to be honest. Never used to be this way. What happened?

Zest played way better than the last few times we saw him, at least against ByuN.

I am quite upset I went to sleep right before Neeb's games. At least there are vods. I'm just happy with the results, its cool to see an American Protoss do so well. The hype was real. Keep up the work brotha.

Probably. But we caught Zest's decision making and mechanics were still lacking a lot compared to his prime early 2016. I would say Zest did good job to take out ByuN, but his performance was not impressive to be honest vs ByuN. ByuN also played not good vs Zest.
