-- This thread will contain spoilers. --
I'm making a low-effort original post for discussion of the EWC without political discussion.

If you want to say something about anything other than the games, players, and your personal non-political opinions, please feel free to make your own thread.
(Yes, I know that this is a naive attempt, and that someone will be unable to contain themselves. Maybe a mod would kindly remove posts of a political nature.)

How about the games today!? I was pretty excited about it and I'm looking forward to the games coming up here soon! Even starting on the 3-0 of Maru vs Spirit, I thought Maru really put up a masterclass with a killer instinct. Those disables in game 1. The SCV pull in game three. Beautiful. It will be interesting to see how Maru vs Oliveira goes considering how different the first two series were today.

Surprising result for Astrea, but well-earned! Maybe the Towel Terran will pull out some TvT magic in the lower bracket.

Serral played a match of starcraft against Coffee.

HerO used Tempests.

Cure looked a bit shaky today, turns out queens are a good unit.


What did everyone else think? What games are you looking forward to most for day 2? The upper bracket is crazy stacked! Clem looking like he might be able to ride some momentum!

I really really like the EWC format - lots of games to ensure the best player wins. If you're one of the top-16 qualified players, I think you need to have 3 losses before you get eliminated (prior to the top-4).

Possibly a bit rough on Showtime/Shin but I bet they don't care as they get a minimum 15k and they did qualify from a last-chance qualifier.

The LR thread is pretty politics free.

Was really impressed with Astrea's ability to position himself so well in every attack/defense and HerO's ability to do the exact opposite.

Looking forward to new strategy and tactics. This is what all these big tourneys should be about. Progamers practicing super niche, and specific strategy. May the best player win
