He completely flubbed the NA and KR qualifiers on reasonable ping, but then basically beast moded the EU qualifier on terrible ping. Clearly he's in this for the thrill of the challenge. Maybe Cure should play GSL locked into a steel cage, dangling above a lava pit. | ||

Just spawn more overlords, man!! Seriously speaking, who are you comparing Elazer to(excluding Serral and Reynor)? | ||

And I mean based on his results over the last two years I would't quite say "every time". | ||

Clearly he's in this for the thrill of the challenge. Maybe Cure should play GSL locked into a steel cage, dangling above a lava pit. To me it feels like Cure struggles a bit under pressure. He s an online juggernaut, but he struggles in offline events. He is Top 5 on alligulac for a while now, wich means he has been pretty consistent lately. But offline his winrate is almost 10% lower and he never gets that amazing results. I recon thats why, he was so good in the EU qualifier. He didn t feel like he HAD to qualify, because he knew, it would be almost impossible. Without pressure to deliver, he brought his A-game, but then he struggles with more pressure again. | ||

He can really put on the aggro sometimes, and has decent game-sense (pre-hive tech time at least  ) | ||

Not a good way to build confidence for him, but we've seen him do miracles before when no one expected anything out of him. The other story was that no Protoss got farther than the Ro16 except Showtime and Neeb and both of them got knocked out by Denver. Who the hell is Denver?! Yet we've had 2 Korean Protosses advance already with another qualifier yet to be played. Gonna be an interesting tournament. There's not many conclusions you can draw from these brackets so far except which players look dominant and which ones don't. | ||

Which is about all it takes to best protoss right now. he's been tier 2 EU zerg for a long time, always capable of competing with top players, just not quite as consistent or strong. he's not an unknown, just one of many strong EU zergs who aren't Serral/Reynor/Elazer/etc. | ||

Sure Classic's departure hurt, but I think we need more time to let things settle Yeah, it is very early to say, but looking at how the meta is evolving so far and how strong Terran and Zerg are compared to Protoss both defensively and aggressively I don't really see how Protoss will manage any results in longer series consistently at the end of the year. I find it hard to believe every good Protoss player we had suddenly decided to go into a slump at the same time, over that long a period. Protoss win rates have for a majority of SC2 been all inns, as Blizzard has now been nerfing every single Protoss all in for a very long time, you start to see how weak Protoss really is when Terrans and Zergs are getting way too comfortable defending everything. Blizzard really needs someone working for them that has deep understanding because their balance decisions are hugely affected by the masses which is completely unreliable input. For those playing Protoss that plan to make a living of sc2 in 2020 I feel really bad for them, a few more months I believe we will start to see Protoss really struggle unless some top-end Protoss pulls a bunny out of a hat and creates a playstyle we could never have imagined would be viable. | ||

Denver: Has just recently gone fulltime pro (I think?, I read that somewhere on TL) Elazer: Third best foreign Zerg for a while now | ||

Serral has mantained a dominating win ratio against the best koreans offline in the last two years, he would roflstomp any lesser korean(on 200+ ping especially); online Cure is one of the strongest koreans at the moment tho, if you did not notice. | ||
