The online-cup trinity took over in the last week of March, with Clem recording a double while MaxPax and herO took a single win a piece.

We began the week with a customary Clem vs MaxPax finals in WardiTV Mondays, as the two rivals faced off for the 655th time in their careers. The mysterious Dane's recent struggles against
Clem continued, and the Liquid ace ultimately came out with a convincing 3-1 win in the finals VOD*****
March 24: Monday Night Weeklies #10

The usual suspects were back at it hours later in Monday Night Weeklies, and this time around, it was Clem and herO who ended up being the main contenders for the title. While
herO won the initial BO3 bout against Clem in the upper bracket, Clem fought back to reset the bracket from the losers' side. In the final BO3 to decide it all, herO managed to take a 2-0 to earn his only victory of the week (4-2 overall mapscore for herO in three BO3 matches). Continuing an intriguing trend from their recent clashes, herO seemed to have a slight edge in longer, stable macro games, whereas Clem's advantage was in early-mid/game aggression (VOD). *****
March 24: PiGosaur Cup #24

With Clem declining to compete and herO forfeiting midway through the proceedings,
MaxPax was left to sweep up the pieces in PiGosaur Cup. Not that it was a cakewalk—underdogs SpeCial and Cure both took a map off of him in the lower rounds. However, the finals was rather one-sided for MaxPax, as he swept Gerald 3-0 (VOD). Gerald has often tried to cheese stronger PvP players in cup competition, but this time around he went for a more straight-up approach. Alas, it was to no avail, as MaxPax simply out-microed him in Blink-Stalker battles.*****
March 26: Kung Fu Cup 2025 #5 - SC Evo Complete Mod

Kung Fu Cup's run of competitions under the SC: Evolution Complete mod (SC2 vs BW) continued for the third straight week, with the amusing twist of Dark playing random all the way through. Dark nearly won the cup while playing with this handicap, but ultimately fell 2-3 to ByuN in the finals due to the OP-ness of Brood War mech* (VOD (Korean)).
*My expert opinion from watching just a handful of games is that BW mech and Corsairs are insanely OP.

Former pro-turned-streamer Rex threw his hat into the tournament organizer ring with Rex March Madness, putting up $1000 for the top online hustlers. The final showdown was a rematch from Monday Night Weeklies, with Clem and herO facing off yet again. This time around, Clem was successful in pulling ahead with his early/mid-game aggression, leveraging it to a 4-2 victory (VOD (playoffs)).
