TY 4-2, solely because I'd rather see TY vs Rogue than Stats vs Rogue. And I have a huge TY crush so there's that too <3 Fighting!
Jung Yoon Jong fighting, even after retirement! Feel better soon.

This series should be phoenomenal on paper, but TY has an absolute monster record vs Stats. The unstoppable force definitely beats the immovable object in their history. So I expect this to be something like a 4-1 in favor of TY.

That said, Stats has a tendency to stomp terran favorites when he's counted out and lose horribly when people think it will be a good series.

To be fair if Stats can stick around for a million years there’s surely got to be at least a change of a swing in PvZ balance/meta to suit his style again.

I did miss a few years of action, that said of all the lopsided rivalries I can think of this seems one of the weirder ones.

TY swatting Parting aside last two GSLs makes sense to me as Parting has a particular style that TY seems very good at countering with some prep time.

Stats on the other hand is just the definition of a solid macro player. Especially when TY has got bopped by many a Protoss below Stats’ level over the years.

Was curious as to thoughts on this, just one of those weird outliers, maybe they’re mind melded after KT and Stats got the raw end of the deal or is it just a style clash?

I don't see a way any protoss can outbullshit Rogue in a preperation series now that Classic's gone. But if anyone could play macro and still win, it would be Stats.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Imagine a back and forth series of macro games, Rogue sneaky aggression being both successful and deflected by Aiur’s noble shield and it ending in the decider with Stats doing the ‘Classic build’. Dear lord even this incredibly unlikely hypothetical is sending shivers down my spine.

Whatever it is though, and yes he does pull the odd cheese off too but Stats just doesn’t seem to commit with the intensity that Classic did in his final year.

A crude analogy indeed but Stats is a gentle man, a man who plays Starcraft in a gentlemanly manner, a manner that Artosis himself approves of. Stats cheesing feels like a pretty vanilla dude trying to keep up with a partner who has crazy BDSM desired. I mean sure he can put a brave face and try it, and she might have the odd good time but both participants know he’s not really into it and she should probably seek out someone a bit more freaky.

I'm just excited the schedule works out so that I can actually watch this one live! My heart is rooting for TY but my head says it's a coinflip - I really have no idea who's favored here. Either way, neither of them are super cheesy or hyper-aggressive so I'm hoping for at least a few solid macro games.

I would say Stats is an example of a solid macro player but not the definition. I think a definition would be more like "someone who generally doesn't lose early on and wins in big long games"

aligulac.com You sure about that?

Well exactly? Probably didn’t phrase it well my confusion was why Stats has such a particularly outlyingly bad record against TY. TY dismantling Parting with some prep makes a lot of sense for example but Stats having such a bad record seems odd.

Just using your date span for ease of comparison!

Trap - Matches: 12-8 (60%) Games: 38-33 (53.52%)
herO - Matches: 5-5 (50%) Games: 15-8 (45.45%)
Classic - Matches: 3-5 (37.50%) Games: 12-17 (41.38%)
Parting - Matches: 3-6 (33.33%) Games: 15-18 (45.45%)
Stats - Marches: 1-8 (11.11%) Games: 4-15 (21.05%)

We learn a few things here, TY is pretty good against Protoss for one in general to be fair. Still, Stats’ record is still weirdly bad. I’d also assume Trap is pretty good at PvT but also that TY in online cups is a less terrifying opponent than with some prep.
