MVPKeen 2 - 4 STLife CreatorPrime 4 - 0 Sting I think Keen did really well to go toe-to-toe with Vortix and JonnyREcco but even then both Zergs played kinda unorthodox styles compared to some of the more macrohard Zergs. In Vortix vs Keen, Vortix lost the last two games against his opponent because to put it bluntly, his build sucked and his decision making was subpar. He went ling bane muta on three bases as Keen was rushing up a third and going for double engineering bay and didn't even think of perhaps pressuring with mutas. For example.... in the final game on Antiga Shipyard, Vortix had ~10 mutas and saw a turret in Keen's main, then NOPE'd out of there. Anybody that has ever used mutalisks or been the victim of muta whorage would know that 10ish mutas can dive a turret and take it down rather quickly. And Vortix's decision to dodge the tower dive came completely at a cost as Keen moved a section of his marine heavy army to the main and shut off any harassment opportunities thereafter. Vortix could have caused a lot more damage or microed his mutas better. He could have at least dwindled down SCV numbers by a bit.... but I think he did not kill a single SCV or building that game. And with mutalisks, that is a critical error. That's just asking you to lose the game. Then you have Jonnyrecco vs Keen. Jonnyrecco's tech-heavy style worked very well to get him 3 - 4 against Keen but in the end he was punished on a few crucial things such as trying to get a fourth, something you will most certainly need for late game armies. Keen went toe-to-toe with two mid-tier-at-best foreigner Zergs (No offence but compared to big names like NesTea or Stephano, I think Vortix and Jonnyrecco are laughably puny). I think he will get dominated by Life, not necessarily 4 - 0 but there's no bloody way it will be close. And then Creator vs Sting. Creator has not dropped a single game so far and I think he won't drop a game until he meets either Keen or Life in the finals. Even then, I think he's poised to take the entire tournament and I wouldn't be surprised if all of his series were all-kills. His victims (since entering the Ro32) so far have been: - SeleCT 3 - 0: I would actually argue that in terms of tournament results, SeleCT is currently crap-tier. - CoCa 3 - 0: CoCa was one of SlayerS' better Zergs, To go 3 - 0 against CoCa is a pretty fucking good achievement. - STHack 4 - 0: Hack is hardly a top tier Korean but he's by no means terrible. | ||
