Yea, I got a bit unlucky vs him build order wise plus he is a beast. So I'm not ashamed of that. It's a good start and I'll not waste the motivation I gained from it. It's my first ro4 on a major stage like IEM. And for the first time ever I wasn't nervous as hell when playing Bomber and then was feeling good vs Hero too. That's a huge improvement and feels like I finally broke down a mental-wall that was blocking me from playing well!

Wow! I am still searching for any words. The series was completely incredible. The way you walked up the ramp after beating bomber - priceless. It was just like "who`s next?". Keep up the good work. It will pay off!

Congratulation to TLO for the amazing result!! I'm very happy and i hope to see you in more top 4 finalist in the future. Good luck for WCS, we cheer for you!!

Yay TLO! You'll make it even farther next time :D

Really fun to read those words from you TLO. Keep the awesomess up. I was very admirative when you improvised the roach attack VS bomber to deny his third until GG ensued.

Any thoughts on your upcoming WCS premier group TLO?
Genius has always been one of the top tier protoss. Grubby and Kas are doable but both still are really good foreigners. When i think about Grubby i have to always think about those baneling mines back in the days. One of my favorite moments against immortal all-ins during those months.
When i`ll have to make a prediction i would have to say that Genius will make it out of this round at first and after that it will come down to Grubby against Dario. Kas is really good too but i don`t think that he is on the same level....

@Styles: afaik Genius plays from Korea, so lag might be a limiting factor. I rate TLO a bit stronger than both Grubby and Kas. Against Kas he has pretty much won always in important matches and Grubby doesn´t impress me skillwise atm. So all things considered I think Dario has a decent shot for the Ro16.
Hopefully, TLO will also have stronger hydras until his games start^^

Thats what i was thinking about. I am not quite sury myself. Wasn`t that one of the main reasons players switched regions?

Ups, I wasn`t aware of it. Hm, that makes things more difficult but still doable . I don`t consider Genius as belonging to the same group of Koreans as Jjakji, MMA and Forgg, who are a level above in skill compared to TLO. Thanks for correcting me Styles and TBO

To be honest I don't really know Genius level at the moment, but I think it's one of the best groups for me. I'll definitely prepare my zvp and zvt see what I'm vulnerable to at the moment and play plenty of customs before my matches

Good luck for tomorrows IEM Dario - even though i think that it will be super tough to finish top 2 in a bracket with the likes of MC, Stardust and San.

Goodluck TLO in your bracket for IEM; tear it up!

Give him a chance when you are done with IEM, could be fun for the stream! =P
Edit: I just checked your bracket again for IEM--you definitely have a doable side of the winners bracket! I think you can take out Hanfy obviously (but don't underestimate him), and will likely get Stardust next. Power of Protoss aside, you have a chance there if you just beat Bomber recently. From the other side of the bracket, San and MC are going to have to go through each other, so you'll likely get another P in the winner's final, so it'll be the same strategies for the most part.
Even if you get bumped to the loser's bracket, you'll be on the side with more non-Koreans, so it is not all lost! Very doable, but definitely not easy.
Tear 'em up, Dario.
