EPTAlso fascinated with how you dislike FFE in PvZ so much, I think opening 1 base is still very interesting against the current 20-supply third metagame.
Anyway, hope you stream more tomorrow!

That is genuinely the most inspiring thing I've read on Team Liquid. | ||

Nony, I am still convinced you are playing FFE on a smurf account we do not know about and you are just waiting to drop it in the semi finals of IPL to blow everyones mind. Just putting it out there so when it happens, I can say I saw it comming. | ||
