In 2019: soO won his first significant championship. Dark made and then won his first GSL finals. Rogue made his first GSL ro4, finals, and can still win the tournament. It is the first year in LotV and first time since 2015 with 4 ZvZ finals of significant tournaments.
Championship level players make the finals, and win. Oh no!

Yeah, Stats got stomped in that group though, clearly not his day. I think the negatives of having THESE series vs Zest outweighs the positives of beating Stats by far. Also, if Rogue got there nerves during Ro8, imagine him during his first GSL grand finals

To be honest it's not like either of the two players have given us much to be excited for in major offline PvZ. But they get a week of GSL-STYLE PREPARATION™ so I hope to be entertained.

Traveling, just logged to say:
1) cool write ups as always TL. 2) Rogue is going to rekt Trap

All the other games were also very fun to watch.

It's a joke, but he is a victim of circumstances right now. There is a clear perception of late game Zerg being superior to all other races. Should Trap lose 4-0 in long macro games it will he hard to argue against the state of play helping Rogue when looking back on this years from now. That's not how I feel personally, but its definitely a valid view point I foresee many taking if this happens.
True, I would take that point of view in those conditions, I think that is only fair.
Hopefully balance won't be a deciding factor.
I am glad at least one of them will get to win their first GSL, they both deserve it by now imo. Pity its a team kill.

I really liked Traps approach with blink stalkers back then, I wonder if blink vs swarmhost will be a factor in the final considering Rogue can prep for it.

Stats got stomped after EMP was buffed (maru used it to crush him) and Protoss midgame got nerfed (bad vs zerg) and OL speed buff.
Before the balance patch Stats was trashing maru and solar

So if he gets "trashed" by Stats, that means there is a problem that needs to be addressed?
And considering Trap 4-1ed Maru after the patch, the patch was long overdue.
Maybe they shouldn't have nerfed protoss so much but buffed terran / nerfed nydus and/or infestor a bit more and it would have been fine, idk.

Congratulation Rogue. I think you have completed all the titles within the two years : Code S, Blizzcon, Katowice, ST, Shanghai.
Maybe you seek for WESG title next year if that sound matter to you.

Man, don't worry. They will buff Protoss next patch, and most likely nerf Zerg.
