I switched it off and went to bed after TY v Zest. Now I find Trap/Patience was actually a cracker of a set >< Anyway, TY looks so good at the moment. Can't see anyone stopping him but lets go Neeb!

Congrats to Neeb! This is the first time since Jinro that a foreigner has advanced to the Ro4 in a Korean tournament. I stayed up late to watch it. Felt like old times.

That's misleading. Current Kespa cup is still a weekend tournament, while Jinro reached ro4 of early GSLs. However, I believe Neeb's run is already better than Sen's win in Taiwan open and Lilbow's WCS runs (by quality of competition) and then Snute's IEM Shenzhen run (by reaching ro4). So it is the best foreigner result of at least 2 years. I'm to lazy to check before that but it is significant by itself.

Also, as already stated in another thread, in that run, Jinro beat MC, who was a heavy favourite, with mech.

Also, as a caveat, Jinro played Terran at that time, and they were by definitely the best race at that time.

Here, Neeb isn't beating Terran, who have had trouble against P. (Though he did face Pet and Rogue...)

Worth noting is that Kespa Cup started of at a Ro16, while GSL (Jinro's Run(s)) started of at Ro32. Thus Jinro's Ro4 is more impressive since it is one step deeper.

No? Did you see Nerchio and MarineLord advance? 1 out of 3 isn't everyone.

Just go to Youtube to https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-uRIJPCxHjffqlil5hkuZkeIHSqCkcq8

It's the channel of eSportsTV. The titles of the videos are like "[KeSPA Cup] Maru vs Patience RO.16 Group D match1 set1" So you only see how many matches have been played but not who won, so it's relatively spoiler free.

Yeah! that's what I was looking for: spoiler-free but in order, thank you

They do spoil how many games were played in a series, but nothing's perfect, eh

It's been a great and enteraining tournament so far - that Patience-Trap game was hilarious. Can't believe it's still possile to see new endings like that!
