In the Dragon Ball series, particularly its more violent sequel series Dragon Ball Z, many of the characters including the main character Goku must transcend mortal human capability in order to defeat increasingly powerful extraterrestrial threats. While human characters must train to use special techniques and energy blasts, the saiyans (a human-like alien species) such as Goku are able to increase their "power level" by going "Super Saiyan" which turns their hair yellow and causes bright yellow energy to radiate from their body due to the energy they have in their body.

In this case, instead of getting more powerful after losing against more powerful foes like in the manga and anime, the players simply get more powerful (with more glowing) with undefeated win streaks.

Another example of this is in some sports video games in which a basketball or hockey player scoring multiple times in a row becomes "on fire" (literally, in the game) or glows yellow, red, or eventually blue with enough score.

Thanks

Also thanks for reminding me the NHL fire icon

The changes in hexagon dimensions (Game Sense -> Macro, Tactics -> Strategy, Mentality -> Mindset) are just translation changes. The Chinese words are still the same as before.

Among these changes there are two that I'm not sure whether it's an improvement over the previous one.
Game Sense -> Macro (the Chinese word: 大局观 (big picture, overall view))
Tactics -> Strategy (although 战术 in Chinese has broad meanings, imo in sc2 scene it's more often used for non-standard build orders (such as SpeCial, sOs), but probably not as aggressive as early-game cheeses)

They (or rather their teams) don't play in the tournament this thread concerns.

They don't deserve the might of the hexagon

The Hexagon will see them all the same, for all are judge by the Hexagon in the end.

As said in Scboy's wechat article, Dark's overall point on hexagon will be lowered next week due to him to performing that well and have a low win rate.

Oh you are right, well seen! He had -1 mindset but +1
micro between week 4 and 5.
I have to confess, I only check the overall score first and if there's no change I don't check each stats.
