People may be disappointed two protoss advanced from Group C, but Hurricane played great and really earned his place in the next round.

I think the two Toss not getting out of group B will help to calm down the community rage.
Got to say I'm worried about Zest, he has looked pretty terrible and I wonder if he's not that into SC anymore? Maybe just practicing way less?

@Moonerz I wouldn't worry too much about Zest, already. He had very mediocre/bad looking times before. In 2017 he slumped almost all year long apart from Homestory Cups and then he had a very solid 2018.

Eh, Zest has done very well for himself on the ladder and had been playing quite frequently. One hallmark of his play is he does these builds where he doesn't scout and builds barely any early units and he just rolls over and dies to any early aggression.

|
Any good games that were worth watching?
|
I think by games, that was the worst group so far.. TRUE played the most horrible Zerg I've ever seen in my whole life in GSL...

That was a solid slugfest from both sides. To be honest, the vast majority of the games were rather forgettable. Classic was too far ahead of everyone and TRUE too far behind everyone in this instance. The most fun series all involved Hurricane.
|
It's been a year since the last ro16 for solar. He performs well except for gsl but hurricane deserved to win today. And classic was the best today by far
|
Damn you Maru, now how am I supposed to comment that Solar is the reserve-Maru who just can't perform in GSL.
|
High quality gameplay was had.

As a big TvT fan I must say, Classic vs Hurricane game 1 was one of the funnest scrappiest PvP's I've seen. Also pretty happy to see Impact do well.
|
Hurricane definitely unexpected - leaves it possible for 10 toss ro16 - lets go boys! Keep making history
Fun Fact:
On his historic run to 4 championships code S - Maru was responsible for eliminating 8 protoss (8-0 vs toss of the 12 matches he played) from ro8 forward. Excluding mirrors - the rest of the field was 2 and 7.
Good old Maru - destroyer of Aiur!
|
Destroyer of Aiur in Cose S, victim of the conclave in weekenders(five eliminations at the hands of Protoss in 2018). Quite weird, Maru is the best TvP player at the moment.

hope we have another gumiho "last defender of humanity" ro8 timeline

So what's the deal with GSL being rushed like it's a 2011 GSL?

But if some games which may be worth your time include: - Gumiho vs Zest G1 - Hurricane vs Solar (losers match) G3 - not the most fun (I'm not a fan of PvPs) but as far as PvPs go, both Classic vs Hurricane games were pretty good
|
Hurricane's games vs Solar were pretty amazing. Especially that first game when he hallucinated zealots. I mean who does that?! Wonder if the meta will change to that... hahaha.

I do recommend G1 of Classic vs Hurricane, a very scrappy but fun game.
