Damn. Shin just wasted too much resources and sloppy handling of units, but still won.

Have a 20k resource lost deficit but make 15 brood lords and still win the game. Miss the old GSL days.

Will Clem play the entire tournament as a Terran, or will he play as a Protoss with other Terrans?

The turn around time on these GSLs is too fast given how few rounds there are. It feels a bit lifeless with only 12 players. Im happy to watch and support GSL but something feels lacking with how it is done.

It is also a weird decision that they held the qualifier for S2 before S1 was even finished...is there any reason why they have to rush this much?

Studio time maybe? Idk what else it could be, way too fast a turnaround for my personal tastes

I could only watch like 75% of Clem vs Classic so I missed his games vs Cure, how did he lose?
Is GSL that Special that Even in its reduced format the top foreigners disappoint?
I thought herO + Clem was a given in this group

Damn it Clem! ayayay. I would never expect him to finish last in this group. He did so well in qualifier. Especially he was favored against Cure, I thought. Every good foreign player that tries gsl, seems to be somehow cursed by default. The more kudos to Scarlett, Neeb for reaching playoffs. am still so unsatisfied Serral has never tried.

I think its just a mix of an unfogiving format and then you hit a stadked group and it's so easy to go out like that.
Imo that also shows that all these statements that player xyz would do well in gsl is nothing but talk as the tournament always manages to prove that it just isnt that easy.

G1: Clem goes for 4 gate blink against 2-base push from Cure. Clem gets a good backdoor attack into the main before recalling back, but gets wrecked when he tries to clear out the Tanks sieging him. Cure wins with follow-up attack.

G2: Clem plays Charge-first with Immortal and beats a different version of 2-base all-in.

G3: Cure plays for Mine-drop into another Marine-Tank push but there's a 3rd CC behind it this time. Clem's charge and zealot warp-in are just barely too late to stop his third base from going down, and he's screwed from there.

It's lowkey bugging me at this point that the foreigners continue to underperform in GSL, haha, as it maintains that veil of mystique around GSL which otherwise feels out of place these days.

But it is what it is and so we are likely to get some set of the usual suspects in the playoffs. Let's see if Shin can repeat his success against Maru tomorrow.
Mutation complete.

Maru lategame took a nosedive, hes just all about turtling and hoping the opponent took a bad fight so that he can counter and win. There were moment in the game against Zoun where he can push with 30 army supply advantage but he chose to stay home and turtle, to let Zoun grow back his econ and army. There was no threat of pushing, and the harassment is zero after the mine drop,

Amazing ZvZ series and ZvP from Rogue right after winner match. Rogue seemed favorable to win more ZvZ games whenever either against Dark, Solar, DRG, Soo or Shin in ro.8 of GSL onwards.

GSL continues to OWN foreigners, even in it's shriveled online state. It's always been the hardest and best tournament.

Massive respect to the chad Clem for trying, his reaction made me feel super sad for him.

Hope he doesn't give up and tries again.
