Something special watching this and losing sleep over it, haha.
Soooo happy that Neeb won and the quality of the competition wasn't exactly pushover either.

The lad's humility during this tournament was really nice to see. I wish him continued success in future!

he deserves it. the pvp and disrupter master Neeb.

Chokes to uThermal and Mlord. Beats Rogue and Stats. Neeb wtf are you?


he got much better after practicing in Korea. He 6-1ed uThermal in recent 2 tournaments. You can't compare months ago Neeb, and current Neeb. :D

Sick write-up, thank you.

I caught the Stats series on O'Gaming for g4, I'm looking forward to the VODs of this one.

Neebs PvP is off the charts but thats about it. He made it through PvP.

Went straight home from work - found the VODS without looking at the spoiler headlines and watched them all. Can't believe what Neeb accomplished here! Not only did he win, but he actually outplayed his opponents...not by cheesing at the right moments or winning by lucky build orders - but by OUTPLAYING them! Amazing considering everyone thought it was impossible.

Congratulations Neeb - can't wait to see more games in the future.

On a sidenote, there were some seriously entertaining PvPs in this tournament (although the finals were very disruptor heavy).

Great job Neeb! Now compare the difficulty of this run versus Jinro's runs in the GSL where he made the semifinals.

Polt was right when saying Jinro was overrated or something like that tho :x.

The underestimation by Stats was very interesting. He should have won that series by every stretch but he hit god tier levels of overconfidence. Going disruptor vs disruptor against the player who does it on a regular basis was just...is there a word to describe that level of mistake. Had he played more aggressive, possibly cheesey in games 2 and 3. Instead of going blink stalker pressure into "uh I guess I'll get upgrades and disruptors?" (which makes absolutely ZERO SENSEhe likely would have rolled over him. After that series I doubt anyone thought Trap was going to beat Neeb.

I wonder if the system in Korea has begun to fail, thinking about how and why Byun and Neeb were able to win such big tournaments in this time period. I think the motivation level is falling for a lot pro's on Kespa teams, with all the rumors of disbandment and Proleague ending.

Of course I'm not trying to take away from their wins, they absolutely deserve it. It's interesting to see the rise of players who don't have that system in place and how they can now find success.

Byun won through very solid mechanics, nothing weird about that. Neeb won through PvP and his opponents doing really really bad research agaisnt him which he took advantage of. Nothing to do with motivation.

I dunno for Neeb but ByuN's mechanics are worth more than being in a kespa house. Plus he can practice with Neeb anyways

Or they did what Korean top tier players do. Think this one is in the bag so they focus on players they are more worried about.

Not like it's hard to guess he's going to play disruptors again in the next game.
They were just outclassed in PvP, which is weird considering the number of KR protoss going to Blizzcon.

Honestly from how PvP in Korea looked in the past few months, they're probably not used to both players surviving past the "mass adept" stage.

Trap and Zest were outclassed, Stats pulled the old "He can't beat me, im going to out disruptor him" and was dumbfounded.

Was it just one week ago when people were posting that Neeb would get crushed without winning a single map?
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.
