cool dude, its one ghost but its also one thing out of many on the screen
I'd say when you have an insanely expensive army that's your ticket to win the game you should focus most of your attention on it
You should probably just by default pull back in that situation if you don't see a dot or a ghost because Terrans always attempt hail mary defensive nukes.

I believe Maru only needs to beat Showtime to be guaranteed to go through no matter how Byun plays
Maru could go 3-2, 6-5 and ByuN could go 3-2, 7-4.
Isn't H2H the first deciding factor in case of even match score?

It's actually not according to the rules listed on liquipedia Ties are broken in the following order: Overall map difference Overall number of map wins Match wins amassed between the tied participants ('Mini-League') Map difference between the tied participants ('Mini-League') Number of map wins between the tied participants ('Mini-League') Tie breaker matches Coin toss

Coin toss is weird. If the tie breaker matches end in another tire, just play the match again?

Nope, not at IEM.

Yeah I'm assuming that is like an ultimate fail safe for the weirdest possible scenario. Can't imagine it would ever actually be used
