Gotta say there is a tiny bit in me that feels some schadenfreude that reynors protoss shenanigans turn on him.

turns out starting 2 games behind by not playing your main is not such a good idea after all

I can see the logic going both ways on playing the offrace or the main in the first couple of games in a Bo5, especially in HSC where it's more of a relaxed tournament atmosphere overall too. Still, would've loved to see Reynor getting a win with his offrace toss in this series but Elazer is too good for that.

Yeah even if reynors protoss is really good (if elazer isn't overdoing the praise) i still belive splitting the practise on 2 races still makes it harder on you than heavily practising one.

I get the logic too (and HSC is indeed the most appropriate tourney for such shenanigans) and Elazer just said he was legit scared of his PvZ, I don't believe Reynor was trolling and ofc it's easy to criticize in retrospect, but with the results you've got to wonder if he wouldn't have won in a straight ZvZ bo5

I feel like the off-race spott kind of always end up the same. At first it's really good since the other players aren't quite used to the little quirk in their play and as time goes on it stale on a certain level and theu go back to their main race.

I mean Neeb went all the way after having reached a pretty promising level with T but I just don't see Reynor do the same and once the surprise effect fades you've got at least one more mu (and one more race) to practice, I don't think it'll ever be worth the effort

Seems like a way more soild point in time to do that :D

Yeah that's a good reason why it was easier for him to do the full switch

Yea plus Reynor is like what? A 3 time back-to-back-to-back world champion finalist, I say stick with what you're doing lol, not sure that whole pvz thing is really worth it.

Man Serral might be a bit off currently but showtimes play looks really great.

SC2 pros grind an ungodly amount of games, and especially with a player who’s conquered the biggest mountains in the game, I could see having some new challenge really keeping motivation levels up.
I could definitely see Reynor being such a fellow, even when reaching an equivalent standard he’s not been quite as rock solid consistent as Serral and his form fluctuates a bit anyway.
He’s supposedly willing to give Code S another shot, guy just seems to like to mix it up to keep him engaged. I doubt he actually intended to play Protoss in tournament play initially anyway, wanted to see how far he could push it in weeklies and pushed it further than he thought so may as well try the next level.
And hey I’m glad he gave it a shot, adds some hype and fits the HSC vibe anyway.
