Classic also has a really shitty record against Dark, so it looks like Dark's going to the finals unless upsets happen.

Wouldn't surprise me. Who will he lose to in the finals this time I wonder?

I'd be pretty happy to see him win though

Dark vs either herO or Stats will be the final.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Keep in mind soO won his only championship (KeSPA Cup 2015) against Dark

While I really want to see Maru vs. Dark III, I wouldn't mind seeing Classic PvT his way to a championship (he's lost enough on PvZ that I wouldn't begrudge him an ST trophy)

Byun was only good when he could abuse reapers, as soon as Blizz patched them he was done.
Also Stats' defense to early aggression is legendary.

That's just not true though back in late 2016 he was legit good.
When you look at his runs in the GSL and Blizzcon the players he beat in the playoffs were Ryung, Dear, sOs, TY, Stats and Dark.
The only one of those series where Reapers played a significant role was the one against Dark.
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

Yeah, gimme some imba unit/strat/build and let me practice the shit out of it with great micro and maybe I will look "legit good" too*

I've watched him abuse reapers many times outside that GSL finals. I also remember watching him in 2017 and he only had 3 builds: reapers, 2medivacs aggression, and helion rush into bio.

He's the embodiment of 'patch-terran', came into great success based on exactly one patch version, then hung around for a bit when tankivacs were something to abuse; now that both tankivacs and reapers have been patched out, he's gone.

He did have god-like micro, which is why he made both those micro-intensive strats look easy.


* I don't have great micro, quite the opposite, actually

Maru has played the same way for 8 years lol

Not at all lol. He used to always go all-out midgame aggression and avoided playing lategame. Now he's the best lategame player in the world.


Literally.

Did you read what I just wrote? Except the one series against Dark his success wasn't based on Reapers at all.
Tankivacs weren't really good in TvP either which was the matchup he played the most during his runs.
