Impressive run from Creator and Rogue, well deserved finals spot! As a Maru fan though, Rogue winning would mean he could get the G5L before Maru…

I am okay with either one winning the trophy. Either Rogue become the first Zerg player to gain four Code S titles tying with Maru's achievements or Creator takes his first championship title in the span of ten years, thus ending the Rogue's offline winning streak in the final and becomes the first Protoss player to do so since Stats in 2018.

It was 2017, Maru swept Code S in 2018

I am very happy for creator. But i think the finals will be really one sided. I just hope that i am wrong and that we get a really good story and nice games.

Maru need that, like a fire under his ass, so that he can give his all for the G5L. His game play between GSL and KoB3 are like day and night. I was absolutely shocked at how good he can look just playing straight up, without any trickery or cheese, yet he threw games and match in GSL for doing weird stuff.

Clearly the problem is that Maru lacks motivation.

yeah i wonder how he's feeling... after confessing yesterday that his peers don't believe in him and keep telling him he's not good, it must be devastating to be 1-8 with the only map won being against a foreigner. at least he made it to ro24 which is more than some of his team mates managed to do


I really hope Creator has a full and happy life outside of Starcraft, because his Starcraft career looks depressing (wasn't watching in 2011-2012 at least he had success early on)

WHERE D!


Lambo v Reynor game 1 on Thunderbird. It's over. NarutO is broadcasting the series.

Spoiler: the Ultras won

What was the build, mass zergling with muta or without? Straight into hive?
Or was Lambo rushing hive vs mutalisks of Reynor?


I only caught the end of the game. Lambo used nydus and then attacked with ultra/viper/mass queen. Reynor had ling-lurker. Don't think there were any spires, but not sure.

Lambo apparently went melee upgrades all the way.

Ok thanks.

hahahaha Clem actually won a game vs Creator


It's good to know that there are some new guys comming up for Creator to choke against

I really miss when tournaments were more interesting and there was great potential for dramatic underdog storylines. May not always reflect who the best is but it was just incredibly fun to have stories like duckdeok, pigbaby, sting, stardust, the random lot of gsl winners (especially seed and jjakji) among others. Never mind the insane MLG tournaments with massive open brackets or the oddities of up&down matches in gsl - I would be happy just to have one good story in one big tournament. miss the feeling of wide-eyed wonder so much.


It's an old game with old players.

At least it's not Brood War. I'm watching ASL and Tastosis are still raving about Flash. Imagine 12 years of Serral.

It'll probably be more than that considering Flash has wrist issues while serral doesn't.


He also doesn't have military.

Still I'm somewhat hype of when we'll wonder if korean up and comer Creator can challenge him after coming back from the military

I'm rooting for Creator but my heart and every metric I can think of tells me Rogue wins this 4-0.

It will come down to a final between the two of them. That's the only storyline that makes sense.

what a series from Creator! i couldnt believe he was destroying Trap the way he did. now, vs Rogue in the final thats another story. i hope he can make it but lets be honest, it will more difficult winning the final than his gsl run until now

anyway.... lets go Creator!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
i would define my style between a mix of ByuN, Maru and MKP

This finals will be Creator attempting all inns and rogue actively scouting and just holding everything, like all other top zergs do in ZVP, I believe Trap and now probably Creator if it is not a fluke is very much on rogues level, but because the matchup is so imbalanced with zergs at this Tier, I cannot see a victory for Creator here unless rogue starts dong all inns and stupid mutas witches that got him killed once vs creator already. I guess our biggest hope is for Rogue to mess up massively.

It is getting pretty boring watching The top tier Zergs in both regions almost always destroy their competition like they are not even close to their level, Terran and Protoss easily have players that match serral rogue dark reynor in skill yet Zerg taking down championships is extremely consistent.

Zerg have been getting away with this for far to long, this is a esport time to take the steps to make this a fair competition.

Time for popular opinion among "bigger" personalities in SC2 to stop attempting to dictate what is acceptable balance in this game, the influence on blizzard is clear as day and it needs to stop, we ne ed a new David Kim but one who truly understands the game and has a good vision, HOTS cough nothanks.

This. This is way too true. I'm willing to bet Maru or Trap would utterly dominate everyone more than they do now if they switched to Zerg.

The latest patch had like no significant nerfs to Zerg. However there were game changing nerfs to Protoss and especially Terran. Rogue is gonna win again and it won't even be close.

So excited!!!

Either one winning the GSL would be great. Rogue getting a 4th would be hype, and he really deserves more golds for being as good as he is - if he can get more golds to match his skill, it would help cement his dominance in the last 2 years (achievement wise), and also bring him closer to rivaling Maru or eventually surpassing him as the GOAT perhaps. (And also putting Rogue more clearly ahead of Innovation who I think is at #3).

Creator winning would be SO HYPE. I actually love love watching PvZ, and the new patch with making Queen walks harder has made it even more enjoyable.

I think Creator has some things going for him. He is a planner, same as Rogue, and that potentially could make the series come down more to mindgames and planning than other opponents. Sometimes, a planner can't use the full depth of his smartness unless against another planner, and then some big brain stuff really happens.

Also, I think everyone including Dark will be rooting for Creator and helping him practice. Just like how he had everyone on his side vs Trap, I think Rogue will have a hard time finding practice partners. Everyone is going to want Creator to win and upset Rogue.

Also, this time Creator has a full week to prepare. When he first fought Rogue, it wasn't a stomp actually, if he made 1-2 moves/scouts better it would have been pretty even (like being ready for Mutas). He got out of his group on Thursday and fought Rogue on Monday, so only 4 days. ALSO I think having fought Rogue now, he might be able to better prepare for the finals. Rogue can prepare more too of course, but I think in situations like this, it will help the underdog "catch up" more than it will help the better player stay ahead.

Also Creator is just super on fire in general. Rogue did lose to Trap in group stage. I don't expect Creator PvZ to be as good as Trap, but I think it could come close to it in the GFs, and that might just be enough for him to win!

I expect Creator will pull out his absolute best, cleanest, most ruthless play. I'm really hoping and expecting a close 4-3 series! Please let it be an amazing finals to remember! "Let our last stand burn a memory so bright we will be known throughout eternity!"

Also so excited that it's going to be at a big venue. I'm actually surprised - if they kept it at the normal studio, I feel they probably wouldn't even be able to fill it up? Or maybe having it at a big venue will make people want to come? I hope COVID won't affect the numbers too much, I would LOVE to see a huge audience again watching and cheering, and for us to see a proper GSL finals! The only thing is yeah, it would probably have been nicer if it was on the weekend? But oh well.

And of course if Creator loses - I expect he will still be a favorite to make Ro4 again next season, or at least the Ro6.

This has the makings of being true worst GSL final since Nestea vs Inca. Maybe Creator will try some DT rushes too, just to make the parallels completely obvious.

This is so interesting that Creator is having a cinderella run through this GSL. However he'll probably get 4-1'd or swept by Rogue.

I want Creator to put up a good performance here, but I'm mostly just hoping that going 1-4 doesn't destroy his mentality for future tournaments.
