I would have liked to see Ryung return so he can stay motivated, but if he's losing to Percival then he's probably not ready. And it's nice to see new young players make it.
It's really awesome to see Keen, ForGG, and Trust back! It's exciting to have 3-4 new/fresh players.
I'm also glad to see Creator back finally. His group match vs Zest in the last GSL season of 2020 was a really good PvP. Too bad Patience didn't make it, as he also had a great PvP vs PartinG in that same season, but it's nice to see ForGG!

ForGG's run I hope is a preview of his performance in Code A itself. Taking out Armani, Patience and Hurricane is no easy feat and with only 1 actual map loss in all 3 sets.
To be fair you couldnt of named more "Code B" level players than Armani Patience and Hurricane
But yeah it was awesome
Armani made it into the ro4 of GSL:S3 2020, and he almost beat Dream recently (himself able to go to ro4), he is no pushover. This is very encouraging for ForGG, dunno if his worst match-up is still TvT?

Dudeeee. That Creator Zest PvP was AWESOME
DUDE YESSS. I haven't followed most of LotV, and didn't personally get to see much of Creator to understand why he has trouble staying in GSL and why the casters say he's a shaky player etc.
But that day he fucked Taeja hard, and also played such clean PvPs vs Zest. Remember that moment when Zest was about to sneak his Adepts in, and Creator actually was ready to block it with a Battery even though he was doing something else outside his base?? That's the kind of pro polished play I love to see in a game like SC2. Small things like that, always being ready.
That whole PvP was like, them making big plays against each other, and normally 1 big play will be enough to let you end the game soon in recent SC2, but in that series the other player would find ways to use their few advantages in some aspects and even the game back up, it was so exciting. Like one time Zest seemingly was about to catch Creator way off guard and kill his natural and basically win, but actually Creator knew to blink his Stalkers behind Zest's army and knew that if Zest tried to fight, Creator with his blink can just kite and run away. Basically stopping Zest from being able to focus the Nexus without losing his army, and Zest knew that and just recalled home. I also liked that they did a lot of similar things to each other, making the match feel mirror-y at times. (Well that's what I remember, might be a bit off on some things).
But yeah that PvP was so good, and Patience vs Parting's, and PvPs of recent too like sOs vs Zoun game 2, damn PvP is such a cool MU now! So much variety of tech/builds/strategies/unit comps/tactics, and both races have resilient army and longer fights especially thanks to Batteries and also Disruptor zoning and encouraging armies to be split up more and move more carefully. And not only that early game 1-2 base builds with aggressive tech/army strategies are intense and exciting, but also long macro games happen pretty commonly too and are intense and exciting and don't end in just 1 battle too often.
